Game
Info Overview
- The first Vector
Game from Atari with a horizontal Black & White Vector CRT
(19") is
an adoption of a basic program that was floating already quite long as
text-only game on various mainframes and mini computers, but now this
uses a graphical display with fast redraw rates and made it a real-time
game. Developed by Howard (Howie) Delman.
