Did the Target version even have coin mechs? Those things were cheap and would definitely not stand up to any sort of commercial use. Really rough play could rip a CP right out.

Technically, a reproduction of hardware is completely legal (patents expired), but including any of the original software is not (copyrights not expired).

That one uses emulation and isn't a reproduction of hardware. I think they use the PC thing to get around them being sued only the person using it.
