Conclusion 36:05\r
\r
For the this experiment, I threw in video of the arcade games played via MAME (an emulator). It isnt the best comparison, but I dont have a room full of refrigerator-sized single game machines (which would be awesome though I can see the argument that it could be wasteful).\r
\r
Additionally, these plug & play games are most likely re-creations or emulated. My bet is they are re-creations. The black Retro Arcade Pac-Man plug & play fares better technically, but there are some sounds like those in Pole Position, the original Pac-Man, and New Rally-X that differ. I have not played the original Pole Position on an arcade machine ever so I cant say whether MAME is even doing a great job.\r
