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 .

Freedom Wars 1.20 offers 8-player mode

Hitting Japan in October, Freedom Wars' next big update to version 1.20 will add eight-way player-vs-player battles for some bigger, badder, PvP action. That's on top of the previous August update which added basic multiplayer features to the game. No fixed date yet but hopefully this update will appear not long after the western release.
