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!

Astebros heads to Evercade in December

Modern Mega Drive hit Astebros, only just released from Neofid Studios, has been on my radar for a while, and looks like a great fit for the Evercade roster. So, it is great to hear in the latest Evercade Showcase that the game is headed our way as part of a cool dual-pack with the roguelite's predecessor, Demons of Asteborg, with two-player support. 

Also on the way as a double-bundle are 32-bit Goodboy Galaxy, a modern Game Boy Advance title, and 8-bit Witch n’ Wiz. Both family-friendly fare. Both packs arrives in December, marking the completion of the Evercade 2023 line-up. 


Evercade's summer showcase also revealed Full Void, the company's first solo cart title, and a collection of retro-modern computer games to go alongside the console editions.
