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.

Live App now out for PS Vita, PlayStation TV

Sony's new Live App is go for the PS Vita, and at only 5MB won't dent your memory card. It lets PS Vita and PS TV users  watch live PS4 gameplay streams, watch livestreams that your friends are broadcasting and add your own comments as you keep up to date.


There's a bunch of restrictions for sub-accounts and regions, but that shouldn't cause too much hassle for most. You can watch Twitch and Ustream feeds, and log into each service to join in the chat. Now all I need is a PS4 to join in the fun.

Based on a quick play, it looks okay, rather neat. The search option is accessed by the tab on the left.  or you can sort by spectators, date and comments, which is less than helpful. Leaving any stream requires it to rebuffer, which is slower than on most other systems, I guess the Vita has less spare overhead. Guess that's the rest of my week sorted while waiting for Freedom Wars.
