Quoted from EJS:Let’s go back to score reels with each their own coil. Haha actually I liked with CGC did with remakes. Personally I don’t NEED a full LCD.
That is what I was thinking when I saw the comment below but I will do you one better. "We should go back to just having bulbs illuminate digits on the backglass to show your score, man. Who needs all this fancy crap?" 
Quoted from PopBumperPete:Pinball should have stayed with alphanumeric
Quoted from freeplay3:Back in my day, we had 3 numbered wheels that flipped in a circle. If we wanted to score in the thousands, we painted a 0 on the back glass...and we liked it.

Post it notes man. Considering how I have heard people say "lower scoring games are less fun... because numbers???" just take a post it note and add as many digits as you want. You can even make your different displays score different amounts if you want to give some players a leg up or leg down. And think how much fun a 60 to 80's game that scores in the trillions would be? Probably be more fun than Godzilla with its wimpy smaller scores
