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.

Strength of the Sword Ultimate adds proper Vita stretch goal

Originally, Ivent put its console stretch goals at a rather optimistic $100K for the team's Kickstarter campaign. But the duo have now seen sense and listed a decent Vita stretch goal for its stylish Strength of the Sword Ultimate (that hints at Chair's iPad hit Infinity Blade, but probably better).

The game offers co-op mode, more customisation and depending on how much it raises probably a lot more. Other comparisons include a spot of Dark Souls, which can only be a good thing.



Now, with the game already up to $10K of its base $14K goal and four weeks still to go, you can get a Vita version for just $30K, which looks like something of a bargain. Check out all the other Vita Kickstarter projects you can support.
