'oh what...there's no more siberian tigers left...all extinct are they...?
oh well...who cares...they don't have anything to do with me...!'

well.. add siberian tigers to the list of ridiculous things that Galaxian has been compared to... You see there is one MAJOR difference here.  siberian tigers are part of the world ecosystem and belong to everyone AND they are living breathing creatures that cant be restored.   This particular Galaxian in question is NOT beyond restoration even now... sure it would take some work and some money  but nothing is to stop somebody from put all the original guts back in and a control panel.  The side art is already being done.  Its not the last Galaxian in existence and..

Unlike tiger DNA, this earth is still producing trees, which is what you'd harvest to make wood, at which point you could recreate the stupid box that the SOLD ELECTRONICS could be fashioned back inside of.

I'm down with the above corpse analogy.  No electronics were harmed in the making of my project.
