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?

Ratalaika's roster of games rolling to the Vita soon

Ratalaika is another smaller publisher that's seen the opportunity in the Vita, along with the likes of Qubic. They have a roster of titles slated for release over the year.

Upping the pace a bit, Blasting Agent from Axol Studios just hit Steam and has bags of appeal as a tiny-pixel shooter. Platform puzzler Twin Robots from Thin Ice should be arriving later in the year, while League of Evil from Woblyware Oy is an older (2012) iOS title, very well rated, with lots of pixel action platforming fun.

Hopefully, Ratalaika has plenty more classics to pick up and port for the delight of Vita gamers everywhere
