Oh? Completely missed that until I came here. I really enjoyed the strange aloofness (my interpretation, then) of this passage:
If he had the game to do over again with today’s technology, Mr. Rotberg said, he would change it even more: instead of a monochrome display, a color vector display could be used, and newer microprocessors and cheaper memory could add realism and complexity.
That text juxtaposed with the stark monochrome images of line-based vector graphics (no filled surfaces, of course) and my sense of what computer games look like today created a fun sense of ... I don't know. That the IEEE publication was very much removed from the real world in terms of games, or something. :) Learning that the text is 40 years old explains that, obviously.
