As far as I know, no. It'll be interesting to see if the last two there can be emulated. If so, I would imagine quite a hefty system would be required to play them. Attack From Mars causes some slowdown on my P3-700 machine due to the DCS sound system. I can only imagine what the requirements would be for something that has an actual video display like them. I'm not sure what it uses for hardware, I'm even less knowledgable in the field of pinball than I am in arcade hardware, and that's lackluster at best too. Plus I just got into this whole PinMAME thing about 5 days ago, so I don't know jack right now.

Star Wars Episode 1 (and Revenge From Mars as well, I think) is a pinball 2000. From what I understood when these first came out, is that they are using a low-end PC to do the logic and displays. In fact, I heard from a friend in the industry that they were prone to crashing because for some unknown reason, they decided to use Cyrix processors!
