I needed a new backglass for my environmental Discs of Tron, and This Old Game delivered. To create these, Rich laminates an inkjet print onto tempered glass. My new glass arrived yesterday, and I installed it in my machine today. The fit was great, and it looks fantastic backlit. In normal light, I was surprised to see how yellowed and pale my original looked next to the vibrant new reproduction. I guess that's what 29 years of ripening will do for you. This is an extremely short review, but in summary, if you have an EDOT, you should probably buy one.

And in case you're thinking, "that old one looks pretty good, what kind of weirdo would replace that?"

Thanks for doing these Rich, along with all of the other EDOT projects. Your work is greatly appreciated.
