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?

Royal Defense Invisible Threat lurks on the Vita

Fans of Fieldrunners (both games available for the Vita, £3.99 for the PSP mini original and £7.99 for FR2) can grab another iOS port today on the EU PSN. Royal Defense Invisible Threat has a fantasy twist, even if it still depends on Radar as one of your utilities.

On each level, you must build towers, save money, learn spells, and keep the enemy away! Your Dwarven kingdom's eternal struggle against the troll hordes, takes the usual form with upgrades, units and new skills. Not too sure where the invisible bit comes from, that'd be really tough!

It doesn't look quite as polished as Fieldrunners, but for only £5, it might help get you through the festive season. Also out this week is Red Game without a Name, which is cheaper and looks better.
