Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

with many improvements that they should have done when it was first released.

like physical changes and/or software changes?

I say go big or go home. That upper tri-saucer mech is BEGGING for some sort of skill shot based multi ball mode where you get as many balls as you can skillfully plunge into a saucer.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Skillshot on the plunge for sure. Adding Multiball would certainly take it to another level. And adding importance to the U-turn spinner/rollover, because it's the longest & coolest shot on the playfield & there's practically no reason to risk shooting for it, other than when the extra ball is lit.
So yes there's a lot that can be improved for sure. But I'm just going to start with the simple stuff first, like adding 7-digit displays. The game is just way to easy to roll.

That's a good start. Recreating the original game is a good learning process where you can focus on figuring out how to program the various basics and not get lost trying to re-design things before you know how to implement those ideas.
