Another classic for the evening – Galaxian. The X1 really shines with arcade ports, they have such crisp graphics.

Part of the reason for that is the PCG (programmable character generator). The video shows the PCG in action, as it appears to be loading the full-color characters in real time over the garble that initially fills the screen to create a cleaner loading screen.

The PCG is interesting in that it doesn’t seem to wipe clean if you perform a reset. I’m not sure if you can actually save the data for use elsewhere or not, though.
