You need a Two Channel scope with X-Y option. Channel one is your "x",
two is your "y". Some scopes also have a "z" for brightness of each
line, but I never use it.

I concur with Jeff; I never use the Z-axis input, either. If you've got
enough of your game's motherboard working, you'll definitely see the game on
the oscilloscope screen. Most 'scopes have X/Y input mode.

The downside is, the 'scope screen is so small that you may have trouble
seeing things such as your own ship (if you're playing _Asteroids_), but
you'll definitely see the rocks.
