I defy _anybody_ to say that a "better" display would improve any
Big Five Software arcade games as they ran on the 128x48 monochrome
graphics of the TRS-80 1/3. And I defy anybody to find a better
batch of arcade games, unless you really want to see the blood from
kicked-in faces, a fetish I outgrew 25 or so years ago.
