Asteroids artwork file with screen burn-in
TheShanMan:
Very cool.
Level42:
Funny. If my Meteor would have a burn in like that, I'd replace the tube ASAP.
SavannahLion:
IRT RayB
That's not too bad actually. I don't remember ever seeing an Asteroids with any burn-in but from what I can recall from other vectors, the burn-in you have there seems to be a little on the severe side. I recall burn-in being a little softer.
Of course, it's been years since I've seen an honest to goodness vector in the wild (or anywhere else for that matter) so my memory might be a little off. :dizzy:

Given the excessive number of vector monitors readily available on the cheap, I'm sure most people would be more than happy to replace the tube. ;)

There is an Asteroids at a local arcade here in town, and it looks exactly like that artwork!
I have to say, that burn-in simulation is pretty damn impressive!
vidmouse:
I can't take credit for the actual burn-in image, just the
lay file... the image actually comes from the artwork
file I was using with v103, which I found off the net.
I'd give credit but I forget who did it.
Update on the lay file -- tried it on my machine at home,
there's some more work to do... hard to see the
shots being fired. Will work on it tonight/tomorrow,
see what happens.
EDIT: looked in the original art file and found
it was done by MarbleMad, with some thanks to
CADweazle for the bezel scan. Big thanks guys!
EDIT 2: Ugh, not sure what's going on... shots can't be
seen at 640x480 resolution (my tv) but anything above
that they're ok. THe old layout file works ok though.
(the one from v103). Hmmm....
