On: I Hear That Asteroids Machine Calling My Name

I recently played an Asterioids cabinet at a retro gaming convention.

The shots in particular are extremely bright. Perhaps the cathode ray sits there slightly longer than for the other lines so that it's brighter.

I have a lasting impression of just how different the screen looks from modern displays. The combination of high contrast, light bleeding and the long image persistence makes it so different to emulation.
