Re: Tempest/Vector Breakout (was Tempest Multigame)

Why not have only two inputs and 3 outputs? Two inputs for the start
buttons, one output for the coin switch, one output each for the start
button circuits.

Pressing the 1 Player start button first closes the coin switch and then
(250 ms later) closes the start circuit. The 2 player start button closes
the coin switch twice and then the start circuit.

(Uh oh.... could this be a new project?)
