Impressive. Good framerate too.

>both developed by westerners
Just saying, Japs are notoriously bad with tech.
>>3065257
Damn, I am genuinely impressed that a game like this was made in 1983. I mean that gives Star Fox, a game which came a decade later, a run for its money.

My question is, what made arcade cabinets so much more powerful than both computers and consoles?
Was it the large size of the cabinet that could allow for bigger motherboards and larger cpus?
>>3065601
Arcade boards are typically bigger than consoles, but the main reason cabs are so big is to stop people breaking or stealing them.

That's one isn't quite as impressive. Maybe it's the wireframe that makes it seem rudimentary to me.
>>3065601
Dedicated hardware.
>>3065596
That game uses vector graphics. I'm talking about REAL 3D graphics. Like polygons and shit.
>>3065605
Its vectors. Wireframe is badass tho.
>>3065794
> Wireframe is badass tho.
Not as badass as 3D polygon graphics in 1983.
That shit makes me jizz in my pants.

Yeah and both are examples of shitty Atari games. A company so cancerous, they literally imploded the NA videogame market with a flood of terrible games, attempted to make a comeback and got completely blown out by Jap consoles in the 90s. GG

They may not be textured or even filled, but those are still 3D polygons.

So many punk ass kids with no respect.

Atari was/is headed by retards.

Not only is this statement demonstrative of your gross ignorance of the subject, your analogy is also wrong and highlights your equally gross ignorance of oncology.

thats why we have atari consoles today right grandpa?

I had this game on PC in '84. It's not amazing, but for the time Pacman in 3D was pretty amazing.
>>3065601
When you could stay at home and play games on a console or PC and you had to drive or walk to your nearest arcade to play their games, they needed an incentive for people to pick the latter so they were willing to invest more into high-end hardware, fancy presentation or specialized gameplay gimmicks
really cool 3D scrolling effect on this prototype vector game:
