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 ...

Trillion takes modest damage in the UK chart

Idea Factory's Trillion makes it No. 1 on the UK retail Vita chart, while NIS can rejoice a bit too as Hyperdimension Neptunia Perfection comes out of nowhere for a chart reentry. Otherwise its business as usual, as fewer games come in retail packaging.

1 + Trillion: God of Destruction Idea Factory - 1
2 =  Minecraft Mojang 1 73
3 = LEGO Marvel Avengers Warner 2 10
4 - LEGO Jurassic World Warner 4 43
5 = LEGO Ninjago Warner 6 54
6 re Hyperdimension Neptunia Perfection NIS America - 4

Over on Amazon UK's Top Selling Vita games, Trillion is only lurking at No. 6, with Lego Avengers at No. 1. Between them are a bunch of Vita essentials, oh and Black Ops Declassified now seemingly consigned to the bargain bin in the top five.



Going digital on PSN, Day of the Tentacle slithers to the pinnacle of the Top Sellers list, with the on sale Resident Evil 2 making a dent. Hopefully XCOM (and Civ) is selling enough to convince Take 2 to keep its stealth mobile ports coming.

1. Day of the Tentacle (Double Fine)
2. XCOM Enemy Unknown Plus (Take 2)
3. Digimon Story (Bandai)
4. Resident Evil 2 Revelations (Sony)
5 Metal Slug 3 (SNK)
6. Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel (Falcom)
