I am curious about the last sentence here, do you think skis and bikes haven’t changed or advanced in the last 25 years?

Geometry on mountain bikes has changed quite a bit ( not even close to what they were 25 years ago) Dropper seats are fairly new .Internal cable routing. Disc brakes .Also most companies have went to just one gear in the front, which might seem like taking away, but I like it. No one needs 21 speeds on a mountain bike.

In pins, controlled color changing leds was a great advance . If done right a programmer can use different colors to guide the player(show what to shoot for) or change the mood of the game.
What I see as lacking in some games is how the game communicates with a player. If you as a player can't figure out what's going on after about 10 games the game isn't doing a good job of showing what you you need to do.
As for what I'd like to see, I just want great playing games with straight forward rules that make you want to keep hitting the start button.

4 of the bumpers(in the corners ) are dead bumpers. They don’t pop they just register a hit. They have no ring and rod assemblies.

I’d be interested in a routed Medieval madness if the price is right.

Did you happen to zoom in on the bottom side of the playfield that could be seen in the picture showing the inside of the cabinet? It looks as though a lot of the hard work was skipped, Rusty parts, and corrosion. If a complete restoration was done the bottom side of playfield should look great as well. I hate to critique some one else's work but for the asking price I would expect a full teardown of both top and bottom side of the playfield and rusty parts should have been tumbled or replaced.

MM has always commanded more money on the secondary market than AFM. Seems as though the remakes are just following that same trend.

If I remember correctly several years ago John took all ( or nearly all) his games to the Pinball Expo. That was pretty awesome.

Does this mean that this game sold for $450 plus fees? If so I would have bought it. Those games that have two sets of flippers can really mess with your brain and can be a ton of fun to play. Not saying it was a great price( because I’m not sure) just saying I would have bought at that price. Thanks for sharing pics!

Yep my friends and I enjoy games like this for dollar games.

Did you buy the Sunshine? That game looks like it would be really fun.

Yeah, I think I might have tried to work out some kind of deal to acquire it from you( had you bought it). It looks like the perfect game to play dollar games with friends.

If you ever find yourself in my area and want to stop over and play a few games hit me up.

That No Fear looks real nice!

Ouch! A 10k Congo?! You may want to reconsider before you get in too deep.

I didn’t mean to question your knowledge on the current market, but apparently I did. I know you move a lot of games. Good luck with your project.
