I'm in, only as long as they cost $15k+ and are limited.
I need my pinball-related status symbols to stay all status-y and whatnot.
Quoted from RGR:Pinball Circus remake...who's in?
Should be just about anybody who has always wanted a pin in their bathroom. No other game would fit.
Quoted from RGR:I loved the game when I played it... So much character..
I played it at the PHOF but it sure needed shopping. I managed to get to the top level, kind of neat The offset flippers caught me sleeping a time or two.
I'll pass.
Quoted from Fatsquatch:$20k would be better, but I think $30k is the sweet spot.
Only if I'm not allowed to put any demands on the quality of the build or be allowed to have an opinion on the extras.
Quoted from Rarehero:Depending on price I'd be interested.
Agreed and I am expecting that it will be $10k plus so I would really have to have some extensive game time to see if I would like it enough. I would like to have something similar to it though and mix up the collection.
The game is an interesting novelty as a unique prototype, but otherwise it's very linear in nature and would probably get boring quickly. Besides, there's virtually no chance it would ever be made. It was too expensive to produce then, and there isn't a fraction of the market that would buy it now.
I'll keep my money. I also played Pinball Circus at PHOF and thought it was an interesting design, but as an actual game I came away wanting more out of it. It was definitely unique but that's about as much credit as I can give it.
I'd buy it at 8k, although I doubt it could be made for that little. I played it at PHOF and loved it. Very unique...
Quoted from Rarehero:Depending on price I'd be interested.
I'll buy three or four plays on one for a buck apiece.
This game is like taking an expensive Ferrari doing some donuts, running it wide open around a road course and then crashing into a brick wall. It is dazzling to look at, a rush and fun at first, but that comes to an end really fast.
Quoted from RobT:Negative.
It's a mildly interesting novelty but that's about it.
This.

If it get's made, Python has indicated it will be much more than the current Pinball Circus that exists. It will be his full vision for the game. Much deeper than the current version too.
You should hear some of the features that were originally planned for it that didn't make it into the prototypes. 
At one time I had play field and parts to this game. With all the new stuff coming out and LCD screens, I think I would pass on this game unless it was 10k or less and low in production numbers
Why are all of the videos of this seem to be shot with an old VHS camcorder?
EDIT: That's actually not a bad video, easily the best quality I have seen.

There's nothing out there like Pinball Circus! WHEN it gets made (I'm an optimist and a dreamer maybe, but I have faith in Python!) I will consider buying one for location. I think kids would go crazy for it!

This page was your doing? Your my Hero I love this page its awesome. I couldn't believe it had the PBC too boot.
I put this in my favorites years ago. Thanks for making it.
Quoted from gweempose:I equate it to Champion Pub. It's fun for a few games until the novelty wears off.
Wait....I like Champion Pub!
*sob*
Purely a novelty due to it's extreme rarity.... pass.
Re: Champion Pub - I really like that game. Sure, it's got some novelty factor, but it's also a pretty good challenging game (to me at least). It's definitely not a 1-trick pony like Circus is...

I'd assume that when you own 65 machines "novelty" can become a good thing.
PS: Although, I like Champion Pub too. I think it's one of my favorite machines to play with friends.
