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?

Civilization Revolution 2 Plus given a PEGI rating for Vita

Civilization Revolution 2 Plus has been rumoured for a while, with various sources and leaks, but it looks like it is actually happening, now it has an official PEGI rating. It does have today as a release date, but that's probably just random form filling. Not sure what the "Plus" stands for as there doesn't appear to be any in-app content, perhaps its the latest version with new missions?


The game came out last year on iOS for £7.99 ($9.99), and while the official site doesn't mention the Vita, I guess this confirms everything. It would be great to get a Firaxis title on the Vita, and those earlier leaks also mentioned an X-Com game coming, which would be even better. If they all run off the same engine, other Firaxis titles could follow, so stay tuned!

    I have the Android version. It was a disappointment. Too simplified for true Civilization fans.
