Oh hell, if you have the ROM, why not ???

I suppose I've most recently played Arkanoid, which I thought of as just an
updated breakout. I didn't remember that the original only let you hit one
brick at a time.

Vector Arkanoid . . .

I like it. Vector Bosconian would be cool too.

Hmmm -- one spinner and two buttons. Now, if one built a steering wheel to
fit over the spinner, and paraleled some pedals to the buttons, you could
make a driving game on Tempest hardware . . .
