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! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Will gamers find the Vita adventure bundle?

Okay, ignoring the fact that TxK is definitely NOT an adventure game, Sony is throwing out another bundled 8GB memory card to gamers, packing in Tearaway, Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Escape Plan as downloadables.

There's also the console bundle priced at €199. Certainly a decent collection of games, but where's the Minecraft bundle I wonder? That's surely the one that would help sell a few Vita systems and generate some interest.


There are quite a few existing Vita bundles on Amazon, but stock seems low and prices have gone up, presumably as they run down to make way for the new season's offering.
