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 ...

Brawler Project Justice finally lays down the law on modern platforms

Capcom's 3D brawler Rival Schools was one of my favourite PlayStation games thanks to its irreverent approach to the fighting genre.

I've long wished for a sequel, but I guess a chance to play it again will do, as Project Justice is the standout title (for me) among Capcom Fighting Collection 2, hitting consoles with an insane combo punch or 10.  

Project Justice

Packing in Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, Capcom Fighting Evolution and Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER, there's a lot of pummelling in this collection. 

Along with the Dreamcast's Power Stone and Power Stone 2 and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein, it straddles the 32-bit era with some big names and lesser lights. With a digital release in September and a  physical in October, get ready to hammer your DualSense, DualShock or Switch controller into dust. 


With a mix of pixel and polygon fighting action, there enough characters, combos, game art and more - all with multiplayer - to keep any retro fan happy, and help younger players learn more about the might Dreamcast and some of Capcom's less legendary releases.
