    The think is a game like Krull only commands that money because it's rare. It's kind of a cool game, good collector's piece, but it's really not amazing to play or anything. The lenticular lens to the lower playfield is a good gimmick, makes the ball feel way deeper in the machine than it is, but other than that what does it really offer? I have a soft spot for that film, but no one is going to line up to buy it because of that.

    You remake it and who's going to pay the $5k or whatever for it? Very few people.

    I'm sure 20 other people would too. But it's hardly the 1000 of MMr.

    Krull is cool, but once you've played it and gotten to the lower playfield it's not that exciting. I say that from a pretty privileged standpoint, it's a rare game and we're lucky enough to have a collector like pinsane local who is willing to share. But I just couldn't see spending big money on a remake. It's cool to see because it's rare, because it has history, not because it was that awesome.

    If I was picking from Steve's rare games to see the light of day I'd much rather see Kingpin or King Kong, those are not just rare but actually very cool games in their own right, and a lot of fun.

    Quoted from PPS:

    never say never ...

    I could see you doing something like Centaur, has a pretty big appeal, great art, simple game so the BOM is lower than some, but I'll get the salt and pepper out for my hat if you ever tried to remake Krull.

    If you're on OS X you should be able to run it with this:
