    Quoted from fumbleflippers:

    Three pages so far and nobody has mentioned how Python sunk Capcom? F'n Zingy Bingy....what the hell was he on? Did he intentionaly submarine the company or was it just some JPOP level hubris?

    Wow i've never seen that before. What was the story?

    Quoted from coz6:

    A large portion of this has to be the suicide portion - think about the maintenance required for the ROI - While pinballs are easy to maintain once you get used to it, heck I can't even have a party with out having something go wrong and thats a home environment with 6 games.

    I've often wondered if a company started making lower priced titles that are simpler (think system 11 type level) with modern hardware and advances could they make something that's desirable and lower maintenance?

    Quoted from vid1900:

    That is why you have to love Python.
    If the game would have been called Butt Pirate, it would have been a huge hit.

    One of the suggested names is simply "Fuck Off"
