Quoted from NPO:TL;DR - don't be an asshole, or risk fading into oblivion.
Now, the majority of our community are "young whippersnappers" in our mid-30s with aftermarket parts, full engines/transmission swaps, re-designed suspensions, and total new EFI fuel systems - things that bring the car into the future. You mention his name to nearly anyone under 30 who owns a DeLorean, they will respond with "Who...?"
Damn, glad to know I’m not the only young kid who plans on buying a DeLorean!! I want to have one but I was worried that it’ll just be dogshit, glad to hear that it’s possible to pimp it into the future. I know the original engines can barely get that steel anchor with wheels up to 80.
There are a few games that will need the same modernizing treatment in the coming years.
Mainly games like Baby Pac that I’ve seen recently somone got rid of all the original boards and ran it off a Raspberry Pi with several fancy controllers and such. Essentially making the first truly bulletproof Baby Pac.
Games like the Pinball 2000’s will need new tech to replace the ancient computers in them. Maybe even bring them to their full potential bringing internet connectivity and making the status LEDs useful?? 3D printing has already saved thousands of pinball machines!
As for the initial post, Tim’s clearly having a good laugh and missed April 1st. Shoulda been a basement post to be honest. Oh well. I always enjoy how things like this take extremely unexpected turns on Pinside!
