>> Asteroids (arcade), used to have a blue'ish tint to it, that was accurate to the arcade

Yep. Definitely a non-color vector monitor when I played the arcade cab. If the monitor discharged some faint glow, I'd probably stand far away from that stand up cab and go play some other coinop game instead.

In a tribute to late Bum Phillips, a well known coach of former Houston Oilers franchise and New Orleans Saints, where some of the franchise teams' fans would hold up signs with "Loves Ya Bum" at some of the NFL football games during late 1970s through mid 1980s

"Ya can take some of your' nt src/mame/layout/depthch.lay file...




....and then refer to some of his' nt src/mame/layout/barrier.lay file..


...and then use some more of your'nt src/mame/drivers/asteroid.cpp file...

...and then shit bang (standalone singe driver file compile) that stuff' er together and see what "Boy Wheeee Howdy" shows up."


No one said it better than Bum back in the days.
