I was talking about NEW games using original concepts, and new color vector monitors. Not remaking old games. They still make raster games, but not vector.
SirPoonga:
Note, asteroids can take either the electrohome g05 (go7 is color, right?) or Wells 19V2000. See my asteroids thread in the arcade misc :)
ChadTower:
They can take others if you're willing to adapt as necessary.
SirPoonga:
Yep, Atari's "The BOOK" lists several. The B&W monitor faq at the Asteroids Repair Encyclopedia site even has instruction for using a WG 6100 color monitor for asteroids (which I htink would ROCK in my cabinet, then use ZVG to display mame on a real vector monitor).
ChadTower:
Eh, I've seen b/w games run on a color monitor, and you lose a LOT because the intensity of the high Z range signal goes away. The explosions don't have that POP to them and that is part of what makes the vectors so cool.
I have a spare Sega color that I'm probably going to VectorMAME, but if the b/w games don't look like they should I will definitely build another with a b/w and split the games off into two VectorMAME cabs.
