Doom ported to Vectrex as Tron-style vector graphics

Original: Doom on the Vectrex turns the classic shooter into Tron-like vector art With some processing caveats of course. https://

Hobbyists have got Doom running on the Vectrex, the early-1980s home console with a built-in vector monitor, transforming the 1993 shooter into glowing Tron-like line art. The port comes with processing caveats, as the retro hardware requires workarounds to handle the game. Retro gaming fans are sharing the project as a striking example of pushing vintage technology to its limits.

Why now: Retro computing enthusiasts are captivated by running modern gaming software on obscure vintage hardware.
