Killer Instinct -Arcade- Emulation ?

Hi to everyone.

I've been able to play some good old games from the NES/SNES/Megadrive era for quite a long time now, and it's always great to remember and play those.

I've also liked a category of video-games that I don't really like anymore now. The Arcades. It's just a personal thing anyway.

My favorite Arcade game of all time, at least in its respective Fighting category, was, and still is the original Killer Instinct, of course from Rareware/Nintendo.

If some of you can remember, that machine was made, basically, to show off some of the potential of the furute Nintendo's console, which was code-named Ultra 64 at that time (Around 1995).

There was even an actual ad with the "Ultra 64" logo during the demos on-screen when the machine was idle, before or after you saw the presentation of some characters featured in the game.

That game had a depressive, massive, serious feeling about it, but that's a personal opinion. I just liked it. To say "loved it" wouldn't be a mistake in this case.

Anyways...

Today I was surfing the web just to find some screenshots of the Arcade version, which was surprisingly difficult.

I eventually found out that there is an Emulator roaming around, specifically made to Emulate Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2. Yes, the Arcade versions. No the respective SNES and N64 versions.

That's according to that web-page I found: http://home.tiscali.nl/breu/#KillerInstinct

What do you guys think about that ?

Was there ever well known KI (Arcade version) Emlator made ? Do any of you know anything about the Emulation works/attempts/history of the Arcade version of KI and/or KI 2 ?

If there was, and still is a KI Arcade Emulator around then I got to find it at all costs. I'd walk on a cloud, and be in Heavens. I need to play it again, at home, free, with friends. No fighting games can equal KI's Might ! (hehe)

Seriously. Guys I'd appreciate some help.

Thanks for your time.
