yes there is actually something I noticed about the Tie-Fighter in it, from what I remember Star Wars Arcade machine was ‘fully’ vector (as in it used a vector screen (like an oscilloscope)), but the body of the Tie-Fighter in this video is definitely raster/pixel based – hmm maybe im just romanticising the Star Wars Arcade too much through my retrose tinted glasses, but I could have sworn it was an actual vector monitor, not just raster rendering wireframe/vector polygons…

im pretty sure it must have been because in MAME it plays as a vector game – you can apply the extra glow where the corners meet etc…

maybe its some home version in that video :)

(which (doh) I suppose would make sense seems as how theyre looking at computers with keyboards in the video and not arcade machines :p…)

really nice vector graphics there :)

cool Prophet 5 footage too – on a COMPLETELY unrelated synth sighting – I noticed today when watching the video for ‘King – Love and Pride’ that the brass sounds were a PPG Wave :)

Thanks! I always wondered who sang this song… remember hearing it in the early 80′s on the local new wave station and digging it. btw, Happy New Year Oliver ;-).

Dude! I remember reading a review of Computer Games in Heavy Metal back in the early 80′s, then came across the cassette at a flea market a few years later. I love these guys – thanks for the flashback!
