        Sounds alot like the other "arcade classics" PCBs I've seen (they
were auctioning one on eBay last week, and it went for like $150, as I recall).
I've played some of these games at the Seattle Gameworks (two machines with
DigDug, RallyX, PacMan, and Arkanoid), and they were not much improvement from
the originals aside from the simultaneous 2-player mode. I'd probably buy one
just for the fun of 2-player PacMan, tho...

        I also have to wonder if they ever field-tested these things - I was
able to play for like 20 minutes per credit on RallyX and PacMan, which makes
for pretty low income for operators ;)
