Quoted from Silverballer:Family Guy / Shrek .
This was stern reusing parts because FG wasn't selling at the time. Not quite the same.
Quoted from EvanDickson:Does Centaur / Centaur II and EBD / EBD LE count?
No, EBD LE and Centaur II are re-runs in a different cabinet to use up unsellable cabinets.
FH -> Tommy -> Tron
LOTR -> Sopranos
STTNG -> Batman Forever
Whirlwind -> JP
Quoted from boagman:That doesn't wash. The two machines might be mechanically twins, but everything had to be redone for Shrek due to color and artwork changes, insert changes, etc.
Do your own digging.
Shrek required an art change. It exists because fgy did not sell as expected.
Not the only time stern has done this. Dale jr, grand prix, and nascar. Grand prix since nascar wouldnt do well outside america.
Quoted from Haymaker:Everything I have heard/read was FG was selling well for Stern, but it was considered a little too risque for some places and Jack Guarnieri suggested a family friendly version and shrek was born
Just because you read bad info doesnt make it right. People forget that rgp was around long before pinside. It contains all sorts of information.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Based on a Gary Stern Expo speech, Shrek was born from Dreamworks contacting Stern and requesting a pin. Gary didn't believe it would sell well, so he didn't want to invest all the R&D of a full production. He suggested they reskin an existing layout and that's what they went with. I had never heard the Jack story about it, but I know Jack did influence Stern a few times. Monopoly Platinum, Elvis Gold and Black Spidey.
And from what I recall Grand Prix was made simultaneously with Nascar for Europe since Nascar means nothing to them. Had nothing to do with poor sales.
First off, reading is hard. Look at what I actually posted about nascar/grand prix.
Second of all what gary says in a speech means bubcus. The man is a self promoter. Id take an employees word over a speech made by the owner.
