This idea has been discussed many times before. Some random thoughts because I couldn’t be bothered compiling this into a cohesive post.

I know it’s never going to happen but open source code for modern games would be awesome.

Cactus Canyon was unfinished, so it has to get new code to make it viable.

Fathom is getting new code but it’s original code is very basic.

The idea of completely new versions of games you already love is really appealing. If someone could find an easy to install plug and play way to overhaul classic games, like a colour dmd sort of thing, it would sell well.

Having said that BOP 2.0 was a bit of a flop, and it was about as polished and plug and play as you could get.

But how much do you think people will pay for this upgrade kit? I think BOP 2.0 didn’t work mostly because of price. Wouldn’t be cheap with the hardware and coding time required. But if someone could provide a hardware and coding platform, like colour dmd, and farm the coding out to the community, like colour dmd, where the coders are basically working for love, it could work.

Imagine the brilliant new versions of games we could get with the talent and obsession we have in this community.

It’s not my normal M.O. - I used to leave the extended mono paragraph posts to flynnibus but now he’s stopped doing it.

Hence I felt it was missing on Pinside of late. But I know you have trouble reading more than a few lines so I’ll be mindful next time.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

What’s the pic? Is there a NGC C in the works?

Wow, how did i miss that chestnut?!?

Well, that’s what countless hours of programming brings. Not easy.

Looks like it ended up being $1395 plus the p-roc - so close to $2k. I think bop 2.0 was about the same. At the time it was more expensive than the original game itself.

Wonder how many Ngg C’a he sold in the end. Not the most active thread.

It’s a scary looking thing - I thought they were supposed to be kind of cute?

Over here the biggest pest on a golf course is a mob of kangaroo’s. That thing looks like a bit like a demented kangaroo.

Self awareness is the first step to redemption…..though unlikely in this case.
