Can I use VectorVGA Tempest with any other games, like Star Wars or Asteroids?

0

At the present time, VectorVGA Tempest can only be used with Atari Tempest, Space Duel, Gravitar, Black Widow, and Quantum, which all have similar monitor requirements. VectorVGA Tempest compatible games all have 7-color graphics (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, and white). VectorVGA Tempest doesn’t support monochrome vector games, because some games like Asteroids have a laser-intensity shot that cannot be duplicated by any raster monitor in existence, and some workaround must be devised. Late Vector-era games like Star Wars have faster scan speeds and special effects that are not yet supported by the converter. The vector monitors of other systems, like the Sega G08, use different X-Y voltages and supply voltage.
