That site has been up for 3 or 4 years. They took deposits, and most demanded their deposits back. That re-release will happen when Crocodile Hunter comes out. Which is never.

You get the idea. Another year gone with not one word of progress, one picture of anything produced or even started, or one shred of hope that this thing ever happens.

What do you care how much a game you have rated at a 2.82 sells for? You clearly don't ever want one.

You cannot defend MM at 2.82 when you have AFM at 9.85. They are the two most similar machines in the A-List. I am just busting balls, but it is indefensible, in my opinion.

So not true. Almost the same game. Same shots, configuration, general ruleset (MM is deeper), and central shot setup.

I owned both and they sat side-by-side for 2 months before I decided that the shots and gameplay were so spot on to each other, I couldn't justify keeping both. The loops and ramps are the same. Yes, the castle is an inch offset to the left. The Multiball shot it the same. The Merlin saucer and the SOL hole are almost in identical places. The catapult, Merlin targets and troll targets are almost spot on to the Martin targets on AFM. They are so similar that it is silly, honestly.

Offsides. KwiKimart. 5 yard penalty. Repeat 1st Down.

I enjoy your posts. I enjoyed your screaming F-bomb above, too. I just don't enjoy your ratings.

Why has SkitB been able to get 10X farther in the completion of a pinball machine in one year, from their garage, than Wayne has on getting MM even started in 7 years?

Ha! Gene caught lightning in a bottle with BBB. That nearly bankrupted IPB, and he had to source nearly all the work to others, that aren't about to do that for him again. Gene talks big. He did deliver BBb eventually, so he has skins on the wall. But do not hold your breath on ever seeing anything else produced from IPB. That includes PFs.

Gene has lots of old PFs for sale. He is not producing new ones, and despite what he says now, there are many issues that will have to clear up before he runs any more. And he has been taking names for Kingpin orders for years. Now he is telling people he might look at doing MM, CC or Wizard Blocks, instead. All 4 machines are pipe dreams.

Put your name on the list. It is a fun game. Incomplete, but fun. If he is making any of the 4, it will be Kingpin. Gene flat out does not have the rights to MM. Wayne still has them, and Planetary explicitly admitted as much. Gene has a ton invested in breaking through the coding of the Capcom boards for Kingpin, already. Who knows if he has progress enough to produce new boards, but he is definitely still collecting names. He needs 150.
