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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

Grab those PlayStation Mobile goodies while you can

I was browsing through the PSM store just now, looking for any games I'd picked up but long since deleted to regrab before it closes in a couple of months (15 July). While checking if there was anything else worth picking up, I noticed quite a few free games there, and what's not to like about a free game.

The store opened two-and-a-half years ago, as Sony tried to ride the wave of Android games and bring some smaller games to the Vita. In that respect, it worked as there's a lot of content there, some great, some good and some amateur - but that was the point. However, Sony soon started to ignore it, dropped Android support and once it had grabbed a updates of the better games (Aqua Kitty, Rock Boshers, etc) for the main Vita store, all but gave up on it.

So, before this useful resource vanishes into Sony's desktop trash can, give the PSM store a visit, redownload your old titles, grab the free ones you can and pick up some of the goodies your missed. Many are less than a £1, so what's not to like. There's many more than my little lists, go check it out.
