However, while this hardware is capable of some pretty neat graphics, do not underestimate the man-months involved in developing the typical recent Atari arcade game! There is some damn good programming going on in the best video games, and having roughly comparable hardware on another system does not give you Atari graphics. (I am in no way connected with Atari).
