Quoted from dougram69:

Sorry. One correction to the post above. Didn’t mean to say Laughlin above. It wasn’t him. It was the ramps guy, Rick, who later sold to starship fantasy. Assuming this is the Rick at planetary but not sure. Gene just called him the ramps guy and at times Rick. Maybe someone could clear this up if it’s the same Rick.
Thanks

I have so many great memories from the Gene days He offered me some amazing , large deals that I did not take him up on. Don't even know today if it would of been worth the hassle. Some amazing games , at amazing prices. Geez I hassled with 40 foot containers, I probably should of bought some of his stuff for the memories. Getting into this in 1998 was great times. I have seen some amazing rare titles and have 2 whitewoods from this time. Should probably have 4 to 5 more. It's all good. Blessed to have a great collection and amazing memories and that is all that matters.

Quoted from Ballypinball:

Oh my god this is the biggest load of bullshit I have read, none of what you say is even close to true
I have all the contracts between IPB and Williams and what gene did and didn't buy, could and couldn't do
Williams never licensed James from Pinball Inc to make any Ramps
Gene had exclusive rights to make replacement parts for 5 Years then non exclusive after that, and never had any rights to make Bally Williams Games ever.

Yea, This is what I remember now.
