I heard Atari used a Quadrascan tube for its asteroids game. What is this tube? How is it technologically different from a normal scan tube. Is the game scanned? I thought it was vector. What about the color tubes that came after it : like Gravitar , Space Duel, Black Widow ,Star wars. What I want to know is what kind of display technology is being used since I am impressed by the quality. Also did you know that BATTLEZONE used a 32bit bitslice processor for matrix ops in the game.
