Hi, I'm just sitting here watching some Stern tour videos (you have to do these things when you own no pinball) and seeing codenames. I've searched the forums and found that Stern seems to have a codename for each game. Does anyone have the complete list of announced games' codenames? (Please leave off unannounced games, i'm not trying to spoil them, the codenames are just funny once you know the game.)
So far:
Harold - Ghostbusters
Bill - Star Trek
Some I've read from thread searching:
Dinner Time - Walking Dead
Dudes - WWE
Biscuit - Mustang

Is Donut recent or old?
Donut= The Simpson's maybe? Could have been a code name when they originally made it. Don't think there is enough demand for a VE. Plenty come up for sale.

On the factory floor, they were pulling a lot of wire for those assemblies. My guess is its Star Wars....

Yes, it was confirmed as Star Wars. I think Ritchie referenced it in his talk at NWPAS.

When we visited Stern last month, they had a lot of different wire assemblies being pulled. The Ac/Dc ones they were working on just had big stickers labeled "AC/DC Pro" stuck on the corners of the schematics. Definitely a very busy factory when we were there...

Could Godzilla be a code name for something else? Or is this far enough along that we know that’s the actual title?

Stern acquired the Godzilla license, I think Dwight Sullivan has said they don't acquire licenses to NOT use them, and it would be strange to use the title of a machine you've built or are going to build as the code name for another machine. For that reason, it seems unlikely they'd use Godzilla as a code name. Similarly, it's also why I doubt a Jaws machine is coming because it was used as a code name for Jurassic Park.

Obviously I don't know anything for certain, but that's just my two cents.
