Robotron seems to be much harder on mame because it does NOT bog down when there is alot of action on the screen.

Mame accurately recreates gameplay - including emulating the CPU used on the machines.

IIRC on older versions of MAME the slowdown wasn't emulated. I believe this has now been fixed but it's hard to say for sure without actually comparing MAME and a genuine machine side by side.

Ah! Learn something everyday. Thanks.
TOK:
The Robotron video blitter was fixed in version .99.
If you play an older version back to back, the difference is subtle, but you'll definitely notice higher scores on the post .99 version.
