TCW Podcast Episode 080 - Vector Lights   We look at the arcade industry and the circumstances that led to the use of vector monitors in arcade games.  While not as well remembered today, and with fewer systems still around, vector played an important role in the development of video games.  Vector provided the detail and capabilities that were not yet available in traditional raster-based systems.  However in due time Raster met, and then exceeded, the capabilities of vector systems, and with the lower cost of maintenance for raster vector has faded into history.   Slow Motion TV Drawing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJU2drrtCM&t CGA Graphics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKblgZupOc Larry Rosenthal from 2014 at California Extreme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apg3W7yXULY Space Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOtqX8r2rcE&t Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUp0lzFiscs Omega Race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80L9fnSvbTk Atari Lunar Lander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPtoFQDc2MU Atari Asteroids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUveu3Dm_Fo Atari Red Barron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oa7_mdJLUw Atari Battle Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdfKy4c7yuc Cinematronics Tailgunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbm5sw2eHQs&t Gremlin Space Fury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igp8-oNKejI Atari Tempest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMto2HJJSSA&t Atari Star Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgDdexv--ZA Jed Margolin The Secret Life of Vector Generators: https://www.jmargolin.com/vgens/vgens.htm Major Havoc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3o_vG2m7X0   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
