Those that do so should be applauded for both their skill and their creativity.I just wish the creativity and skill were used in a completely legal manner.I'm not aware of any companies or rights holders (like Stern) giving free usage rights to their intellectual property.If that's the case, that's great. Go for it. I'd love to know more about it.The licensed games, such as Twilight Zone, Addams Family, etc. are called licensed games for a reason!  The pinball manufacturer had to license the rights to the names, images, sounds, etc. used in those games.If you are playing one of them currently, you ARE violating copyrights and could indeed be considered a thief. I know that I am unlikely to sway many of the folks here, but it doesn't make me any less wrong.What's the big deal about FarSight, that's gotten them so much attention?THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY LICENSING REAL MACHINES.</blockquote>
