  Could JJP remake Williams games? Post #16 in topic

  Posted over 12 years ago by unigroove – in Jersey Jack Pinball ‐ Last reply over 9 years ago

  I doubt if it would make sense to remake classic B/W A-titles of which are plenty around. It would make more sense to me to do run of a prototype game like Pinball Circus on JJP hardware. Same goes for Capcom's Kingpin. Those designs are ready to go. It would keep the factory running while developing other themes (not doubting the factory will be running WoZ for quite some time).

  I'm going to make one of these one day. It's a 300 mile round trip drive, but I'll do it, ask around, people who know me, know I don't mind driving, when I want to do something. Unfortunately, I'll be working tomorrow from 7 A.M. - 1 A.M. Friday morning. I can't turn down the O.T., as that money goes into my pin fund (building up for your POTC [:shhh:] ). Bill Pinball Circus coming up October 27th & 28th. More bang for your driving so to speak. LTG :)

  I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but his TOPcasts were very entertaining. He has a Bally Circus on loan at the PPE in Alameda.

  Circus and Star Race, along with Roller Disco and Genie, all 4 use the same size lock down bar. They are 3" wider than the System 80 series pins. Can't help with price, it's too subjective to want and location (everything is higher on the west coast). :wink: Big game. That and Star Race are tied for largest pins before Hercules.

  Awesome contributions. I've been away for awhile, but now it's all edited into the list. Except these... How does the interactive backglass on Jungle Lord work? Pinball Circus has a metal cockscrew the ball is travelling down at. I was wondering if a similar feature was seen on a production game. What ones about loudspeakers is a bit fuzzy to me.

  Hey guys, I'm back in SD, and let's just say I had an AMAZING time in Vegas and at the PHOF. I played a ton of pins there from KOD to X-men!!! Pinball Circus was a cool machine as well. Some pins did have issues like GNR has a DMD on the fritz and SM had a weird flipper, but besides that, everything was great there. I noticed that Tim had probably hired a few pin technicians because I only saw him once on my 3 visits there. PHOF is a perfect 10/10 in my book!!!!!!! kwiKimart

  A lot of the anger at the 10k price tag is that he just might get it. And that sucks for the rest of us. That's a table on my wishlist, but that's just too large a chunk of money relative to most incomes. Didn't an AF just go for 7k recently? And they made 20,000 of those. Played Cirqus today at the arcade. Still fun. I've yet to join the circus.

  I went up on Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to spend. I would love to get back up there and spend some quality time with a few games. It was cool to play a couple I never had before (BBB and SM) as well as to play a couple I never thought I would find in the wild again (WoF, MM). I spent most of the time talking with Lloyd. It was great to hear some of his stories from the business. I'm hoping to make it up there for the Pinball Circus later this year.

  I'd be happy with a multicolor display like the new one for AFM in the back of the playfield ala Circus Voltaire and really think that would be sweet. It would be much easier to see while playing than to have to look up to the middle of the backbox. Especially for video modes. Did I say enough bad things to get shit thrown at me? Lots of video mode haters here for sure!

I was talking to the guy working there and he said they've been offered 50K for it and have declined. Knocked a bunch of pins off my pin Bucket List. Cactus Canyon, Monster Bash, Safe Cracker...
