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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   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.

New Evercade hardware coming, arcade ports later

Evercade is teasing some news for the 23rd of April with the below image, which kind of suggests that multiplayer might be a feature across Evercade games. That'd be great for all the two player titles available across the many collections

UPDATE: Interestingly, the press release just popped up saying:"23.04.21 - Watch this space for more information and future announcements of new Evercade Hardware!" So, if it is a new iteration of hardware, stand by for lots of excitement! 

Original story continues: Whether this is in the form of a software update and USB link, or perhaps a new-generation console that builds multiplayer plus more power for newer games and features, we wait to find out. 

You can sign up at this link for more information come the time. 


In related news, Evercade is also promising that arcade originals will start launching for the handheld later this year. All of which adds up to an exciting rest of the year for owners after a relatively quiet start to 2021, not helped by a few small delays. 

The last news was the first few games for the upcoming Intellivision cart. But in Evercade-land that doesn't really matter, we have over 200 games to play, no downloads, loading times or panicking a digital store will vanish!
