Anyone remember the name of a game, came out in '83, used vector-graphics to render a fighter-bomber flying through a two-dimensional maze? Definitely wasn't Zaxxon.

Oh yeah, I was still playing in the sand box with my G.I.Joe's cause I was 4yrs old!!!

Could it perhaps be NetWars?Comment

I seem to recall a game system called Vectrex that was based on vector graphics. I think Vangaurd may be what he is thinking of. It definitely fits the timeframe.
Never had one myself, so I was always willing to visit friends who did.

Yeah, your probably right.Comment

Vanguard is close but not it. In this game the plane and the maze were displayed in profile, not from above, behind, inside, or at an angle as is usually the case.

Vanguard is a side-view profile game. So is Defender. Both arcade versions are not vector-based, however.Originally posted by KRSESQ

Vector-based games were always few and far between. They're easy as hell to spot because the thumbnails generated in MAME look like the night sky through colored filters. The games in my MAME dir that are vector-based are:
Asteroids
Star Trek
Star Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Tempest
