Title: Favorite vector games
Post by: DKZOOKEEPER on May 29, 2019, 06:46:14 pm
I was wondering if the tech we have today if it would be possible to create new vector games on a versatile platform with fpga boards and create new cabinets based on games people make. And if not what is your favorite vector game?

Someone did make a new vector game but the last actual vector monitor was made in 1983.  Could you make something that mimics the style?  Probably but LCDs are still raster based.

Personally here are my favorites from the old school:
1. Tempest- love playing this crazy tube shooter
2. Asteroids- can't go wrong with a classic
3. Star Wars- fun game but due to current prices no way I'll own one
