So I was looking through some of the original tables for Future Pinball and noticing that some of them are quite good, at least on par with the physical tables being reproduced. I began to wonder if the same thing could be done with classic arcade games? Hacks like dkongx and dkongpe are cool, but I'm talking about creating original arcade games limited by the hardware that was available at the time and using the same kind of aesthetics and design...
I don't know how many guys were involved in the programming and design of each game back then, so maybe this isn't feasible nowadays. It just seems like in the Donkey Kong/Pac Man period, coming up with abstract game ideas was an art form unto itself.
Neo-retroism may not catch on here, but a man can dream.

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
