    That's been done as far back as Black Hole.

    Quoted from holminone:

    An object oriented software platform that allowed the owner or operator to dynamically change scoring rules, create new modes, add targets (jpg- like in DI quantum theater), customize sounds, etc. problem of course is operators and royalties/rights. Some sounds people might want to add are protected songs.

    I believe that was one of the ideas behind the Mafia design, the potential of user-upgradable software and rules. But they found out what the necessary drawback to that is - a more limited insert layout and no playfield text. The game then ends up looking more basic than it actually is to play (a big problem with a simpler design style, it turned out), if it isn't going to leave players high and dry wondering what to do.
