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?

Hacky Zack kicks over to the Vita

A Steam release last year, just recently dropped on the Switch, Hacky Zack is a fun-looking puzzler from SpaceBoy Games. It looks like Digerati are bringing it to the PS4 and Vita too, according to a trophy listing, although they seem to add Vita quite often for games that aren't coming our way. See the uncertainty over Reverse Crawl for some previous!

UPDATE (Jan 2019) - in a not-in-the-least-bit-surprising move, Digerati has revealed the game as PS4 only on their press release, with a PS4-only trailer. Another one bites the dust.

Either way, if you like tricky puzzlers, this looks like it could be fun, it has overall positive reviews on Steam. On the negative side, SpaceBoy hasn't tweeted in 18 months and their website is down, so don't expect any further adventures of Zack!
