Quoted from yancy:

Metallik knows the score. If BBB was originally built in quantity it would be an average DMD title today. $3.5k?

I've played it plenty...It's campy and fun.

I'd put it at a similar value as Creech in today's market, if they had made them in quantity.

Both are relatively shallow, with Creech probably being slightly more "difficult" to get huge jackpots, as opposed to BBB's mode based play and getting to "Big Bang" wizard mode.

Both are very nice to look at. Both have "adult" themes, obviously with BBB slightly more so.

So yeah, I think CFTBL and BBB would be very close value wise today.

Quoted from awarner:

I owned a BBB. I made a documentary about the game and him and showed him in the positive light he deserved because of the challenges he defeated. I know so many positive and negative things about him that I think it's best that I don't say much more. I do know that I'll miss him and he made a difference in my life for sure.

Which documentary? Where can I view it? This is utterly fascinating to me. I knew of Gene and BBB, but wasn't into the "scene" then like I am now, and only hear bits and pieces of things from folks at shows, tournaments, etc.
