Art Master

About

Art Master is a 1983 Vectrex game designed around a light pen accessory. It lets players draw directly on screen using the pen to create simple vector-based illustrations. The system’s vector graphics technology allowed crisp lines and shapes, turning the console into a rudimentary digital canvas. Gameplay revolves around freeform sketching with limited tools, making it more of a creative toy than a structured challenge. The game was bundled with a light pen that never gained traction due to the 1983 industry crash. Only three titles were made for the accessory, all now highly collectible. Art Master stands out as a forgotten experiment in early interactive art, predating modern touchscreen creativity tools by decades. Its historical novelty outweighs gameplay depth, but it remains a curiosity for retro gaming enthusiasts.
