Black and White Pictures on a
Color Monitor
Here are some screen shots of VectorMAME
running in a converted Space Duel cabinet.
These are B&W games running on
a WG6101 monitor. Some games look better than others
on the low resolution CRT of the WG6101. Many B&W
games included more details than a typical color game,
and those details are lost on the color monitor. For
instance Space War used very small ships
and while playable, doesn't do as well on the WG6101,
on the other hand, Asteroids doesn't
look bad.
These pictures were taken with a tripod
and a Nikon 995 digital camera. I've zoomed in until
the full image fills the picture, and have dimmed the
lights to cut down on reflections. My monitor has some
convergence problems near the top, especially the top
right corner, you'll see it's effects in the upper
right score of Asteroids, and the explosion in Omega
Race. For some reason my camera has given the white
vectors a bluish hue, on the real monitor they're white.
