And if someone *were* to do this, I would do my best to support it with the
emulator, and then given sound, we'd have a functionally equivalent remake
of the original Cinematronics games using none of the original hardware!
(I'm assuming WG's color or Asteriod B&W monitors would be used for all the
games.)

This would certainly remove the need for a Cinematronics -> Color board.

Kind of a cool thought!
