Someone has gone to the trouble of building hardware do display old vector graphics games. I have really fond memories of these things, and not just because I loved the PLATO console. My favorite was Ripoff, which is included in pictures on the site. There isn't a lot of other information available about it on the web. The best thing about vector graphics was the fade to invisibility from fast redraws.

Whose PLATO installation was that? If that was CERL, it was way before my time.
That is a University of Delaware installation -- I couldn't find anything from our CERL machine room.
Nice fan.
If you only could see the console, desk, Plato IV and twin binders, it would almost pass for CERL.
Starcastle just doesn't look right without the color overlay.
LOL -- I was thinking the EXACT same thing Q. Star Castle was definitely one of my favorite early arcade games.
I bet that VectorMAME thing would drive an oscilloscope in XY mode.
