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.

Adventures of Mana now up on EU PSN

Only a few months ago, this game was definitely not headed our way, and despite a lot of subsequent shows of support, Square never officially changed their minds. However, here it is, live now on the EU PSN! Its £11.49 compared to the iOS version's £7.99 (plus in-app purchases).

That version arrived in February and has since garnered a massive 12 reviews, suggesting the mobile gaming community isn't exactly lapping it up. That may be why it has sprung up on Vita, to try and claw back some cash.

So, go get it to prove that it is worth Square's time making the port and that the Vita community sticks to its word. Remember to rate it on PSN, so we can see how many buyers there are. Quite why Square couldn't mention this as a bit of bonus news at E3, or just let us know it was coming - who knows? But get the word out there and start adventuring!
