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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Original 2021 post: Now the Evercade news is coming thick and fast, I'll make this the featured post with the release schedule and links to all the collections, firmware versions and other useful information. Down the page are the rumours and suggestions from the community (and me) that would make great future releases.   

RUMOURS/SUGGESTIONS:

Blaze asked for feedback about a Homebrew Heroes pack, 89% of voters said yes, with plenty of suggestions for NES and PC homebrews. That resulted in the Indie Heroes Collection 1, a great collection including Alien Cat 2, Doodle World and Deadeus, so make sure Evercade hears your opinions when asked! 

The following suggestions came during an Evercade Twitter Q&A. Who knows what from the following is possible as Evercade engages with fans and publishers? Or what's just a fun pipe dream:

Taito Collection (New Zealand Story, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble etc) HAPPENED in console and arcade forms!
Psygnosis Collection (Barbarian, Shadow of the Beast, Obliterator)
Irem Collection (R-Type series) CONFIRMED!
Taoplan Collection (Slap Fight, Flying Shark, Raiden etc) CONFIRMED
Ultracore (the long-lost Mega Drive game)
Bitmap Brothers Collection (such as Speedball, Xenon, Xenon II, GODS) CONFIRMED!
Atari vector Star Wars games (ohh, please!) 
Majesco (the two companies are actually talking).
Metal Slug Collection (available on other consoles) Coming as part of the NeoGeo collections
Commander Keen Collection 
Wolfenstein/Doom Collection with mods

Some suggestions from the Evercade Discord channel:

Cinemaware Collection (Defender of the Crown etc)
Cave Shooter Collection (Ikaruga please!) 

Logical releases based on further editions of current or upcoming collections (games are my dreamlist):

Atari Collection 3

Ms Pac Man
Robotron 2084
StarGate
Jungle Hunt
Star Wars
Phoenix
Joust

Activision Collection 1
