I'd love to see this, but imagine some of the R&D required might be more difficult than it sounds. That said, I think they'd make a killing.

Quoted from Aurich:

I also get that it's hard to give up some modern conveniences like varied soundtracks and callouts and ball saves and modern lighting. Which is why I'm in favor of new game designs with retro flavor over strict remakes. There's a market for the former, I think a pretty limited one for the latter.

I think this gets at why Pulp Fiction is an early hit - it's not *just* a retro game. It's a retro game with modern lighting, parts, code, etc., plus a desirable license. I can see Stern going this direction to a degree. Let's see more modern/retro applications instead of remakes, please.
