I'll say....impressive update.

>ReBoot Hill

This particular update alone impressed the heck out of me. As a kid back then in 1970s decade and seeing Boot Hill at various places back then, it wasn't my type of game but as decades go by, the interior cab artwork is what I can appreciate since the cab designers had to be creative in how to make game appealing when video technology was still somewhat limited because of either video and hardware technology wasn't available at the time or simply way too costly to support.

Both side scenery pieces are still needed, but the background scenery is supported.

As listed in Midway Boot Hill white glossy cover parts catalog:

0612 - 00901 Vacuum formed background scenery
0612 - 00906 - 0200 side scenery card left
0612 - 00906 - 0100 side scenery card right

The Boot Hill artwork update still captures the spirit from 1970s as if one were playing actual cab. The backlit lamps (seated behind bezel piece) that illuminate bezel piece when playing game in darken/night room, is another thing that would be neat to have, but that was a visual thing....not part of the gameplay. A few of the 1970s era Midway upright cabs had the backlit lamp feature as well. Darn good job with Boot Hill artwork update.

Also, the backdrop has been replaced with a much higher quality version that Gene loaned out, which I photographed similar to the baseball backdrops from the last release.
