Of course, your definition of "good" may be different from mine.  For me,
an arcade game is "good" if it is fun and addicting.

	Another thing:  there is a difference between ignoring the OS and
nuking it.  I sometimes don't care if a game takes over the machine.  But I
HATE games that force me to COLD BOOT my Amiga.  Yes, cold boot.  The idiot
programmers trash the Kickstart.
