Although the SS DMD era definitely was more "my time" (the only <1985 pins I ever played were Space Shuttle and Eight Ball Deluxe), the 1970s were probably the biggest decade for pinball overall. Though most of the top sellers were the early solid state, this "golden age" includes the tail end of the EM era.I would like to see more, but it depends on sales I'm sure. Big Shot is a solid 1970s EM sales wise (12K units sold if you combine with the 4 player "Hot Shot" version), and they have a few of the bigger old SSs (Firepower, Gorgar, Black Hole, Black Knight). So Farsight would have an idea how well the oldies sold I guess.Personally, I play Big Shot fairly regularly, it's a nice "wind down" pin. Firepower's actually one of the harder Pinball Arcade games in contrast and despite being so simple is great for a challenge.I'm thinking that the After Dark concept in part might be a way to get some oldies on, some of which had "non-PC" backglass artwork. (Nothing that would push my buttons, but I think I read someone say Gorgar's art actually was iffy under the E10 rating! Certainly the best selling EM of all time, Captain Fantastic, had slightly less-than-PC backglass art, if only in very subtle ways...)
