yep, i want stern to stop doing licenses and do some originals...even design them with home users in mind, as i'm sure 40/50/60% of the market goes into homes these days....or ends up there anyway!!

Give a current pinball designer a carte blanche and I reckon they would come up with an absolute stonker of a game!! The design and art teams must be pissed off with doing stupid submissions to the licensors. I used to have to do it ,and it's soul destroying having correct all their picky changes!! plus it adds months onto the production of the machine because you have to wait for all the signoff on everything!!
