Are there any articles on how vector graphics were developed for arcade games? I vaguely remember there was also one home game console that attempted vector graphics but cannot remember the name Was fascinated with it at the time but with only access to a TRS-80 such things were impossible to learn back then

I believe these are AI-generated photos, and perhaps content. Look at the back of Dave Compton’s shirt carefully, and you’ll notice that the left side starts to have garbled text. It’s very impressive, though. If I’m wrong, and these are real, then I’m very interested why Dave was wearing that shirt. Back in the day, it wouldn’t have been normal to have a custom shirt like that with different font sizes with your own…
I don't think so. Perhaps AI-upscaled? The footage looks legit and would track with the tube cameras that would have likely been used at that time. Although it sucks that it's deinterlaced to 30fps. Video like this really needs to be preserved without immediately throwing out half of the motion
Given that PC monitors these days don't have an interlaced mode, how would you display it? Line doubling, so you're throwing out half the vertical resolution?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree with the normalcy comment re screen printing. But the video does seem too high resolution from what I would expect. And why doesn't author discoose the source or a reason video was taken. Odd that there's very little chatter between employees but they were in front of a camera. Otherwise very interesting video. We loved battlezone.Way cooler than any other game at the time.
It seems exactly like what you’d get from a decent “prosumer” video camera then.

I don't think these buildings exist anymore.

The author has updated the site to address this: "Note: I’ve seen some online chatter about the possibility that the footage shared in this post could be AI generated. Which is pretty depressing, but here we are I suppose. I just wanted to clarify that it is not. It would be pretty daft of me to be knowingly posting AI generated footage on a blog that I’ve worked hard to keep on the up and up. The footage was capture…
What a wild Twilight Zone we've entered.
I worked in a restaurant in 81 while in HS. Next door was a convenience store that had Defender and Battlezone. I think I spent half of what I made on those two games for a few weeks. I would sneak out for a game. An addiction. I can still hear those Battlezone sounds in my head 45 years later.
