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.

Sky TV not bothering with Vita or PS TV either

Looks like Sony really is trying to kill the PS TV faster than the Vita, as it goes all shiny on a content app announcement with UK's Sky TV satellite service. There's an app, a decent subscription rate, plenty of cool content and everything, but then promptly forgets about the portable and micro console.



The app arrives on PS4 now and even the PS3 gets it next year, but somehow watching on the Vita's screen is a big no-no? Sky Sports, Sky Movies and its 70 regular TV channels are free for Sky Multiscreen users or £5 for the Sky Go Extra service, plus on-demand content and download for offline viewing!

I guess Sky remembers the low-turnout it got for the PSP product it offered briefly, but with a more mobile and mature market now, how hard is it to code one streaming app? Guess we'll never see Sky on that lovely OLED!
