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.

Full Void is Evercade's first solo release

Full Void is dark, cyberpunky platform adventure from OutoftheBit, and looks like a cracking 16-bit experience in the vein of Delphine's Another World. Such style and effort make it worthy of Evercade's first solo game cartridge release (with a special edition) including a stylish blue cart. artbook, comic and more.


 Cart no. 32 in the Evercade library, arriving in October, Full Void has a spectacular soundtrack and audioscape, endless peril and a full-on storyline. In the future, all of humanity has been enslaved by a rogue AI. Except for one brave teenager-in-a-hoodie

They set off on a quest to battle for their freedom. Explore beautiful pixel art locales and enjoy hand-drawn animations in Full Void, a gorgeous modern indie title for Evercade, inspired by the cinematic classics of the past.


This along with the Astebros dual-cart (coming December) add some serious retro-modern gaming firepower to the great Evercade roster, with the likes of Xeno Crisis and Alwa's Awakening, alongside the historic console line-up. 

I guess collectors will buy both versions, but I do hope the SE fits in with the rest of library.
