Don't forget the Capcom Red Line Fever concept game. Though way less finished, I am sure Greg Kmiec has some other info on it.
Quoted from LTG:Williams bought the rights to BBB and got two of them. It would have come out after Cactus Canyon. P2K changed things.
Williams disassembled one. Had a white wood with limited art work in a cabinet. Williams board set. I would imagine a mix of Williams mechs and Capcom on the playfield. Lyman did some work on it. No idea if it was ever powered up.
Mike Pacak bought them. Made the Williams one back into a Capcom one and sold them over the years.
Bare white wood is in a private collection.
LTG : )
That may have been the year or there after at Expo when they hosted the auctions Williams truck arrived . Two Big Bangs (I think) came off the truck along with proto Indianna Jones wired playfield proto and a slew of other cool items.
Quoted from Sinestro:Can someone shed some info on Williams working on BBB?
I've read this real excellent and extensive article of the history of BBB, and a potential Williams remake wasn't mentioned.

Thanks for posting this. Very good read.
Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:It’s the most Objectifying game I can think of, if that’s still mainstream cool in 202?, that I have my doubts about. This is possibly THE worst offender in sexism. It’s of ‘another era’. And it shows in ways that aren’t mainstream acceptable. It wouldn’t sell to a lot of homes and locations for that reason alone.
well I suggest you stay away from any late 70s early 80s Bally games. You know wizard , kiss, dolly parton, strikes and spares. Tight shirts and pants shorts ruled back then.

If its that bad of a game , why do you show it as being in your collection?
Quoted from Whysnow:honestly, too many to list.
Go search his post history. Lots of stuff about making this, that, or the other... all to turn out as false and just to try and convince people not to buy something.
Claims of remakes that years later are not on the horizon.
"Parts are getting made for game X"
Other stories that are not to be told publicly, but just ask the old timers at a show and they will tell you.
Love to hear / read about this.
Lets toss in Big Foot as well. Rick owns those rights and since Big Foot doesn't exist , hey no licesne?
Quoted from javagrind888:BBB and the newer Playboy machines are great and even my wife wants a Playboy, but we agreed it would be awkward to have family over for such tacky themes (and we own South Park). Should these machines be made? Absolutely. Will people complain because they are situational? Still a yes.
Back to the remakes, my wife and I are planning on buying a Theatre of Magic this summer. Should we hold off now that it's going to be remade? Will the value drop on the old one drastically when the new one comes out? Also, is it possible to get a player grade one for around $4500?
Go original!!!
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:If batteries can power a car with four passengers at over 100mph for hours at a time, can pinball machines running on rechargeable batteries be far off? At a date in the future, energy usage is highly regulated by deep state and human (citizens) are limited to drawing power during off-peak hours. Hence the need for a battery powered pinball machine that can be juiced in 30 minutes that then played for a week. Lookout future, here we come.
Kids will be dumbfounded by grandpa asking if a pin's 3 AAA batteries have been changed recently. All kids know about battery power is that pinball machine cabinets come with one big battery filling the bottom of the cabinet. One doesn't simply replace the 200 pound behemoth, rather it needs to be periodically recharged by plugging it into the grid. Sheesh, old timers suk.
It will be downloaded right into your mind ala wet wired. First game will be Johnny Mnemonic.
Quoted from irobot:good song
My username I, Robot comes from the fact that I was the biggest Atari I, Robot fan in the USA back in 1984.
I figure I was the biggest fan because I'm 6'-5" and because I'm the only person I ever met who dropped a lot of quarters into it.
I might have been the USA's best player at the time. If i remember correctly, I could get up to around the second shark attack wave.
Decades later, everyone decided it's an awesome game and a holy grail collector game and they go for $4000 ish now, which is big money in the arcade world.
Back then at Aladins Castle!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Do we think there is any reasonable possibility of Twilight Zone being remade?
Obviously the BOM would be high and it’s far more complex than the ones listed in the title of this thread so it would be behind all of them.
I think TZ commanded 3 separate licenses,.
