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.

I'm guessing only Sony fans will ever see this, so they should already know this stuff. The "simply amazing" tag could be read as I'd be simply amazed if anyone in the real world ever hears about PS TV!

If it ever makes it to a wider audience, please let me know. Really, what is Sony doing to promote its new budget box? To be fair, the advert shows off the Vita's big hitters, including Killzone and Final Fantasy, streaming movies and PS4 remote play, guess they couldn't quite fit Minecraft in there, but Fez will do. Play that a few hundred times on prime-time and it might generate some interest.
