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 ...

Platformer INK will add colour to your Switch

Continuing the development world's current fetish with throwing paint splats on the screen (Inksplosion etc), the world’s first splatformer is coming to Switch! INK is a fast-paced platformer from Digerati and developers Zack Bell Games and Kittehface Software, with a twist – levels are invisible and must be splattered with brightly colored paint before they can be seen!

The Switch version has an exclusive two-player co-op mode as players can reveal levels in a variety of ways: double-jumping, wall sliding or squishing an enemy all create splashes and splodges. Even failing is useful – when your blocky character perishes it explodes in a shower of color, painting the surrounding area to reveal more of the level for your next try!

Key Features include:

  •     Test your platforming skills across 75 INKgeniously designed levels!
  •     Jump, squish, slide and die to splatter brightly colored paint and uncover your surroundings!
  •     Splat enemies, dodge missiles, and take down super-challenging bosses!
  •     Local 2-player mode
  •     20 deviously hidden coins to find and collect!
  •     Ambient and atmospheric original soundtrack by Vincent Rubinetti
  •     Precision platforming makes INK a perfect challenge for speedrunners
