Raster CRT vs Vector CRT

[NeghVar]

Ever play the arcade games Tempest or Starwars from the early '80s? I did. Ever wonder about cathode-ray tube (CRT) technology from back then? Raster CRTs are what we are all used to. But there is another which few people are familiar with, Vector CRT. This video from the Slow Mo Guys shows it. It is quite fascinating.

Tempest my all time favorite arcade game as a teenager in the 80’s. Yes I am that old.
