You know, I don't think we mentioned the dual X-arcade in that article. Funny thing to omit, because I've enjoyed short bouts of Robotron with it on several occasions. It's a great game to use to test out the device and push it to its limits.
On a side note, Bill and I encountered a Robotron arcade machine on our trip to San Francisco. Except this one was somehow set to free play. Bill and I played maybe one or two games each and ended up getting bored or frustrated and quitting. As I recall, we joked about how even when it was free it was hard to imagine playing this game for hours on end, especially when there were so many other games in that truly "vintage" arcade! :)
