So who were the guys that actualy built the BBB games ? Remember they went under the name - Bear cave or something like that ? I'd like to here their story ! I think they got burned in the end ?

So after Capcom went out of business two guys from Michigan got their hands on a stack of BBB backglass translights . Because they were from a game that would never be any more made , they were just a novelty . They were selling them off one at a time on ebay ! I thought one would make a great momento of a game I would never see . I put in a bid of $100. but won the bid at $35. I ended up building a false backbox and added Christmas tree lights to light it . So when Gene's dream to remake BBB came true I think he had to make a deal to buy them all back to make his game . I'd like to know the rest of that story .
