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 ...

Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies hits UK No. 1

The UK Vita retail chart doesn't need many sales for a game to hit No. 1. I have no idea how few such a niche game with a terrible title managed, but all hail Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies from Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Tamsoft.


What do we reckon, 100 to 300 retail sales? How much long will any publisher continue to put games on shelves, perhaps opting for own-store retail limited editions or pre-order to publish schemes like Limited Run. Or, they'll go all digital and that's out lot for the little blue cases.

Over on PSN, where frankly most of the action is these days, there's plenty of small titles rushing to the top to mix in it with Japan's bigger titles. Hopefully Severed sold well enough in its first weeks to make DrinkBox feel it was worth the effort, although only 179 ratings suggest it didn't go mental.

1. Neverending Nightmares
2. Corridor Z
3. Azkend 2
4. Ray Gigant
5. The Sun and the Moon
6. Severed
7. Aegis of Earth
8. Risk of Rain
9. Axiom Verge
10. Samurai Warriors 4 Empires

God Eater 2 is already atop the Amazon UK Vita top sellers thanks to hefty pre-orders, among a mix of oldies with Megatagmension only making into just into the top 10.
