 What about Tempest in Microsoft arcade played at 640x480 full
 screen. looks feels and sounds exact to me, and I have a standup

 junk.
 Opinions or rebukes?

Emulators for mass-produced games should be illegal. There is no replacing
the feel of the spinner, placement of the buttons, marquee glow, etc.
I would submit that you don't deserve your Tempest, and it should be
confiscated ASAP by the nearest posse of collectors. ;)
