Quoted from jfh:

I would *love* to see the same level of theme integration. But as much as I agree that Stern should put more into development, the reality is that Dwight isn’t anywhere near the type of passionate code designer/programmer that Lyman (or Keith at JJP) is. I don’t know if we will ever see another game from Stern with the level of theme integration in Batman 66 because it was special to Lyman and George and kind of a one off (anniversary showcase, SLE, etc.)
I don’t think Stern will give other teams the extra time needed to bring other games to that level. Maybe occasionally, but not every title.
Unfortunately my expectations on Stern game code have been lowered and the Munsters release further solidified them. Right now, if Lyman isn’t on it, it’s far more of a crap shoot then it should be. I hope that changes, but I’m not banking on it.

Quoted from iceman44:

The "already selling well" comment tells you all you need to know.
They sold the shit out of GB and almost 3 yrs later we are still waiting for a promised code update. Love that game too BUT....
I really like my Munsters pin as it is, it kicks my ass scoring wise like no other and its a solid F ing game.
That said, I've learned my lesson, yes finally, I will NEVER buy another Stern pinball machine unless Lyman Sheets is doing the code.
I don't care whatever the F they say or promise, that's it.
So you can send tons of email requests begging that Dwight and Stern makes Munsters better and deeper coded and i could care less if they ever do.
Bottom line, again, in the FUTURE, its only in "LYMAN WE TRUST".
So that means its possible that Elvira3 will be next for me. Makes it easy, Stern has done it to themselves.
