FPGA Pac-Man

FPGA chips are very powerful, have a look at this FPGA video game implementation that used to require a custom board and complex circuitry to make work.

"The original Pac-man arcade game, implemented inside a single Xilinx Spartan-3E chip on a Spartan-3E Starter Kit. None of the extra hardware on the board is used, the chip in the middle implements the complete arcade board of the original game!"

    Jeri Ellsworth, who designed the C64DTV, will be giving a presentation at this year’s Notacon about FPGA demomaking.

    Why no one is making updated hardware to text mode of VGA?

    More colors, more character attributes, visual effects, like region or per-character gradients, etc.
    Modern software drivers for frame buffers are so slow, even on NHz && GHz hype things…

    Yet, many jack off on text mode demos: http://www.taat.fi/tmdc/

    Oh well…
