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?

Pic-A-Pix Pieces on PSN

The Pic-A-Pix series continues to bloom on the Vita offering fun puzzling wherever you go. Now on PSN for £6.49, the latest installment, Pieces, offers a big sack of picture logic games, where whimsical pixel-art pictures are created by solving puzzles.

In Pic-a-Pix Pieces, large pictures have been split into a number of smaller pieces. Each piece is a puzzle grid, and by solving them all you’ll form a mosaic that reveals a spectacular final image. A flexible colourblind mode has previously received high praise for allowing access to players who are often excluded from colour-based puzzles.

The time-trial trophies from previous games have gone, leaving players to finish them without a time pressure, and there's a Platinum if you complete the game, which is Cross Buy with the PS4.
