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!

DariusBurst gets clever with the DLC

Now here's a clever idea to expand your typical shooter. Add in ships and levels from classic arcade games. Up for grabs are six DLC packs (3 Taito and 3 classic Sega games) launching in March for DariusBurst.

The Taito game packs will be RayForce, Night Striker, and Metal Black. The Sega game packs will be Space Harrier, Galaxy Force II, and Fantasy Zone. Each pack will include one new ship from the game of the same name, unique levels, and remixed music from its original counterpart.

Each pack will cost $4.99 USD individually or $11.99 USD for all three packs.
