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 .

Mushroom Heroes sprouts on the Vita

Hidden Trap and Dolores Entertainment welcomes fungi adventurers today on PSN as a collaborative collection of shrooms use their skills to navigate to the end of each colourful level.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
