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 ...

Luckslinger be quick on the draw for the PlayAsia physical release

If you look back for Luckslinger: A Fistful of Fortune on the Vita, there are comments going back as far as 2014 for the Kickstarted project. And while a trophy listing popped up back in March, there's been little sign of any actual game. 

Guess those few early-risers will finally get their wish as PlayAsia now has a store listing for the pop-culture pixel take on the western genre, a story of one man and his duck from 2Awesome and Duckbridge! But they'll have to be quick as this one is limited to 1,200 copies, which will likely vanish very fast. 

Note, EAS has its summer showcase video today (Tues 8th June at 4PM UK) which may have a few more Vita games to reveal. 


About the game: Classic spaghetti western meets hip hop style, releasing in Q3 2021!

In the Wild West, it takes a lot of luck just to stay alive. Fortunately in Luckslinger, good fortune is measurable, collectible, and usable whenever you need it most. Kill bandits, steal their luck and use it for your own good. The more luck you have, the better chance you have that enemy bullets will miss, you get saved from a bad jump or better loot is dropped at your feet. But beware! When you don’t have much luck built up in your special bracelet, bridges might collapse, rocks could tumble loose or outlaws might find a way to get the jump on you!

Inspired by the unrealistically fast gunslingers, dark humor, and greed-driven anti-heroes of spaghetti western classics, Luckslinger is an action-packed romp through the gritty frontier with a unique hip hop twist. Graffiti spraying, vinyl digging, slow drums, and jazzy samples give this western a modern and slightly anachronistic flair all its own.
