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?

Tumblestone takes a new shot at Match 3 games

Coming out on every format imaginable, including the Vita, Tumblestone adds a clever tweak to the usual match 3 gameplay, as you have to zap the blocks to create the lines of three. Due in 2016, it should help while away some dead time between major releases.

The press releases lists a bunch of features, hopefully all of which, expect 1080p should make it to the Vita. 
  • Addictive Gameplay: Playing "just a few more rounds" with friends could easily turn into a late-night Tumblestone marathon. 
  • Beautiful Visuals: 100% hand-drawn, 1080p artwork. 
  • The vibrant scenes and dynamic characters bring the game to life. 
  • Multiplayer: Challenge your friends and/or the AIs in local or online versus modes, or work together in the cooperative mode. 
  • Single-Player: Sharpen your skills with the Marathon, Heartbeat, and Puzzle game types. 
  • Variety: A dozen charming characters and backgrounds to unlock.
