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?

Deus Ex Augments the PS5

Or, you can play the Unreal Engine 1.0 original for like a quid on Steam! Thanks to Aspyr for the update, here's hoping for a sensible price. 


Based on the trailer, it looks like a light touch rebuild, with the original landscape maintained for that slightly bleak look, but plenty of detail going into the characters, modern lighting and controls.
