No A native rebuild of an arcade game requires decompiling or re-implementing the original binary's behavior from hardware-specific code, which is deep reverse-engineering work beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Building this means disassembling the original game's code and assets, reconstructing its game logic and emulated hardware behavior, then writing a C++20 engine plus netcode for online co-op. The hard part is the faithful reverse engineering, which needs experienced reverse engineers and emulation developers, plus legal access to the original assets.
