That's a great example. Nobody will ever really experience that again! No one will ever make a limited run of
CRTs or vector monitors ever again, but
I wish they would. People would buy them.
The prices people are paying for high-quality CRTs today are proof of that. I was lucky enough to get a sweet Sony PVM before the prices really went through the roof.But yeah, they'll never be manufactured again. It would be such an absolutely massive undertaking. I also remember vector displays first-hand.. those
were pretty awesome. You're never going to get a
vector graphics experience ever on an LCD because
LCDs are rasterized pixels not a drawn line.
Yeah and there's also the temporal aspect -- the "smearing" of ultrabright vector dots, like your bullets in Asteroids.I've seen folks be totally blown away when seeing something like an Asteroids cabinet in person for the first time. |
