Here's my request and a small mock-up I made. Unlike recent Midway "ports" (really emulated versions) that focus on only the arcade versions, this is an opportunity to pay tribute to the console versions that we all probably grew up on. They can be included in this remake. Here's what the PC intro could look like in HD:
I always thought this was the coolest thing when I first saw it, and was shocked it wasn't on any other port.
The Genesis/MegaDrive also had exclusive content like a "code of honor" screen, options for flags, etc. Also, depending on what flags you entered, you could see different silhouettes in the Pit, usually the initials of whoever the top-ranked player was, or a bouncing head that belonged to Fergus McGovern from Probe Entertainment. Are these options that the group would consider including in this remake?
Here's the code screens from the Sega version I mentioned:
