Pretty much every Asteroids I've ever played has this thing, where exploding objects cause a line of flickering artifacts on one axis of the display; that is, something explodes and there are faint straight lines on either the X or Y axis where the object was. It doesn't happen every time something blows up, but it does happen often enough that I notice it. It seems to happen more with objects that explode and vanish, like saucers and small rocks.
I thought it might be a monitor problem. Mine did it when I bought it, and had other monitor problems, but I just rebuilt the display and it still happens. I've seen it with other monitor-issue-having machines.
My Asteroids has a G05 in it. My Asteroids Deluxe with a V2000 doesn't do this at all.
So, is this just a thing G05s do? Is it just a thing Asteroids does? Or is it indicative of a problem on the display or the PCB?
