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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles crashes into No. 1 across the UK charts

The UK Vita retail chart is practically buzzing with a string of recent releases in the chart. The latest to go straight in at No. 1 is Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Chronicles,developed by Climax. It also hit No. 36 in the all formats full price chart. It replaces Trillion which drops rapidly down to No. 7 and Senran Kagura lurks just outside the top 10.

2. Minecraft Mojang
3. Lego Marvel Avengers
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Lego Ninjago

The PSN top sellers list is dominated by western classic remakes, but Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth continues to show awesome legs, wouldn't be surprised if that was the best selling Vita game behind Minecraft this year. Pretty sure AC:C will go top when this list updates.

1. Day of the Tentacle Remastered
2. Civilization Revolution 2 Plus
3. Xcom: Enemy Unknown Plus
4. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
5. Trillion God of Destruction

Over on Amazon UK, Assassin's Creed Chronicles is also on top of the Amazon Top Vita Sellers list. FIFA 15 and Need for Speed are also in the top five, showing that EA could have continued with these games and still made a decent return on modest updates. Next out in physical form are MegaTagmension and Stranger of Sword City, which might be rather more niche affairs.
