Put another way, from 1977 to 1979 (when the Atari 8-bit appeared), the Apple II was the world's best video game machine.

I tried (at the time) to figure out shape tables (a kind of vector graphic) as those seemed like the way to go (short of my learning assembly — which was not going to happen). I never got a shape table to appear on screen.

It's too bad there were not more system calls you could make to handle higher level graphics functionality.

Very impressive demo nonetheless.
