I'm confused. So because there are 6 AFMr for sale in Denver, that means the game was a dud? Is that what you are implying?

Right, but then you are not doing remakes. You are doing "re-imagining" or whatever else you want to call it. MMr is still MM, just with new tech. Same with AFMr. If you start changing core gameplay I think that is a bit of a slippery slope. Cactus Canyon I think is the only outlier just because someone put out expanded gameplay and I believe, used some sound files that were in the ROM but never implemented, thus feeding into the whole idea that it was an unfinished game.

Even then, if CGC does a remake of Cactus Canyon (or any other pin) with updated "code" or rules, but doesn't include the original classic gameplay, again, they can't really call it a remake.

Yeah that was my point I brought it up in context that someone mentioned updating the code or gameplay was a good idea. I said doing that would render it something different than a remake, and really the only game that might apply was Cactus Canyon in which case - yes - having the tech to switch between "classic" and "new" would be pretty much required. I can't think of any other game mentioned in the remake list where touching the code or gameplay would be warranted.
