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 .

Finally, we have word puzzler, Mixups by Powgi, which shouldn't be underestimated, given the pleasurable and addictive nature of the rest of the puzzle producer's output.
