I'm sure that there was an AmigaVision flow (AV talk for "program")
in the PD that let an Amiga (running AmigaVision) hooked up to any
old RS232 player behave just like the arcade game.
If you can't find a "real" player, this is probably your best bet. You could
use nearly any Amiga that had 1.5 meg or greater RAM.
