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.

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 : )

Fascinating.

Quoted from Yoski:

I asked Gary Stern if he will remake some classics (Quicksilver, Seawitch, etc.). He said, too many drop targets, too expensive to manufacture, not going to happen.

Drop targets cost more than ramps, subways, LCD screens, RGB LED lights, magnets, and mechanical toys?

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.

All the more reason it's desirable.

Sorry, if that offends your modern sensibilities. No, on 2nd thought, I'm not sorry.

Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:

A 1 off Capcom? Don’t count on it, goober.

It's not just any Capcom, goober.

Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:

It’s not MM, AFM or MB, either. It’s a good game with a lot of hype. If there were 200 MM, the hype would be real. BBB is no MM. anyway. Have a great day, guys! Good luck with that BBBr

MM is the most overrated pin there is.

#337 6 years ago
Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:

Excuse me, are YOU so obtuse to then want to buy a game that openly harasses women in a workplace environment? Are you deranged?
This is getting rediculous. This woman/man is exactly why this game won’t be remade. There are victims!

We got us a hipster/Millennial here!

She could just be in a skin tight body suit. No nipples on the toy or the artwork.

In other words.....nothing to worry about.

Surprise! They are remaking Popeye Saves the Earth.

Quoted from pezpunk:

Wow anything that’s not overtly sexist is a product of political correctness? That’s an incredibly misogynistic point of view.
I guess there will always be a segment of this hobby intent on being stuck in the past, no matter how ugly.

IIRC, Gene got temporary rights to build and sell BBB when he bought the surplus parts from Capcom. Those rights have since reverted back to Capcom, and I assume they'd license them again....for the right price.

#603 6 years ago
Quoted from Aurich:

The story I heard, from a good source but grain of salt, is that Gene had a handshake deal at most, and no one from Capcom gave a crap really. I think the fact that he had existing parts helped too, but I dunno if that's really relevant.

That's sounds about right.

So, after reading all the posts in the thread...I think the title should be changed to "Lots More Speculation".

Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:

The great white male isn’t the only demo in pinball these days. I don’t know what it’s like in France, but sex and harassment in the workplace are sore topics in the USA these days. And so is exploitation of women, prostitution, alien trafficking. Lol. It’s a hot little title, that’s for sure. But how many rooms are going to want to hear these kinds of call outs all day? Lol. I’m shutting up before I get banned,

****ROLLS EYES****

So only white men like sexy themes? I can assure you that's not the case.

Also, this theme has nothing to do with workplace harassment. It's about picking up in a bar.

#818 6 years ago
Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:

Not just any Bar. I dont get any impression that the women at the bar are there for leisure. They are waitressing, stripping, ‘getting lucky’ .
It reminds of a bar I once went to in Bangkok. The Hairy Clam on Sumkumvit , but that’s another thread.
With some small change up in code/dmd/call out who knows...

And? Who cares?

#823 6 years ago
Quoted from Aurich:

So glad this thread is titled "no more speculation"

Yup. Like I posted earlier, it should be changed to "Lots more speculation!"

Quoted from drsfmd:

It will take a miracle to get a TAF remake. Raul Julia’s family won’t license his image. No Gomez, no TAF...

Patently false. Gomez's estate will license out his image for preexisting projects.
