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.

Slain successor Valfaris will slay the Vita

Announced earlier this year at E3 for PS4, Slain developer Andrew Gilmour has taken to Twitter to confirm that its more sci-fi looking cousin Valfaris will also come to the Vita. While there's no video gameplay yet, some GIFs lurk on the dev's Twitter.

The only detail we have is that after mysteriously vanishing from galactic charts, the fortress of Valfaris has suddenly reappeared in the orbit of a dying sun. Once a self-contained paradise, the grandiose citadel now plays host to an ever-growing darkness. Therion, a fearless and proud son of Valfaris, returns to his home to uncover the truth of its doomed fate and to challenge the arcane evil at its very heart.

Otherwise its the same-old slashfest with new and improved blasting, allowing you to dominate ranks of deadly enemies and bosses, from the weird to the grotesque (and some that are just grotesquely weird)! All to the thud of a seismic soundtrack by ex-Celtic Frost guitarist, Curt Victor Bryant. Guessing 2018 for this!
