Asteroids Deluxe question (opinion)
solid187:
I love this game on my Mame machine, but have never played (owned) an original. One has come up for sale in my area that I'm thinking of getting, but was wondering if the original is that much better than the mame version due to the special vector monitors that these use. Just looking for opinions. thanks.
ChadTower:
The vector monitor, the blue overlay, the mirror, the blacklight reflective asteroids... few machines lose more in MAME than Asteroids Deluxe.
Jeff AMN:
Vectors look WAY better in their original cabinets. MAME is good for checking out the gameplay, but you lose all the ambiance and "pop" that vectors provided. Even the original Asteroids is a million times better on an original cabinet.
ChadTower:
AD is like a DOTE, too... all sorts of cabinet specific extras that you can't do in mame.
Havok:
There really is no substitute for the original - this is one that Mame can never do justice to...
