So I'm a big Space Duel fan and used to play this game a lot in Dayville's ice cream parlour, Birmingham England. It is a very smooth and fluid game. However, playing it in MAME I'm not convinced the emulation is 100% correct as it is neither fluid or smooth.
Watch the attract mode when the two little ships come on, one on top of each other. Each ship seems to appear twice - slightly offset. A sort of double-image.
If you pause the game, you will see what I mean as you will only see the *one* outline of a ship which is correct.
So something just doesn't look right.
In fact, playing the game shows the double-image even with normal gameplay. The rocks move slowly so they don't suffer from this problem - but your ship does - as do other fast moving objects.
It's like the refresh is happening at 15fps or 20fps if I didn't know better.
Can someone possibly check this out to confirm?
God, I miss those dark, musty arcades ....

Space Duel emulation not 100%?
