The MAME version of this is kind of too fast (which seems to be a common theme with their Exidy games), but I just whipped out the Colecovision and played to 214000 points.
Pepper II is a GREAT friggin' maze game.

I have not looked at MAME in years, but, I would assume, one of the most significant setting it has is how far down to slow the emulator to match original processor speeds. I mean, the processors of those arcade games were like what, z-80 at 2mhz? While the average desktop PC is running 3ghz? I mean, a typical Raspberry PI is a quad-core .9 ghz Arm processor, or roughly 800 times the speed of one of those original game cabinets.
