But, there will be DEFINITELY better graphics than that shooter at the bar. Unless video games and arcade centers become really unpopular, then you won't be seeing Atari-like graphics, even in a bar.

Who thought of bad graphics like that in Back to the Future?

No

They don't change size but they had something like this on the Space Shuttle back in the early days when the Pizza franchise war broke out.
