I'd started a couple thing with it. I made a little card-edge connector
that plugs the end of an Asteroids board and then plugs into a SpaceDuel
cabinet. The board has some circuitry and comes with a replacement vector
ROM. The end result is a color version of Asteroids. (Rocks are colored,
saucer is colored, fonts, shots, ship, everything... But in a coherent
manner-- not just hooking the brightness up to different color lines. ;-)

Only a couple people seemed interested, so I never did anything with it.

I was also kicking around porting Asteroids and.or Deluxe to SpaceDuel
hardware. That's just a "wonder if I could" project probably for the
SpaceDuel multigame (the cartridge based thing Jeff and I are tinkering
with). It's a fair amount of work, but not impossible. Have to finish the
Exidy Multigame first, and get the MultiJAMMA shipping though...
