Never. Some games are expensive because they're rare, not because people want to actually play them. MM is being remade because people want to play it. Not enough interest in older titles to make remakes viable. King of Diamonds sold like 10 machines...a SS title would prob sell a few more, but not enough to make business sense.

Pinball is backwards. Sell all your pins and get a PS4.

What games are in your collection? I'd guess some of them are .....*drumroll* ...OLD!?!? ...Stop looking backwards, yo!

Forget the term "reproduction" for a sec. We all collect old pinball machines. We all live in the past. We love classic games, and get excited when we can purchase them in nice condition. No one likes thrashed games. People put a lot of time and money into making games nicer/mint/better-than-new. If someone offers new versions of these classics, there's nothing that different about the desire to buy one of those vs. buying an original....the new one will be the best possible condition you could possibly hope for. That's why MMr is successful - $8k may seem like a lot for a new game these days, but for a mint/NIB/restored/better-than-new MM? Makes sense. Now back on topic - what price point would "make sense" for a minty early SS game? Not $8k. Prob not even $5k. There's probably not a business plan for remaking early SS games that's sustainable.

Well, there ya go! I think you're the only one who could pull it off, as it would all wrapped into the technology and factory infrastructure you've set up with MMr....not sure if someone 'new' could pull it off as a one-off type of project, like King of Diamonds.

MMMMmmmmm....Black Knight 2000 w/ DMD, stereo "real" electric guitar version of the score with clear choir voices singing "YOU GOT THE POWER!!!!" ...If anything I'd love a kit like BOP 2.0
