Sadly, no. The version of the PCB that Scott has is the joystick version. Somewhere, there is a PCB that uses trackball input, as that is the one that was created first, but Scott doesn't have it.
He has the artwork for the trackball version, and even though the pictures shows the game in a cabinet with trackballs, they aren't hooked up. Those pics are 10 years old.
So "if" one of the other ex-Atari employees were to lend out the trackball version, then it would be possible. Or, if the ROMS were released, it might be possible to do it up in MAME.
BIG IF, though. It's gonna be a loooong time before that happens.
BTW... just for the record, a number of the Atari prototypes that are in MAME are thanks to Scott (Military Battlezone, Arcade Classics to name two).
But... I did find this interesting tidbit that I hadn't seen before...
RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
