Already been made twice. It can easily happen again if there is money to be made and currently there is plenty of money to be made.

Quoted from wdpvideo:

I could see AFM for sure but not MB to much licensing issues/reinstatement. I think that game would cost too much money to be re-made. Especially by a pinball company (person) that doesn't really exist. Just because you hold a license for Williams doesn't mean your pinball manufacture. Nor does it mean that the licensing is still good. Plus, you're relying on everybody else to build your machines. Plus, they are going to take part of the pie. He will need to stick with generic titles. That don't have all the licensing issues. Like CCC, AFM and so on.

PPS has stated several times that they have the license to everything needed to remake MB.

I think it is likely to get remade if the license can be figured out. I've heard they don't have the license rights. Even if it is remade I would not be a buyer at 8K. It's a cool game and a fun game for a little bit. The art is great but the game play is OK at best. Most people buying a remake will be moving them in less then a year at a loss. I enjoyed owning one for a little bit but it's not close to worth the money.

Quoted from ovfdfireman:

It appears you are talking Monster Bash? (unless you mean BBB)
Monster Bash is the 4th highest rated game of all time, I think people know and have played the game over the last 20 years, and it wouldn't rate so high if it didn't have staying power. To say people will be liquidating them in a year at a loss is crazy talk. This is not a new game we are speculating about, but a tried and true game that everyone has already agreed is one of the best games ever made!

Not sure what you are talking about. I am talking about BBB which is what this thread is about. If the license can get figured out (I don't think Rick actually owns it based on what I've been told) it will certainly get remade. People will absolutely be selling them at a loss in a year. The gameplay is not going to be good enough to hold people attention and for it to be a keeper. Owning a BBB is cool, but it won't be as cool when there's 1000 of them and the game play just doesn't hold up.
