Williams, 1993Quoted from whthrs166:This is what keeps me interested for CC. I am expecting a cool topper for CCr but what they did with the code may set a new president for future remake games and may ad a new level of interest.
Perhaps! That would be cool for sure. If they did that I wonder if they would offer diff code options for the previous remakes? Not sure they need it as they are so good already, but Iām sure some players would like that.
Quoted from john17a:release 2 games at the same time ,,, strange marketing strategy
I could be wrong (I often am) but my sense is that most NIB pinball buyers will either pick one (they can only afford one and may have to sell games to even afford it) or they will buy both (because they buy everything). So I see the strategy as neutral at best. The real path to profits, in my view, is having the games ready to ship versus taking pre-orders and fulfilling later.
I don't know what % of business is operators versus home users so I'm not sure how many operators would have issues or struggle to buy 2 new CGC games at the same time but my sense with all the new Stern games coming out is that this would not impact operator sales since I'm guessing major operators buy many new games each year.
Lastly - if the games are very different themes then it really makes sense. Some people may want a remake of X while others may be interested in a remake of Y or an original title etc.
If the market starts flooding with new games it may open up opportunities for second hand games of all types to come onto the market as well and maybe we will get *some* relief from the inflated prices as the people need to sell to raise cash for the latest and greatest.
Quoted from jokerpoker:If Kās post is true he needs his arse kicked again for leaking shit heās not supposed to. Some people never learn.
If I was CG, I'd find out the leak and plug that shit up. All that hard work to have a twat give it away.

If it's two remakes (and if), I would imagine they will have no trouble selling all of them. It will give us all an easier chance to get one and not pay over the list price. If it's only one, then oh crap, here comes the "market adjustments"!
I personally just don't see a flooding of new games coming. We know Stern puts out (approximately) 3-4 per year, JJP puts out 1'ish, AP less than 1 a year and Spooky just did 2 (or one depending on your view) and it's sold out. Having two remakes that are vintage shouldn't flood the market. It's like Ford, Dodge and GM repackaging the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro (but in today's technology).
Just thinking out loud.....

AS a buyer of any new pin that interest me, I think you are off a bit. I had never heard of Ultraman in my life and zero interest in it. Halloween yes sir scared the crap out of me and my buddy, still remember Al closing his eyes so he would not cry during the movie.
So there was ZERO chance of me buying both Halloween and Ultra, CC and Toy Story CE yes both are coming my way.
Quoted from Methos:If I was CG, I'd find out the leak and plug that shit up. All that hard work to have a twat give it away.
Who's the twat? K-man or the mole?
Quoted from Hammerhead:Who's the twat? K-man or the mole?
Yes
Quoted from Nepi23:they really need to make the topper available for OG CC owners as well!
Any toppers CGC make, won't work on original games. Original games don't have the CGC software.
And so far except for Medieval Madness, toppers aren't available separately. The Medieval Madness topper, big display/speaker lights, RGB lighting, was made available so the Medieval Madness Remakes would look similar sitting next to Attack From Mars Remake and Monster Bash Remake games that have the big display, speaker lights, and toppers.
CGC cared about their first customers of MMR and didn't want them left out if they wanted to upgrade their game.

Counterpoint: The leak has gotten people more excited about a pin everyone knows has been on the way. So maybe not a terrible thing for CGC.
Quoted from onemilemore:The leak has gotten people more excited
People will be way more excited when EFL is announced !

I love how they did that. Making sure to take care the of previous customers. Great business strategy. Thatās why my whole collection so far has turned into CGC pins and will continue that way. It just works for me. Some of the best classic games getting remade with a new flair. It is perfection for me.
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:love how they did that.
Yes, the topper wonāt work as designed, but that doesn't mean it wont work.
Shooting DUCKs on the topper will be cool, like a shooting gallery. I hope the Ducks resemble LTGās avatar 
Quoted from ClassicHornet:I hope the Ducks resemble LTGās avatar
Then they'd be geese.

Disclaimer : Still hoping for the PTC/EFL combo.
So potentially, there is a gun on one side or other that you would use to do this....Shooting gallery NEEDS a gun not just flipper this flipper that, right ?
Quoted from whthrs166:Ok so now I am hearing release of CCr at the end of this month. I guess we will seeā¦
Perhaps... maybe at Pinfest this Friday July 30th!?
If not hopefully at the Pinball Expo in October.

Quoted from LTG:EFL long before then.
Fingers crossed for the dual PTC/EFL release ...
Heard you soured on PTC ... ?
Quoted from pinballaddicted:I think you may see something at the end of this month!
end of month is coming up.....
Quoted from northvibe:end of month is coming up.....
Lets see what happens... and I certainly hope so.
I think I am wrong on this one.

Haven't you figured out that pinball space-time is different than normal space-time?
Quoted from Zablon:Haven't you figured out that pinball space-time is different than normal space-time?
Yes- any time period or specific point in time acts like an event horizon on a black hole in pin-space... the closer you get to it, the more time it takes to actually reach the destination... like any update from CGC or promise of an update from deeproot, or the delivery of your NIB pin.
Iāve never cared too much for CC. Itās fun but it doesnāt create that one more game feeling. If they make it better, I could quickly become a fan. I like TOM, TOTAN and CV for their ball interaction, good use of magnets and beautiful designs. But all suffer from shallow software. When either is produced and it receives the big screen treatment, improved game code, and maybe even enhanced graphics and it has to have an interactive topper - Iād be a buyer.. CGC has a license to print money and a treasure map of āgolden products.
Quoted from thechakapakuni:So did Punchy The Cactus get announced yet?
No. We'll see EFL first.

Nail on the head post, 41 pages of threads are all irrelevant and Iāve read every post. these 3 games without doubt should be remade. Anything more than that is a bonus, b/w classics are what true pinball is about

Never took LTG as a baller for the English Football League... but I guess you just don't know about some people

You're done almost 42,000 posts and started almost 1,000 topics.
While I like to read... I believe that "EFL" will be built prior to me finding out what you mean by reading your posts!

Actually likely more then 100k posts with RGP. Good luck with your search lol.

No more PTC clown bullshit or EOL or what ever that is. b/w classics are what true pinball is about
It's still TZ. Why are we talking about this any longer?
Quoted from Yelobird:Actually likely more then 100k posts with RGP.
He hasn't posted to RGP since July 4, so at least he's slowing down there. And I did a search...no conversations with "EFL" on RGP.

My day is noon to midnight. A lot of RGP posters start 3 or 4 hours earlier. And RGP has slowed down. So less for me to participate in there.
Quoted from MrSanRamon:And I did a search...no conversations with "EFL" on RGP.
Strange. I just did a quick search and got 14 hits. Without digging. Of course I knew what I was searching for.

I forgot where I read, but someone said the spoke to someone at CGC and it could be 1-2 months....however we've heard that for a bit. I would rather they take their time to get it right, but man I love seeing new news!
