Tail Gunner, Vectorbeam’s defensive space shooter from 1979, was built on monochrome vector graphics, a reversed starfield effect, and first-person turret gameplay. This episode covers how it was developed in the final days of Vectorbeam, the unique hardware it ran on, the gameplay mechanics that challenged players, and how it earned a cult following despite technical setbacks and limited production.
