Quoted from jawjaw:

This may be a dumb question but how do they develop remakes? Is there design specs or do they get a sample pin and reverse engineer it? If they have to get an original pin that might make it difficult for really rare pins. Kingpin sounds like a really cool pin but isn't there like less than 10 of them out there?

Quoted from whthrs166:

In 23 years anything can happen to any machine or company for that matter. It sounds like we will all be on fusion power generation by then....

Quoted from herg:

Flux capacitance wasn't the power source, though. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to steal plutonium from the Libyans. I'm waiting for my Mr. Fusion to ship.

Quoted from FarFromHeaven26:

JPOP haters do tend to swarm unconditionally when suggestions are made to re-make games the maligned designer created in the glory days, but it remains likely that his three big aesthetic gems from the 90's are being seriously considered by CGC in their promise to add six or seven titles to the re visitation series launched by buffo re-creations of MM and AFM. If the 7K to 9K price range posed as a prime consideration for Rick and company to proceed, and the Top 25 to Top 30 of pinside rankings are factored in, JPOP's three biggies are surely posed for resurrection. We can all guess as to what the order could/should look like, and at age 63 I hope I'll still around to see it all happen, but here is a slight revision of what I posted on another thread:
1. Monster Bash (announcement will be made on this title any day now and the speculation is it will be spectacular)
2. Cactus Canyon (based on commentary and seeming order likelihood; re-coded to boot) March 2019 announcement.
3. Big Bang Bar (A collector's dream, a seeming no-brainer and destined to be big in the homes) 2020 announcement
4. Theatre of Magic (has been officially named by Rick as highly likely, so looking to hear it announced in March 2021.
Then we assume things get tricky.....
There would seem to be great interest among collectors for THESE machines all of which fall within the re-make parameters:
Cirqus Voltaire
Tales of the Arabian Nights
t
White Water
The Addams Family
The Twilight Zone
Indiana Jones
Creature from the Black Lagoon (yes it is fast approaching the price point at least in excellent condition)
This is all in a fantasy realm but conceivably could come to pass if not quite as precisely.

Quoted from Durzel:

What's the likelihood of seeing a TAF remake?
Seems to me it would make money hand over fist, the residual values are very high (if not appreciating) and it's a theme pretty much everyone has an affinity for.
I realise FarSight had issues with licensing Christopher Lloyd and the actor who played Pugsley, but apparently that was money related rather than a flat no.
Wouldn't they easily sell thousands of TAF remakes?
