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?

Jack N' Jill DX gets Vita trophies

Original a mobile game from 2014 by Rohan Narang, Jack N' Jill DX sounds like a Vita update. Describe as a cute retro platformer, the Game Boy monochrome release has a strong 8-bit vibe. The trophy listing offers 11 gold and a platinum. The author was also behind Squareboy vs Bullies.

Trying to find out what the DX version adds to the 140 levels over 4 worlds of the original. Of more interest would be Jack N' Jill 3D, a colourised, sharper-looking successor that came out on iOS last year. Hopefully that too will get a Vita release.

Here's a look at the original, while I try and find some more details. Based on the throw-away trophies and Squareboy history, guess this will be another Ratalaika release.

UPDATE: All confirmed and coming in September
