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.

Lillymo busts Tri Breaker's balls on PlayStation and Switch

The Trophy list is already up (with lots of S-rank toughies and a few fun ones for rage quitters), so I'm guessing a release is not very far away, should be before Christmas and at only $9.99, Tri Breaker looks a bit of a bargain.

To add to the original roster, Sacred Symbol co-host Dustin Furman is a new character, varied brick action and huge boss fights and extra challenges should make Tri Breaker a corker. 


Tri Breaker will also arrive on Xbox, PC and should make part of a great Evercade collection, with Lillymo's Habroxia duo, if the will is there.
