It's just very bright and clean with no burn in. Possibly slightly upscaled. I ran across a standup version recently but it had a loose joystick that wanted to fall down when moved downwards so the crosshair looked as if one was having a seizure. Still managed to nail 14/15 secrets somehow.

I also finally got to play a Spy Hunter cabinet which has long been one of my arcade grails. And believe me, there is nothing like playing the real thing. The emulations and ports stink and you stink at them because the controls cannot be handled in the same way. You need the steering yoke and the gas pedal. Personally, though I love the game, I can never get very far at home on ports. Managed to break the high score, get past most of the first waves and almost got into the boathouse.

Finally, I unlocked 007 mode on Goldeneye. But seriously: 00 Agent difficulty on Aztec. What were they thinking???
