Quoted from Fytr:

The game would feel a lot different with the modern Stern flipper mechs, etc., but if it brought the cost to produce down would it matter?

It would definitely matter. I love classic games! I'm in a classic pinball league, and I love playing them. I also love modern games.

I'd be tempted to buy a 4K Stargazer that was new in box. But I think my practical side might win. I have been buying classic games for years, and they have been pretty cheap compared to my modern games. That 4K will buy a lot of great games, even now.

So really, I'm not sure the value is there. At 6k the market is very small. And at 3k, it might be more games than they want to make. So here is my solution:

Jody, sell me the rights to make them. I'll pay you a license fee, you hook me up with a playfield manufacturer, and I build these games at a "reasonable" price. I'm offering this off the cuff, as obviously I have not run the real numbers. However between full Alltek boardsets bought in bulk, and CPR in bulk doing plastics and maybe playfield for me directly, we might be able to swing this. Let's chat and figure out how much I need to put into it to be your custom classics house.
