Atari battlezone on laser projector

See http://hotchk155.blogspot.com/2010/12/battlezone-with-lasers-part-2.html for more info... Using the MAME open-source arcade game emulator with some hooks in the code to output vector data over ethernet connection to an mbed microcontroller board. Mbed sends plot data to DAC IC and laser galvos. The plan is to be able to play the Atari classic on the outside of my house :)
At the moment the refresh rate is too slow on the laser projector - more work needed, but it shows up pretty well on XY mode of an old analog oscilloscope

I agree - the lo-fi imagery works. Nice retro feel with the rough defintion and monchrome green laser

p.a ah, Battle Zone - sweet nostalgia........

I actually kinda like how flickery it is. It would make for really cool visuals at a chiptune concert or something.
