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.

New PSN Spider game tunes into the weather

Sony's pimping a new indie on PSN that will hit Vita and PS4 soon. You play a spider, but in a novel twist, the game will link into your local time and weather conditions, all of which are pretty vital when you're a hungry spider out for dinner.

So, in theory, a downpour could blast spidey to his doom if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, but after a shower is a great time to set up webs to trap the bugs coming out to play. Its an interesting concept and the abandoned mansion you call home is also full of tricks and puzzles that open up a wider side to the game.

According to the blurb, "A secret society built Blackbird Estate for a specific reason. Not even the family living there today knows what it is."

Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon from Tiger Style will be arriving soon, not one for arachnophobia sufferers or those glued to Big Ass Spider repeats on SyFy!

UPDATE: Okay, "soon" was optimistic, over a year later the trophies have just shown up, guess the game will arrive late October 2016!
