What if it would have become the last vector game, and not Star Wars/ESB ?

Look at this video....be sure to play it full screen.....

Look how smooth that is...it looks very realistic.....would have loved it if that would have been turned into a proper game...

Indeed, those objects turn very smooth.

What a pity there's no game that can be played or even a demo/attract video :(

Yup Jed only did this as a demo, he's not a software guy.  The software guys weren't interested at Atari and vectors were declared "dead"........ :( Imagine what the software guys could have done with this....sigh.
