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.

Stick a quarter in for Highscore Master on Kickstarter

The crowdfunded games list gets dusted down  with a new addition thanks to Dolores Entertainment (GhoulBoy and BitDungeon Plus). Highscore Master borrows from the arcade classics and slams some old favourite ideas together in new ways, from shooters to racers to maze games, etc. All with the aim to top the high score chart in each world to escape the master.

Or, as the devs put it...
What would happen if we put in a cocktail shaker Out Run, Space Harrier and Back to the Future? Or Pacman with  Saturday's Night Fever? Stop imagining it because this is Highscore Master!
Highscore Master is built by about 8 different arcades from the 80's. From our own reinterpretation, as we believe they could have been improved and carrying them to a current gameplay.

The game needs €20K (£17K) in funding with two months to go, and the Vita version is double that (€40K). A €150 tier will get you physical Vita versions of Dolores previous works, while there's . I recall an old trailer from around a year ago, so guess Highscore Master is pretty far along the road to completion, so hopefully will hit the end of 2019 release date.
