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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   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?

Rising Star bring Trailblazers to the Switch

After the impact of WipEout, there were loads of floating racing games hammering our screens. Then endless car racers with ever-improving visual fidelity, so much, so the magic of fantasy racing seems to have been lost.

Trailblazers might do a little to balance things out later this Spring, with a dash of cartoon racing with retro-futurish cars along bubblegum coloured tracks. Developer Supergonk has gone all out to produce a fun co-up racer, a track-painting mechanic to help boost your car when on that colour, with players working as a team to win!

Racing in teams of up to three-versus-three, players paint the track as they race, capturing key areas to dynamically change the racing line, then boosting on their team’s colour. Racers who drive with flair and style will also amass skill points to blaze their way to victory! Players can experience the blistering high-speed action with up to six players online, or locally via split-screen for up to four local players with additional online or CPU-controlled challengers.
