I have trouble understanding that logic. More companies want to pay for a license equals more income, I would think.(but I have a hard time understanding how big companies do business anyway so you might be right) Disney is far fetched either way. Too expensive and hard to deal with according to FS

I barely resisted doing some photo editing there, with that beautiful "mirror" like playfield glass ;)

More like Gary is the smooth ambassador talker and Farsight is bringing him money so he plays nice. The recent interview with Gomez was more like him saying that nothing can replace a real pinball machine. Does not mean that he dislikes digital pinball, is my guess. I am sure Gary feels the same.

So true, Chris. Another factor with Flight 2000 is that the lighted inserts and spinner value carry over from one ball to the next so getting a good score on ball one is really a must on a brutal table like that. It is a damn fun table though, with excellent rules. Happy that this ended up being...

No complications (like Bowflex explained) because that license would have nothing to do with re-creating a table for FS. FS is free to recreate Star Wars also if they could strike a deal with Disney. Nothing Zen can do about that, from what I gather.

impressive. Concrats. Spiderman too? Great machine! Love the rules and the flow on that thing.

Well, Mystery Castle or Pistol Poker from Alvin G. looks kinda interesting. Rare tables that would be fun to try. No clue if they are worth keeping or not, but interesting they would be. Slim change, I know.

Agree with you there Superballs. Good suggestion! Nice and simple. Should not be that hard for them to implement something like that either

If my understanding is correct, they do not need to re-apply for the Gottlieb license like they have to do with wms/bally. A kickstarter for Freddy? That'll be the day! Never gonna happen. Only a handful of tables have the possibility to succeed with a kickstarter and Freddy is not one of...

This is a great post! (probably because it is very true to how I feel about the subject ;) ) -The reason why Tommy and Elvis is even possible is because of them not having Elvis or The Who original tunes. Cover songs is much easier according to FS. (both of them are good pinballs that I would...

The timed tournament was a good choice by FS. It would be fun to have a tournament where there is only 4 tables and you have to play them all before restarting (there is always the pause button if you get tired) That way, it reduces the "start the first ball again and again until you have a...

Hei, It was out in 1981, can't be that bad, right? never played Fireball 2 myself.DE did a couple of non license games around 1987-88: Time Machine, Lazor War and Secret service all look more than ok. Only played Time machine but had a good time with it.

So many great ones still left. Why not do the whole Bally 1981 lineup: Flash Gordon, Eight Ball Deluxe, Fireball 2, Embryon, Fathom, Medusa and Elektra. (Centaur was also from 81) Could this be the best Bally year altogether? I am also really hoping for WCS 94 for June or July just to have...

So sorry to hear you had a tough holiday season, Frank. Hope you are feeling better. I am not very active here these days so I just now read your blog post. I too have a little Social Anxiety so I know it can be hard when it kicks in. You have always been a beacon of light on this forum with...

Thanks Kolchak. I have not played anyone of them in person I like AC/DC but it is not a band I listen to a lot.(Same with Metallica but it is crazy fun after a few beers :)) Same with Star Trek, I guess. The new movies are ok but I like the old stuff better. I do tend to enjoy having a few...

De-railing this thread probably, but I just can not make up my mind about Star Trek or AC/DC. I decided that I am gonna sell my MM and can't make up my mind if I want another Spider Man like game with tons of modes (Star Trek) or AC/DC (looks ugly as hell and no modes but a rule set not matched...

Agree, Kolchak. Fingers crossed

I disagree that this will be a game only for home buyers. To me it looks like a game that could only work in a bar for the casual player (or at a Ford Dealer shop) because you do not look at the art to closely in a bar.(more like: racing pin...looks kinda fun) I can not for the life of me...

Good news! Thrilled to see what he comes up with. Original pinball themes is sorely overdue. Thumbs up to Jack for taking a chance on something that has a much bigger risk factor on it. Let's hope it is a success so that original themes will not be a one time thing. What was the last mass...

Since they announced that this will be good news for both JJP and the whole community, I am guessing this has nothing to do with the Hobbit.(custom voices with Benedict Cumberbatch would be epic for me though) More likely a well known designer has struck a deal. Could be Pat Lawlor,(now...
