The idea was cool with the playfield layout, the colours and the artwork. It does have features of an EM, but not the character. The cabinet is atrocious, and the gobble holes are gone. The original idea has been lost in the "modernization" of an EM with latest technology. As an old fart, this project misses the point.

Why aren't Stern promoting this product ? They are simply producing it and distributing it. Seriously, I'd say AUS$2000 is too much for this game. No, I don't want to play it.

Ironically, Capcom wanted the feel of an SS game when they released Breakshot. Absolutely amazing game, because they kept the original character of a game from that period. This machine does not look like anything from any period. It is an abomination - made worse by a pricetag that would suggest it was made of gold.
