VIDEO: Watch QUAKE Being Played on an Oscilloscope

What is Considered by Some to be the 1st VideoGame — Tennis For Two — was Played on an Oscilloscope at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1958. 56 Years Later, Oscilloscopes Can still Play VideoGames — in this Case, QUAKE. Finnish Modder, Pekka Väänänen Got QUAKE, the 1996 Landmark of PC Gaming, to Run on a Huawei V-422 Oscilloscope. You Can Watch it in the Video below, which Shows a Playthrough of QUAKE's 1st Level. Oscilloscopes Measure Electrical Signals so, the Video Output here is Some Kind of Weird Cross between Vector Graphics and a Pink Floyd Laser Show from 1983. It's Not the Only Piece of Highly Specialized Scientific Equipment to Run VideoGames, either.
