Tempest: who would be interested in a raster version?
Ummon:
There are several PC-type versions of Tempest. But what about an old-style, 8-bit, raster-style version? What would you think of this?
ChadTower:
Doesn't MAME already run the actual game as raster?

Last I checked. IMHO, some of the allure of the game is lost when it's run as raster. Yeah, the PC versions are pretty nice, I'm particularly fond of Interplay's version, but when it comes to the original, I tend to like it as the game was originally presented.
Just something about knowing you're looking and playing with technology that represented a different mindset.
RayB:
Depends what you mean by raster. Geometry Wars 2 (Xbox 360) on a High-Def tv looks absolutely stunning with its perfectly straight, smooth glowing lines. If your definition of raster is low-res and pixellated, then no, I'm not interested.
Ummon:
I mean a solid-object type game like Pac-Man, etc (this would mean the 'boards' would appear solid) but with exactly the same behavior. I don't like the PC ones because the graphics aren't 80s. I like the original a lot, yet I think a raster version could look really cool, though color choice for objects and such will be important. I have an inclination to ask someone to create one.
