After a bit of a small, somewhat unintended break, the next video is finally out. I have always been curious how vector-based arcade games worked, since I'm so used to the raster-based graphics pipeline and all. So this video was fun to work on since I was able to learn all of this myself too! Hope you enjoy.

Editor's commentary for this video will be on Thursday at 4pm eastern time! I might also do commentary for the SMB2 Eyes video too, since I completely forgot to do that last time, whoops!
