The Stern and Bally games from that era were based on the same basic board set and very similar in most ways. If Stern had considered remakes in the past, I would imagine observation of the current Haggis remake of Bally pins might help them decide not to. Haggis is remaking old Bally's and adding modern bling and new rule sets to them. Sales are in the low hundreds (not thousands) and there is ZERO buzz for these games. No FOMO, very little if any meat on the bone for flippers even with only a few shipped at this point. Not to mention that Haggis started with Fathom which is the most desirable of the Bally games of that era, so it is all down hill from here.
I would love a new Meteor and a few other games of that era and would be willing to pay, but I am in the very small minority...
