Are there any articles on how vector graphics were developed for arcade games?

I vaguely remember there was also one home game console that attempted vector graphics but cannot remember the name

Was fascinated with it at the time but with only access to a TRS-80 such things were impossible to learn back then

A really good start is Jed Margolin's website. He was a key engineer in Atari's vector hardware and software through the classic era.
