Between Asteroids and Space Invaders, I must have spent about half my student grant in my first term at Uni. The other half. on booze. The other half I spent on food and rent, but that wasn't as important. It was always "the rock from behind" that got me on this game 😃
> Does that work on a digital scope? Sure, as it will likely have a x,y mode as well. But the display is using pixels and that makes it not anywhere as close to a vector display compared to an analog scope. (I believe it is "analogue" in case you're a Brit ;-) ).
Oscilloscope vectrex.

Will it Asteroids? Yes.
Thats x,y mode? Does that work on a digital scope?
Yes, it's XY mode, also using the Z input via an interface circuit. Digital scopes don't render the picture anywhere near as clear unfortunately.
