Why re release it? I just don't get Sterns way of doing things.. you get heavies, mediums and lights.. some are limited, others are not until production stops. but seeing as Stern wont release numbers sold we don't know if the light ended up selling less than the heavy. So in fact, one could be more limited than the other.

Roll on a few years and a few successful titles under their belts and they release.. wait for it.. Mustang!.. a complete mish mash of parts and artwork that really has no relevance to a classic Mustang car at all.. even has a horse neighing in the sounds ( do me a favour!!!).
It wouldn't be too hard for a critic to wonder whether Stern, looking to recoup some losses from Mustang ( cant be that many losses.. its a bitser machine made from left over stuff from the shelf), then decide to re release a known good title that is a proven player. I actually question whether Stern know what a good player is or how its achieved... seems to me they are so hit and miss that they have no real idea.

Now, im not saying that they shouldn't do this, but to be quite frank, it really is a piss take on 1st issue IM owners. A game has run.. its run is over. If you want to re release the title then make IM2. The great games become highly collectable which IM is.. people part with good money to own one, then along come the makers and take a lot of that value away with a remake. Stern just have no respect for their own market.
