Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Rail Wars gets a character trailer and teases limited editions

That's not surprising considering the anime source material, and not much is being shown of the game in this latest clip, a month on from the original news.

UPDATE: THIS GAME HAS BEEN INDEFINITELY DELAYED BY THE DEVELOPERS! (Nov '14)

The limited editions will come with a towel or blanket, which is what every trainspotter needs, I guess. Plus some other, as yet unrevealed goodies. Rail Simulator it certainly isn't but you have to hope there's plenty of choo-choo action too.
