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.

Rolling Gunner blasts the Switch with a physical release

 Fancy some all-action blasting? Rolling Gunner is down to under 30% left for pre-orders on the Switch from Strictly Limited for £30.99. A tough but rewarding bullet hell shmup where precise play lets you climb the leaderboards, you can refine your skills in practice mode and save replays to truly analyse and master the game. 

Take flight in the space craft RF-42R STORK which carries the Rolling Gun, a special weapon that was built in secret to fight against BAC in the event of a crisis. With large enemies and a blistering array of firepower, the game took four years to develop and has been available digitally for a while. But collectors might like the boxed version, limited to a 3,000 copy production run. 

Features including:

  • Three different ships with different properties
  • Different difficulty modes allow players of any skill to enjoy the game
  • Amazing soundtrack composed by renowned musician COSIO
  • Several Stages each ending in a fight against a massive and challenging boss

 For whatever reason, the video quality is terrible, but it looks like a decent game under
