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?

SEGA AGES G-LOC Air Battle rages on Switch

Sega's G-LOC (Gravity Loss of Consciousness) takes off at the end of April to bring the gut-wrenching arcade sensation to the Switch. The insane aerial combat game, a sort-of sequel to the legendary Afterburner, sees you having to shoot your competition down with online rankings and leaderboards, minus the hydraulic insanity of the original arcade machine unfortunately.



The new AGES Mode adds more enemies, more missiles, and a more powerful lock-on system. Finally, the rookies out there can make the skies a little friendlier (or scarier) with multiple difficulty options.

Whatever mode, you fight through treacherous skies taking on an entire squadron of enemy pilots. Created by acclaimed designer Yu Suzuki, G-LOC Air Battle has you taking control of an experimental aircraft as you soar through the blue skies on a series of timed missions, sure to get the blood pumping and the adrenaline flowing.
