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.

Minecraft Vita suffering frame rate issues

There's a Reddit thread, with a little of the specifics, and some folks on Twitter are seeing random crashes. Even those who saw the launch trailer mentioned pop-in graphics and chug when turning. Hopefully its patchable and not an issue with the general engine. Here's a gameplay video to help you judge. On the plus side, some folks note that levels load a lot quicker than on the PS3!



Europe finds out how bad, or not, the problem is tomorrow, I'm sure most of us can live with it, but don't get your knickers in a twist if the fan boys and trolls start chirping up on the forums. Let us know if you notice any specific issues.
