Stellar work though!

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't notice the 'left' behavior. Interesting! I will add this to my todo list.
The arcade uses fixedpoint float emulation for positions, which i don't (for performance reasons). The drawback is a more squarish motion of Vic Viper and therefore also the options, tho most people won't notice
