That sounds really cool! I've been planning to put a TG16/TB Plus
setup in a cabinet but, the Magic Engine sounds a lot better! Funny
you said something about comparing the ports to the originals. I was
doing that with a few games this evening and was actually a little
dissapointed that Galaga'88 wasn't as nice as the arcade version. I
know they could've done a lot better. Sidearms for instance is an
excellent port and even sounds better than the original as well as
many others. I sometimes wonder why some ports are almost dead-on
perfect while others look like they didn't even try.
