    Mechanische flipperkast Bally circus - reparatie Post #1 in topic

    Posted 9 months ago by Martin9000 – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply 9 months ago

    Hallo, Ik ben Martin, 26 jaar en afkomstig uit Gent. Sedert enkele jaren ben ik eigenaar van een Bally circus, deze werkte perfect maar door lange stilstand zijn er een aantal rekkers gesprongen, lampjes die niet meer branden, de balletjes laden niet meer dus momenteel kan er niet op gespeeld worden. Graag wil ik deze laten repareren, wie kan me hier bij helpen of kent iemand die dit doet. Liefst regio Gent, maar mag ook verder. Dankjewel om te reageren :) Groetjes, Martin

    new Capcom Kingpin finished software project 2.0: complete rewrite Post #8 in topic

    Posted 9 months ago by Isochronic_Frost – in Capcom ‐ Last reply 10 days ago

    Not sure about that. Didn't they just convert one to their boards and big display ? LTG : ) Just checked my documentation, the one at TPF was build from parts by Circus Maximus, and they did make Kingpin 2.0 software. I believe they also possessed one of the originals, so at least ONE prototype was built by Circus Maximus, maybe more. I am confident in my 12-15 number being exceedingly accurate.

Circus Maximus was working on remaking Kingpin (and Pinball Circus) and built at least one prototype of Kingpin, but I have no idea what happened to them, since they seemed to go silent a long time ago.

An hour later I get a text from him saying "We were kicked out by the headlamp guy!" :applause: I just have to wonder how fucked up Tim's childhood was to make him have such a hate boner for kiddos.

    I saw there is a signed pinball circus poster similar also, and original playfield line art for that one/two off pin. Be interesting to see what happens if another lists on ebay.

    According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Kingpin trademark WAS owned by Pinball, Inc. until 03/02/2020 when it was abandoned. That's a shame, as they had intended to remake the game. Someone in the Netherlands trademarked "Kingpin" on 02/23/2023. I guess it just confirms the earlier posts. I remember at Midwest Game Classic 2019 Circus Maximus were having prototype cabinets made. That's the last I heard of anything.

    Pinball Circus would be wild, I’m curious how many they could sell. I’d imagine Kingpin is an easier sell and could bank roll Pinball Circus

    Wow they were so far along...... If the rumors about someone else getting the rights are true - what a punch to the gut. Maybe that's why we haven't heard anything. Well, hoping for the best. Maybe they sold what they had? Or ended up outsourcing the game like they had planned? Com'on Pinball Circus...... that's what everyone really wants to see. What a comeback story that would be!!

    I hope they have good luck and continue their work. Me too. James did the ramps for years and was a friend of Python, who they started out wanting to do Pinball Circus to honor him. I wish them nothing but the best success going forward ! LTG : )

    I always thought Circus Maximus was trying to find someone to manufacture the game, ie, CGC? Atleast that's the way I understood it when I talked to them at SFGE a few years back. With that being said I can see another company picking this up and building it.

    Theme aside, which pins have the most innovative playfields? Post #19 in topic

    Posted 14 months ago by JakeFAttie – in All Pinball ‐ Last reply 14 months ago

    I've only played the shadow on Virtual Pinball, looks great and seems fun. Looked it up on pinball maps and there's one not too far away! guess it's time for a pinball pilgrimage. Also did some research on the pinball circus! so is it still available to play in Las Vegas? seems that's the ultimate pinball pilgrimage! And I do love Python...

    Anyone want to but a signed translite? I wonder what will happen for the people who paid high money to get #1, the first to be produced by CM. It was an auction as I remembered. CM should have stayed focus on pinball circus, maybe it would be more advanced today and they might have found a partner for this.
