Vectorbeam

Vectorbeam fue un fabricante de juegos de arcade activo a fines de la década de 1970, especializado en juegos basados en gráficos vectoriales.[1]​[2]​ Se formó después de separarse de su competidor principal, Cinematronics, y desapareció después de volver a fusionarse con ellos poco después.

Fundado por Larry Rosenthal (diseñador de juegos)[3]​ y basado en su patente para una visualización vectorial arcade personalizada, Vectorbeam estaba en competencia directa con otros fabricantes de juegos de arcade. La compañía dejó de operar poco después de las ventas deficientes de su juego arcade Barrier, y vendió sus activos a Cinematronics.[4]​

I was a friend of Larry Rosenthal's, and when he broke from Cinematronics to start Vectorbeam I became his lead (and only) programmer. Vectorbeam lasted for one year, and was then bought by Cinematronics at which time I left. ....When Larry sold VB, for 2 million dollars....Vectorbeam only existed for 1 year: I recall Sept 1978 to Aug 1979, but may be off a month either way...For the record, the max company size was about 80 employees.... it was described in one of Larry's patents, namely: US Patent # 4,053,740 (Oct 11, 1977) for a "Video Game System"
