These games are essentially flash games and thus they should be hackable.  The swf files won't play by therselves due to copy protection, but the hashes are included so it should still be possible.   They run at a fixed resolution, so the easiest way to get full screen is to simply change your screen resolution on the start of the game.  

-Update-

It appears standard windows shortcut keys work on these games.  So to get "fullscreen" simply press alt+space then x

Also because they are flash games, they stretch infinately.  And seeing as how they are standard windows (even though they don't look it) I see no reason why a launcher app couldn't simply make the window larger than the screen so that the bezel is cropped off.  The issue with centipede is fixable as well.  Simply write an app that monitors the mouse position and moves the cursor back into the pad area if it goes out.

If you had watched the video, you'd know that each game comes with a enhanced mode with updated graphics.

And you of course want the original Asteroids on your cab - it comes with monitor burn in!
