Released to arcades in October 1979, Tim Skelly's Warrior (Vectorbeam) was a one-on-one fighting videogame contested between two duelling, vector-drawn knights wielding swords. Contrary to the norm for future fighters, the game was played from a top-down perspective. Original Warrior arcade cabinets are extremely rare, with only 10 registered at the Vintage Arcade Preservation Society (VAPS) as of February 2018.
