Quake On An Oscilloscope

[GSZX1337]

A few days ago I read about this on Slashdot. Basically Pekka Väänänen, the man behind this, rendered Quake (using the Darkplaces engine) on an oscilloscope. For those that wish to read about this further, here's a link to the project page.

For those that just want to see the video, here it is:


One last thing: Does anyone else think this is close to what a Vectrex version would look like?

Yes.

This is just amazing. I kinda want to buy a new oscilloscope now.

You can't do it on an old one?

lol nice troll reply

"Please don't support this abuse of technology, Reddit. Oscilloscopes were invented to benefit mankind and save lives by being used for purposes such as monitoring heart rates. It's disgusting seeing a male program it to run a violent video game. This is exactly the same as going to a school for a shootout rather than for education. I hope this travesty is destroyed before a doctor mistakes it as a heart rate monitor and ends up shooting a female patient.

Do you just live in a mountain of old electronics?

Less now than in the past. I have been trying to fix/replace/upgrade while I can (hence why the oscilloscope is broken). But somethings it is harder to get rid of than it should be. Case in point I was given two 8 track recording decks last night that if I cant get to work I am pulling the VUs and buttons and trashing the rest.

And if you do do, you'll record a Punk Rock CD?

Let us know how far you get.
