Hi all,
Wife is a big fan of the Phantom of the Opera play, has asked about the machine, I know it's not a great candidate for a small collection, and is more of a looker. But as we watched the play this weekend (Andrew Lloyd Webber has been releasing a different show on YouTube each Friday where it's up for 48 hours, and this was quite a good production of it on an anniversary in London) I wondered how this pin got made at all?

It doesn't seem to align with the theme of so many other pins from that era, it's based on a musical drama! Figured there had to be a story on how and why this pin got made, and I'd like to hear it. Anyone?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Pretty sure this game has nothing to do with the musical, it's a public domain "license" (free) based on the book.
I think your wife would be disappointed as it has no ALW music and it's also an awful game. And it's built poorly to boot (those old DE cabinets are painfully shitty).

Understood,
And am not saying I want it, I'm just confused as to the company's thinking that anyone would want this, seems a very odd license to try to sell a pin?
