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 .

Also from Kadokawa, and a little different to the usual gameplay are some master artisans making models based on some of the characters from God Wars, because that's how they roll!
