They could have had cleaner output if they start with the software renderer as that still has edges to work with and no triangle polygon madness.

And if they used a oscilloscope with a long-persistence CRT it would have been a bit like a form of AA... or perhaps motion blur

Awesome find!
I installed Hide Fedora on my browser (Opera Next) and that made the youtube comments section quite better.

I thought the Vectrex pretty much WAS an oscilloscope that played games.

Just saw a movie Young Ones that used a similar effect to display a robot's parametric recording (as opposed to full video capture).

I liked the notion (MINOR SPOILER) that if you knew what to look for in that output you would see it for what it was.

Tried this on my own oscilloscope the other day and it is pretty neat! Since I had the setup ready, I tried a few other demos such as YouScope (poking fun at YouTube) and had some fun with those as well 😀.
