Summary
Warrior is a 1979 arcade fighting game and is considered one of the first games of its genre. Developed by Tim Skelly while working at Cinematronics, it was released under the Vectorbeam company name shortly before Cinematronics closed Vectorbeam down. The game featured two dueling knights rendered in monochrome vector graphics and based on crude motion capture techniques. Due to the limitations of the hardware used, the processor could not render the characters and gaming environment at the same time and backgrounds were printed, with the characters projected on the top.

The Protoss warrior Artanis is now live in Heroes of the Storm, and he’s a lot of fun! I’ll have more detailed impressions on the new StarCraft hero by tomorrow. Blizzard still hasn’t said who/what they’re going to add to HOTS after Artanis, which is uncharacteristic given the game’s fast-paced release schedule.
