[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 258009, member: 320"] I've worked on a couple games from the 50's and a lot of what makes them appealing is the sound and feel of the game. They're "cruder" than the EM's from the 70's. Kinda like comparing a 70's Corvette to a 50's one. That's tough to reproduce in digital form. FarSight would probably stay away from flipperless games as it wouldn't be financially viable. But, there's a few 50's and 60's Gottlieb's that might work. FarSight would need to pick rules over flair. Take a game like Buckaroo. A big part of it's appeal is the back glass animation. That's really lost on a digital table where they've created a graphic in the corner of the screen to represent it. One of Central Park's problems in TPA. On the other hand, Buckaroo has the roto target in the center of the playfield which would be a hoot if FarSight did it right. Speaking of roto targets, King of Diamonds would be a good choice. As far as woody's go, many of the "old guys" usually have fond things to say about 1952's Queen of Hearts. I've never played one personally but I wouldn't discount the opinion of a collector, Gordon Hasse, or the designer, Wayne Neyens, when they say it's one, if not the one, of their favorites. [/QUOTE]
