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 ...

Just Ignore Them + My Big Sister Collection in a Vita Halloween physical bundle

Eastasiasoft's Halloween offering consists of a neat double pack of Just Ignore Them and My Big Sister bringing the short but fun spooky adventures from Stranga Games and Ratalaika to collectors, with their usual physcial pack-in goodies. The pre-orders go live on 28th October, with 1,200 copies of the bundle and 1,000 copies of  the rather less spooky Bard's Gold Complete Edition, likely going to get snapped up pretty quickly. 


My Big Sister follows the misadventures of Luzia and Sombria, two sisters trying to get back home after being kidnapped by strangers. Across the game’s multiple chapters and played from a top-down perspective, in My Big Sister, players can expect to clear puzzles and find specific items should they wish to advance through the game’s story, but be sure to take your time. With plenty of secrets and multiple endings, you’ll have your work cut out for you to make sure you get the ending Luzia and Sombria deserve.

Just Ignore Them is a point-and-click adventure following a boy's lifetime of monstrous followings. After his father’s disappearance, the monsters started to appear, but one night can feel like a lifetime of pain, suffering and horror to a child... and fast forward to the present, Mark is now an adult, haunted by a troubling past.

While perfectly fun games, there's nothing that screams classic, and the second release I'd only vaguely heard of. Bard's Gold Complete Edition contains all the hidden Halloween levels and a platinum trophy (as the new trophy listing shows) all as part of the physical exclusive. 


As usual, each limited edition includes the game, manual, soundtrack CD and numbered certificate in a collector's box for just US$34.99 + shipping. Bard's Gold Complete Edition will be limited to 1,000 units. Just Ignore Them + My Big Sister Collection is set at 1,200 units. Preorders open with online retail partner Playasia this Thursday, October 28th at 11pm Hong Kong (11am ET / 4pm UK).
