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.

Super Pocket Atari edition goes woody

 The fun factor continues to play a big part in Evercade styling with a new Super Pocket saluting Atari's early days. Not only is there a fabulous-looking wood-effect limited edition (2,600 units only). The Super Pocket Special Edition console features a special edition box and packs-in 50 Atari classics from the arcade, 2600, 5200, 7800, and Lynx eras.

Atari Super Pocket

Titles include Miner 2049'er, Yars Revenge, Crystal Castles, Tempest, Food Fight and many more. Although, every time one of these collections pops up, I'm sobbing inside at the lack of Activision games, someone really needs to sort this out! 

 There's also a regular Atari model, in black and red, plus a Technos collection going heavy on the beat 'em ups featuring the Double Dragon games,  River City Ransom, Renegade, Crash 'N the Boys among other brawlers

Super Pocket retro

These arrivals will soon make it four Super Pockets, all eminently collectable, alongside the original Taito and Capcom models still available and providing entry to the full Evercade cart range through the cart slot on the rear. 

Pre-orders start at the end of July for the regular models, with the Limited Atari Edition up for grabs now. Everything ships in October.
