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?

Evercade adds Amiga Team 17 cart for more physical gaming history

The first Evercade Amiga cartridge has been announced for the punky portable/mini-console with Team 17's roster raided to deliver a blistering set of shooters, arcade games and sports. It comes after some gossip and an early wink last October, and on the heels of a pair of C64 collections.

Many gamers minds might rush to fond memories of Alien Breed when they think of all Team 17's history and there are three games from that series in the mix. If you can't wait until the May launch, there's always the Vita/PS3 reimagined version.
