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 .

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?

Eastasiasoft and Dolores bring disco and battling to the Vita

Eastasiasoft continues to deliver the goods for Vita owners with two new games, UnderCoder's Conga Master Go and MadGear's A Hole New World, both ported by Dolores, this month. That's alongside physical releases of Arcade Distillery's War Theater and Mecho Wars.

Both games come with manuals, soundtrack CDs and the physical Vita card, showing that physical releases are still a thing! Conga Master, a 2016 PC title, is a pixel dance/puzzle arcade game as you have to keep the disco line moving while it grows. A Hole New World is an arcade platformer with plenty of jumping and shooting fun.

Line up if you like them as the collectibility only seems to be getting more intense for Vita games. Release dates are spread over the month to keep your wallet from crying too much.

• 11th July: Conga Master Go!
• 18th July: War Theatre / Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes
• 25th July: A Hole New World
