But, in a lot of ways, this revival isn’t about the games themselves; it’s about the aesthetics of the object. The original machines worked so hard to disguise the simplicity of the visuals, with gorgeous decals, intricate cabinet builds, and the integration of illustrations around the VFD screens.
