Quoted from jrawlinson_2000:8k? Interesting ... but how is that possible if Williams said their game cost 12k to make? Unless that 12k figure was terribly inflated...
I have no doubt the prototypes cost $12K each. Build two of anything and the cost is incredibly high.
Back then, PC was going to cost the distributors $1000 more than a standard pin, which would put the retail price somewhere in the $4000-4500 range. Anyone know how much distributors were paying for pins in the 90's?
$12K in parts? Not likely, IMHO.
