[QUOTE="Pinballwiz45b, post: 273662, member: 1051"] "I originally came up with the idea of Pro Pinball in the mid nineties whilst working at Empire Interactive when Star Trek: The Next Generation had just been released. I was both a massive pinball fan and Star Trek fan and I thought we could do a simulation of that excellent game for the PC.

[url]https://www.neowin.net/news/interview-silverball-studios-teams-up-with-pat-lawlor-for-new-pc-pinball-game[/url] Cunning Developments did attempt to get Star Trek: The Next Generation. That fell through, and we now have The Web. That being said, Blahcade did mention Barnstorm as a possible WMS takeover. Like Zen, they've worked with many companies, pinball (Mario Pinball and Metroid Prime Pinball) or not. I wonder what tables they'll do if this is the case? I recall them having a Black Knight 2000 in their studio at one point. [/QUOTE]
