Anyone Remember Microsoft Arcade for Macintosh?

Does anyone know if it ran on 680x0 Macs, and what the system requirements were? It'd be nice to know before I start hunting for a copy, to see if it's worth the effort. I've tried MAME 0.28 on 68040 machines and it runs too slow. Arashi, Maelstrom, and Apeiron are great, but it'd be nice to play the originals... Thanks in advance. ---- Liberated Portables & Powerbooks: M5120 M5126 M1506 M5409 M4990 M7940 M7777(2) M4880(2)

Microsoft Arcade supposedly runs on Mac II family or higher, PowerBook 160 or higher, 3 MB of RAM, and System 7. 68030 25 MHz seems to be the minimum, which means it should run well on 68040 machines. I guess I'll be on a lookout for a copy! ---- Liberated Portables & Powerbooks: M5120 M5126 M1506 M5409 M4990 M7940 M7777(2) M4880(2)
