Cactus Canyon (Remake - Special Edition)
Chicago Gaming Co., 2021Quoted from Litedpinballmods:PDI glass is an etched product, all other products are sprayed coatings. All of the sprayed coatings will fad over time. PDI costs the most, but it is the best.
Whatever. What’s the fade timeline? 10 years? 20? I’ll be planted by then. I’ll enjoy my two for one pricing. Thank you.
Cactus Canyon LE is a fantastic game. Very happy with my purchase. These games definitely point out the lack of creativity in recent titles. And here is another thing to appreciate. The topper shipped with the game. Yes the game is complete at the time of unboxing. So sick and tired of waiting a year or longer to complete my Stern LE’s. CCRLE is bolted to the floor. This non licensed theme has so much personality it puts big box office licensed titles to shame. Great game can’t wait to see what the Lyman code will do to enhance this already great game.
Quoted from dog:Bring on the wait for TOTAN
Is TOTAN in the works or is that just a wishlist item?

CCRLE is bolted to the floor. This non licensed theme has so much personality it puts big box office licensed titles to shame.
And the topper is actually part of the game, not just a money grabbing afterthought.
Agree 100% with the personality comment. I’m not quite sure what it is, but CCr just has it. Classic and timeless themes may not have the sizzle of the latest licensed title but they have the most staying power. Godzilla is the only recent Stern game that comes close but if I had to pick one, I’d still take CCrLE.
Quoted from Only_Pinball:I also agree. It's the personality of the 90's WMS pins that make them timeless.
Yup!
Quoted from LTG:Wishlist.

That's good. I couldn’t get wife approval on a second NIB game and I’d die from not getting it.
It’s back to project EMs for me.
As soon as I break my addiction to my CCR.

If done ... years waiting ...
Wife will have forgotten by then ...

If CGC does end up doing another remake it probably wouldn't be for a few years. They are supposedly doing a small run of MMR SE after the CCR and then supposedly doing a machine of their own. I hear rumors of Pulp Fiction theme.

To anyone that wants a knocker cable made, I got enough materials to make 9 of them. Send a PM if you already haven't.
I'll have to tally everything up for a cost. Should only be about $5 to ship anywhere in the US.

Haha, they may surprise us!
Two games off the line per year Ryan was hoping last October.
Maybe things will change after all the shortages.

The real question is, any updates on when your game will be able to finally ship?

To make sure pinside gets their cut, I put the knocker harness for sale in the pinside shop.

5 packages will be out the door this week. Will get around to making more of them next weekend.
Where is updates from pinsiders who’ve gotten games ♂️ which distributors are next to receive shipment. No videos yet of topper mini game, any issues ect. What’s up

They must be too busy playing them, I guess.

The only people that know what distro is next are the management dudes at CGC. Call your distributor yourself to find out when they are expecting the shipment as they should know. Mine does 
If folks have issues this is typically the first place they complain about it so I guess there are no big issues so far. For the topper minigame it's already on Youtube. Been there for months. The mode is hard to get to, lasts only a few seconds, and not everybody has streaming rigs setup. My guess is that it's likely difficult to get on video.
The topper mini game is ok, but nothing to get real excited about. To access you shoot the beer mug 10 times and the second time at 30 mug hits. These values are both adjustable in the settings. Mode is call shootout. Once activated, the playfield goes dark and the screen says shootout. The topper is activated.
Use the flippers to move the LED right and left to highlight a window a bad guy is in. Haven't beat it yet, gotten 5-6 bad guys. Once done the playfield lights up and the ball kicks back out, really without warning.
here's the flip-n-out video of the topper.

What new info would you like?
The topper is already known and understood. https://www.knapparcade.org/post/detailed-pictures-video-of-the-cgc-cactus-canyon-remake-topper
Until someone like Butch at CGC tells us the real skinny on changes next year at some show.. you're unlikely to see deltas.
Yes seem that topper
Video from flipping
Out. Figured a few pinsiders with phones would get more video no need to stream. Very easy to do.

There is no public master list of which distributors will get which batches when. See more in the FAQ.
Quoted from flynnibus:What new info would you like?

Good point. Not sure what else there is to know.
The Knapp article is just my pics and video from TPF originally posted here and in the FAQ.
Butch has some additional detail on the topper in his presentation (also in the FAQ).

How is it easy to hold the phone and play the mini game? I'd like to see a video of this.

Without a professional setup, very hard. Even when you know it’s coming.

This is probably not going to go over well, but I'll say it. The topper mini game looks pretty blah.....
The topper itself is well done and looks great. Just the fact that Bart moves and is interactive is pretty awesome, but I see the mini game getting old quite fast.

I dont think that's the point.
I think the point is, that it's interactive at all, and integrated into the existing code.
Everyone has expensive static displays. I can throw an old shoe box on top of a game and probably sell it....
This makes it somewhat ground breaking.

I don't disagree with anything you've said here. My point was, that to me, it doesn't look very fun. Especially over a longer period of ownership. I think many people will tire of it once the newness wears off. That said, I've been wrong about many many many things before. 
I like the interaction the topper provides during the game, but the mini game itself is more of a rude interruption in the flow.
Quoted from chillme:I like the interaction the topper provides during the game, but the mini game itself is more of a rude interruption in the flow.
Well, the interruption isn’t any worse than a 90’s video mode.
I agree that the topper may get old but I’d still rather have it than not. It’s not like the current topper mode runs all that often but it does add character to the game.

So you're implying that the Lyman code will have more topper integration?
Quoted from Hayfarmer:So you're implying that the Lyman code will have much more topper integration?
Poor choice of words on my part. While I hope the upgrade will add code for the topper I have no such knowledge.
Quoted from chillme:How is it easy to hold the phone and play the mini game? I'd like to see a video of this.
It’s called another person holds the phone wow

***removed snarky comment because it's unnecessary to inflame situations.***
Edit for clarification - I would totally take the video and be happy to provide more content to the community, but I've have zero time to even enjoy a game at this point. Maybe others are in a different boat. Between work and the holidays, life is just a bit more demanding right now.

You've already been told the topper mini-game is already on youtube and you say you've seen it. How many videos of the same thing do you need to see?? I don't get the request. YOU should film it when you get your game...
Then show us what you meant.
Meh...I took vid of the topper mode and it sucked. It really didn't help. The video posted above is much better than what I did with the phone. I think a separate gun to use during the mode to shoot at the topper would be more fun. (I'm half kidding)
You guys are pretty obtuse. Moonraker isn’t in left field here. The games that recently shipped are production units not prototypes and we’ve been told Ryan made sure to rework whatever parts were LE specific to ensure quality and performance. Maybe video of the full end user topper play isn’t such a crazy request.

I honestly would if I had the time and resources. I just don't at this time. Maybe someone else can help out, or if I find time and can figure out a recording device later tonight I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks yeah just figured it would be a thing people would want to do to check all is well with revision and show coolness no biggie

Yes, they will technically be different since the existing videos show the 3D printed prototype arms. But there isn’t going to be any substantive difference and I doubt most people would notice the change. The code driving the topper hasn’t changed so the action during game play won’t either. And I doubt we would be able to see any changes made for performance since those are almost certainly not visible.
If we had video of the topper in action with the original (too long) production arms, I’d agree with you. If an LE owner wants to take video of the topper it will be appreciated by many. But we’re not likely to learn anything new.
