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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Two more undateables turn up for Hakuoki Edo Blossoms

After weeks of likely lads, it looks like Idea Factory is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to love interest for Hakuoki Edo Blossoms.

First up is Hajime Saito who as the smirk of a convicted fraudster and a turn of phrase that would make Byron vomit a lung.


Or, as the PR blurb puts it: Saito is the quiet, “lone-wolf” who acts as the captain of the Shinsengumi’s 3rd Division. As a man of few words, he finds most conversation meaningless. His seriousness stems from his childhood.


Then there's Keisuke Sanan who's limp hair and weedy glasses scream "punch me in the face!" Apparently, he is logical and reserved (punch me harder!). He is obsessed with discovering an antidote for the Water of Life (and kick me in the groin!), because of his guilt over what he's done to the Fury Corps.

Yes, I'm getting quite bored of the drip-feed of drippy characters, just release the game already!
