Now that sounds really cool! I think that if you could take some of the older pins and juice them up this way, with the sounds, it would add a whole new dimension to the game. I love it!

Electronics/software people could do some amazing conversion boards if it was economical. A basic generic platform with writable software would be amazing.
Just don't like it. Perhaps it's nostalgia -- Gorgar was my first pinball -- long gone -- and is the game responsible for me giving up video collecting and jumping into pinball collecting. I want to like the sounds, but, for me, I just don't like it. I like the original sounds. It's like adding electronic sounds to an EM -- just doesn't seem right.

Right on Duane !!! Couldn't agree with you more.
We need to have at least a little bit of the past speak to us directly in our present so as to remind us of stuff we forget naturally, instead of having it tell us lies which we quickly learn to gobble & blindly enjoy until we believe it to be right. Sure it's "cool" and all that, but damn it, there is so little truth left these days, and even less when we allow ourselves to think it's OK to mess with things that are weird enough on their own and manage to remain damn interesting simply through the passing of time, providing that one has the right minds eye. Duane has shown that he has that "minds eye" in the above quote,- he still prefers the truth while seeing the appeal in the lie.
I think that what I am trying to say here is - DON'T LOSE YOUR OWN IMAGINATION BECAUSE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE APPLIED AS THRILLS & ADD ONS TO PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND\OR BREAKTHROUGHS.(i.e. Gorgar, the first talking machine )
Enough said, I rest.
Does anyone else care to "weigh" in on this topic, I am exhausted.

... things that are weird enough on their own and nevertheless remain damn interesting...
! That nicely sums up Gorgar. It is one weird machine. You have a guy saving a woman or is he sacrificing her? A demon on the backglass...very strange game, but a classic. Just a great playing game without multi-ball! It's perfect as is. I love the magnet and the placement of the drop is perfect.
Wow! That's some pretty heavy comments. It's merely a soundtrack... lighten up a little bit. We are not talking about minimizing or altering the "history" of Gorgar and it's "design". Just simply have some fun with it; it does not have to be so complicated, we live it every day in the news. It's a hobby
