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.

Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Duke Nukem and Whoa, Dave hit Vita on PS+ for Jan

Not much more needs saying really, a low-end effort for the start of the year. The Duke Nukem game spent so long in Q&A approval at Sony, that I wonder if it was worth all the effort, or what other buglets still lurk within? Still, with Devolver pulling the dev strings, it should retain all the fun of the original, with trophies and extra content to boot.

I can't find any mention of Whoa, Dave in the blog, so over to the PSN blog for that one. It comes from the folks behind the Bit.Trip titles, Gaijin Games, so should at least be bright and addictive, and there's nothing wrong with the retro-look either. Think we should also get the cool-looking The Swapper which is Cross-Buy across PS3 and PS4.



Let's hope some decent major release games are now old enough to count for PS+ in the near future, otherwise the Vita offering will start to look rather weak.

NOTE that due to the PSN outage, PlayStation Plus subscribers get an extra five days on their membership to cover the loss of action and a 10% discount off their next purchase.
