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 ...

Muv-Luv adventures take off in early June

PQube and IXTL bring the Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative visual novels in early June, landing in Europe on the 8th and the US on the 12th. In English for the first time, they tell the VN tale of an interdimensional love story that "takes high school romance on a roller-coaster ride through the depths of despair, culminating in a sci-fi grand finale."

UPDATED: Muv-Luv contains both the ‘Muv-Luv Extra’ and ‘Muv-Luv Unlimited’ storylines. It combines with Muv-Luv Alternative to complete a hefty 150-hour visual novel trilogy, the file sizes are 2.26 GB and 3.32 GB respectively, so might want to grab the physical versions if you're short on space.

According to the release, Takeru is your average unassuming high school senior whose entire world gets turned upside down one morning when he awakens to find himself in bed with the heiress to one of the world’s largest international conglomerates. She calls herself Meiya, and - despite never having met him before - she insists that the two of them are destined for one another.

This comes much to the chagrin of his childhood friend Sumika, the girl next door who’s always had feelings for him, who realizes that if she doesn’t act fast, she might just lose him forever. All of which begs the question: just who is Meiya? And do his feelings for Sumika run deeper than he thought? In the end, he’ll need to decide between the girl who’s been with him through thick and thin, or the stranger who claims they’re bound together by fate.

The games have been given a modern makeover, with updated graphics, interface, a new game engine and the first official translation!
