Warrior is a 1979 arcade fighting game and is considered one of the first games of its genre. Developed by Tim Skelly while working at Cinematronics, it was released under the Vectorbeam company name shortly before Cinematronics closed Vectorbeam down. The game featured two dueling knights rendered in monochrome vector graphics and based on crude motion capture techniques. Due to the limitations of the hardware used, the processor could not render the characters and gaming environment at the same time and backgrounds were printed, with the characters projected on the top.

Considered an early fighter, but really not much here to praise. It's just a clunky 1-on-1 with some vector sprites.
The graphics are not very impressive, despite the knights with whom the players play being interesting. The gameplay follows the standard of the graphics, but it would be better if it did not have inconsistency and slight confusion in the sword movements, which makes them frustrating, although I recognize the creative idea that the developers had, unfortunately it was not applied in the best way.
