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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Last Wings will wing over the Vita in summer

Last Wings is another Brazilian developed game from Vertice heading to PS4 and Vita later this year. With some old-school online and offline modes it looks like some simple fun, but with a range of modes to add to the action.

  • Score Attack: Winner is the first to kill 20 opponents, but be warned, it's free for all! 
  • Team Attack: Work together to hunt down the enemy team, first to reach 30 kills wins. 
  • Conquest: Attack the enemy base but don't forget to defend yours. Winner is who destroys the enemy base. 
  • Hardcore: Similar to Team Attack, but every player has just one life. Are you strong enough to survive? 
  • Random: The game will choose of of the 4 game modes randomly at the end of each match.

  1. Just to let you know, this game is very very very similar to an older PC game called Altitude. This is a game where I'd actually call it a ripoff. The art design, the map design and the gameplay seems to be taken directly from Altitude, and it can't be a coincidence. Altitude was a good game though, and it's free if you want to try it.
