Vectorbeam

Vectorbeam was an arcade game manufacturer active in the late 1970s who specialized in vector graphics-based arcade games.^[1][2] It was formed after splitting off from its primary competitor, Cinematronics, and disappeared after re-merging with them soon after.

Vectorbeam was founded by Larry Rosenthal based on his graduate work from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and which he patented for a custom arcade vector display.^[3][4] Vectorbeam was in direct competition with other arcade game manufacturers. The company ceased operations soon after poor sales of its Barrier arcade game, and sold its assets to Cinematronics.^[5]
