I'm ashamed to say it but I never even saw a real vector arcade game until a few years ago.  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)

25...but I think the problem was more that the arcade's I went to were crap!  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?!

Gunstar Hero:

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