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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

If you're starting from scratch with the PS+ edition, then it does a little while to warm up. Or, if you're getting back into it, then there are now plenty of guides to help craft the best weapons to do some serious damage, no matter how nasty the Abductor.


There's also loads of people in multiplayer, so give it a shot and try one of the Vita's more lively hunting titles.
