    Quoted from aingide:

    The closest outfit able to get close to hitting Stern's pricepoint seems to be Heighway with their swappable system. If a full game is somewhere around seven grand and additional playfields are 3 a piece, then you're at about the same price as a Stern Pro for two titles...but with Stern you get two games to put on route, so it's still not even that close.

    That's not how operators would benefit from Heighway games. For operators, the Heighway system allows them to swap games between locations easily. So location A has Full Throttle, location B has Alien.

    Swapping them takes barely longer than the drive from A to B. No need to pack up, truck out to van etc. Don't even need to cash out the coin box. Just pull playfield/translites and take it in the car.

    Off topic to the thread slightly, just wanted to clarify the innovations that HP has brought to the table
