They'd probably all been dumped from the arcades I went to by the time I was old enough to know what games are :( I think they're awesome :) |

How old are you minwah? I saw vector games on location as late as 1991 (which was when they converted the Asteroids at the skating rink into Final Fight). My Star Wars cockpit had a 1996 tax sticker on it. More recently I have seen a Tempest on location (last year). |

I saw my first vector game a few years ago as well. Asteriods! I was in awe of the beauty :) The Asteriods vector monitor, I think, had something wrong with it. The ship itself was really, really bright, while the meteorites were very dim. I also played Tempest at the same location. It was an arcade entitled "flashbacks" and many older classic games. Very cool stuff. 8) |

Then again, I can't say I've ever been to a really good arcade in the UK - most of them are/were generic-jamma cab central... But jeez, Final Fight in an Asteroids cab?! |

I know of a working Asteroids Deluxe and a semi-working Star Wars on location right now! |
