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?

MechRunner release takes aim at 2015

The cool looking robotic/tank shooter MechRunner will get an early 2015 release as the developers plan to bring the shiniest vehicles and shootiest gameplay to the PS Vita and PS4 versions. If you were a multiplatform backer of the Kickstarter project, a PC version should emerge this side of Christmas.


They explain in a new backer post that, "MechRunner will be released on PS4 and PS Vita early in 2015. We still need to work out the specific dates with Sony, but the move to 2015 is a combination of where we feel we are in development on those platforms and how/when Sony feels that the game will get the most exposure and support. Experience (and Sony) tells us that we don’t want to be lost in the 2014 Christmas shuffle. We would love to ship something earlier just for our backers, but unfortunately that’s not possible."
