Seems to me someone in the arcade forums here owned one of these, but I could be mistaken.

Now Chris Wilkson has mine, but he hasn't gotten it up and running again yet. Supposedly the owner of Funspot has one but I'm not sure if it's on the floor. I was planning on going over there to find out.

How close is that hack to the original?

Not close at all. It even uses a joystick. The person who sent me the link is working on a flash version of the game. I'm kind of coaching him on how it works based on the VHS footage I have of it.

 

This is closer but the gremlins are moving diagonally which is not right, and the keyboard control ruins it. It's also too slow to back out of or roll through obstacles compared to the footage I remember. With minimalistic games such as this the devil's in the details.
