As long as they don't remake Gilligan's Island, I'm good.

Quoted from oldskool1969:One of my favourite shows and the pinball machine I will be buried in!
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
Quoted from merccat:As long as they don’t start remaking people I’m good.
Quoted from CactusJack:The world needs more Williams parts games.
My garage doesn't.
And where's that video of the dude with the long hair and missing teeth ranting about these remakes?
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Doctors Prescription..... Drink, Play Pinball, Enjoy Music and Friends, Have Sex.
That Dr's a thin skinned member. He left out a very important prescription.
Quoted from ASOA:Not all remakes are created equal.
There is only 1 Willy Wonka.
What the hell is a Johnny Depp?
Can you do the same special effects with Barnabas Collins?
Quoted from Buzz:Nothing is original anymore. Just a regurgitation of everything.
And what really sucks is all the originals get buried buy all this remake crap.
To be fair, the remake of The Mechanic was fairly entertaining, but just like with the rest of them, now the original never gets shown anymore. And that's what bugs me the most. If they are going to show The Longest Yard over and over again, they should fit the original in there once in a while.
Quoted from Azmodeus:I would like to see an updated cannonball run.
That was already an updated Gumball Rally.
Will these remakes ever stop!
Quoted from Astropin:Not when the original is going for 12k.
Haven't seen much of that lately.
So the question is now, if I want a real bitchin' Camaro, should I get an early Z-28 and hope it continues to go up in value, or buy a brand new one and let the chips fall where they will when I want to trade it in in five years?
Quoted from Astropin:Please...one more cargument...I know you can do it.
New Challenger vs. 1970 R/T ?
To be fair, on car forums, I heard they are considering using pinguments when discussing that subject.
Quoted from ForceFlow:The older board systems are fairly solid and serviceable. The newer ones--they don't appear to be nearly as serviceable.
But--most older games were routed at some point. It's rare to find one in exceptional, untouched condition.
I had a chance to play an AFMrLE recently, and compared to all the routed AFM's I'm accustomed to, the brand new one was a real treat to play.
But, I'd probably never buy either one at the current market prices. Either way, prices for high end or NIB games are a little ridiculous.
I agree with everything in this post except finding the remake a treat to play. It was a spectacular thing to look at for sure. But I found the flipper action to be total weak sauce compared to a well tuned, if even high mile original. They started out fairly strong and then faded into oblivion.
Quoted from Astropin:25mpg on the highway is ridiculous considering the 500hp.
Not to mention the 65 MPH speed limit, of course.
Oh we got 65 here. Used to be 70 until the gas crisis. It took decades and a song by Sammy Hagar before they raised it back up from 55. Some places in Texas I think it's 80 or 90 MPH.
Quoted from leonml:Yes we all cling to our childhood music as the best.
I've got a Bitchin' Camaro!!!!
Quoted from DennisDodel:Bob Dillon?

Quoted from merccat:Is it just me or did people loose sight of the original thread and that this is a parody thread?
The original thread got locked before it's time, so this one is a free for all!
Quoted from guyincognito:I thought you were the god of Thunder.
And fertility.
Yeah, but after a while you get a little burned out on that.
