Hopkins, MN
Since there was talk of an original title at one time. I hope they do their own game next. Then back to the remakes.

Quoted from Edster:Should not be a huge deal just like the home code update for CV.
HaHa. Update Williams code. That's a big problem.
CV home code was done by Cameron back when. Don't know if he could have done it today.
Williams doesn't like people messing in their sandbox.

Quoted from Utesichiban:Here is hoping for an Alienr
I believe you can forget CGC ever doing Alien.
LTG : )
Quoted from Utesichiban:We'll somebody should.
I agree. Enough fans out there for the game. I'd like to see everybody that wants one, get one.
Just won't be CGC.
LTG : )
Quoted from Utesichiban:No offense but I hope it isn't JJP.
No idea what games JJP plans on doing. ( personally I doubt Alien )
Quoted from Utesichiban:I have an MMr and not only is the build quality great, pricing is reasonable and maintenance needs haver been low as well. That is why I'd like to see CGC do Alien.
Understood. It just ain't going to happen.

Quoted from Extraballz:Could it be Fish Tales? A lot of good examples coming up for sale all of a sudden. Has info leaked? Like insider trading. Start dumping them before the value possibly drops.
I'm surprised more Popeyes aren't being sold off. Imagine a game remade only as Python actually imagined it. Olive Oil kickback and everything.

Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:So what are you saying?
I'm saying CGC may eliminate visitors and tours. They have more important things to do than baby sit guests.
Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:It's true?
No idea what they are working on. I'm in Minnesota, they are 400 miles away. I can't look out the door and see what they are working on. Pinball or video games.
I found out about Monster Bash the same as everyone else, when it was announced here on Pinside. I hear rumors, same as everyone else. And hope for some and ignore some.
And I never ask any company what they are working on. That way, if it leaks, wasn't me. I didn't know.

Quoted from brainmegaphone:Purely from a support perspective what game would you prefer
Theatre Of Magic.
Quoted from brainmegaphone:(or dread?)

Disclaimer : I'd love a TOM for my line up again. Great earner. One of the prettiest games.
Quoted from LukyDuck:My question is...when does everyone expect them to announce their next title?
I would hope Pinball Expo.
Though after the Monster Bash delays, TPF to Expo. Maybe they will wait until they can start shipping ? So could be sooner. Could be later.

Disclaimer : I am getting excited. Something should be coming soon I hope.
Quoted from pinballaddicted:The original licences are now owned by Planetary Pinball.
That isn't right is it ?
Scientific Games owns Williams. Planetary Pinball licenses rights from them. Planetary doesn't own them.
Big difference. Planetary Pinball has to get the okay from Scientific on anything using Williams' stuff they do.

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:Will all these remakes drop the value of my games?
No guarantees.
My opinion is if you paid a fair price for a mint game, it won't drop, or keep appreciating in value if it is. If you over paid for a turd, yes your value will drop.
When MMR was announced, beater MM's were going over $10K, not any more.
LTG : )
Quoted from Warzard:Why do you think none of the remake has new code and we see only a new LCD with animations?
Their agreement with Williams doesn't let them mess with original code. Original code version comes up when you hit enter.
LCD animations, and other things are in the CGC programming. CGC code version is on first page of CGC menu.
LTG : )
Quoted from evh347:then this post by PPS was a little misleading, don’t you think?
No, because they might be able to address something in the CGC code.
Maybe over time and their relationship with Williams improves, who knows. Maybe at some point they maybe can do more.
Time will tell.

Quoted from Utesichiban:Then apparently they won't sell very many if they do a remake.
Very many. Compared to what ?
What ever they announce, when it's revealed with big display, speaker lights, amazing topper. Will sell well.
They've built a loyal following of people who like their games, the quality, different models, and support.
LTG : )
Quoted from LukyDuck:I just wish it would get announced so I can put a down payment down on another CGC!
I wish it would too. So I can start thinking ahead for tech support if the need arises. The originals could have had little nuances that may carry over to a remake. Especially over time.

Punchy The Clown. Alvin G. 103 units. - CGC remake - Priceless.
LTG : )
Quoted from Bublehead:what's up between you and Punchy
It's a long running gag.
Fred Young, who does many pinball voices. Was at a meeting at Alvin G to discuss the game Punchy the Clown. He was to present some sample voices for the game. As a joke he opened with that gosh awful hehehe I'm Punchy The Clown. Never meaning it to be used.
Of course the Alvin G people loved it and wanted it in the game.
The rest is history. I have blown Fred plenty of crap about it. Even calling him out at Expo with heheheh it's Fred Young. And he's appeared at some of my seminars to correct my imitating him doing Punchy.
Ya gotta love pinball.
Now that the secret is out, I shall have to adopt another title that I would like to see remade.
Perhaps Red Line Fever. Or maybe Zingy Bingy ?

With their quality and build. They will be just fine.

Ben Heckendorn. ( I think northvibe meant Ben Heck ) Works for Spooky. Americas Most Haunted and Rob Zombie's Spookshow International.
It was reported on Pinside awhile back that CGC, Ben, and Spooky had something going on.
LTG : )
Quoted from chad:If I recall on KMans podcast it was mentioned that Bens' game would be after the next CGC release ?
Only CGC knows for sure. Some remakes still in the works. And independent titles too.
This year is an exciting year for them. And next year will be even better.

No idea. I don't know if you like your game. I have no way of knowing if CC might get made as a remake.

Won't happen over night. You have plenty of time to find more room.
LTG : )
Quoted from Indusguys:I think CGC needs to start rethinking their strategy and ditch any remakes on their list.
CGC has been planning on independent titles for quite some time. See things like the Ben Heck/Spooky announcement on Pinside. And they are working on other pinball things.
LTG : )
Quoted from zaki:.it's a long shot they will be any good.
Williams hoped every pin would be an Addams. Not every pin after Addams was. Some times you don't know until they hit the street.
CGC makes video games and other games. And pinballs. Have a deal with Ben Heck and Spooky, hired a couple other known designers. Have something with another company. They have been at it for years. And many of their people love pinball, love what they are doing. And know what they are doing.
So I really think their first independent pin is going to make people step back, go holy frick, and grab a phone to get their order in.
And barring more COVID shut downs, I believe they are on their way to two titles a year.

CGC makes it's own cabinets and playfields.

LTG : )
Quoted from Pinballemporium:Did CGC buy out Churchill cabinets and that is where they reside/produce machines?
Churchill Cabinet Co. was owned by Doug Duba's Father. At some point He acquired it and it became Chicago Gaming Co.
Same building I believe.

Quoted from haveaniceswim:This is just my opinion so go ahead and blast me for it,
I would never blast you for your opinion.
The original plan was for 10 different remakes then reduced to six. I would imagine this is games they thought they could do, and sell.
So we have three to go, if they make more remakes.
They went to the work assembling a line to build pinball machines. Have trained people to do it. Got everything in cue to do it. So no reason to stop there. Dennis Nordman will finish his work for them. It was also posted on Pinside about the Ben Heck/Spooky game. And they have made other moves for a brilliant future. Butch Peel for their manuals for one thing.
So as much as we'd like to see more remakes. I believe their future definitely lies with exciting new games never seen or imagined before.

What if something comes up and they have to do a different title ? What if something comes up and they miss the announce date ?
I'm as anxious as anyone to get the game and start learning for tech support. Maybe as much as not more than those that are anxious for any news at all. I'm 400 miles away and can't open the door and see what is going on. I wish I knew. What. And When.
LTG : )
Quoted from transprtr4u:if at #LTG doesn't know the what where's and when,
I don't. I'm 400 miles away. From CGC and JJP. I can't look out the door and see what is piling up in parts and cabinets.
And I never ask. They likely won't say anyway. And if it leaks, wasn't me I didn't know.
On occasion I do hear a thing or two. Mostly ignore it. Until they announce. It don't exist. Look at Toy Story, three times we expected it. Three times a different game came out.
There are so many things that can happen. That factories have to shift gears and do something else.
For me. I do wish CGC #4 gets here soon. For my benefit. For my arcade and learning the game to help others.

Quoted from transprtr4u:but was game 4 supposed to be released before Covid happened
I don't think there has ever been an official release schedule.
At Expo 2019 rumor mill was full but MMR Royal was shown and it and the three kits for MMR went into production.
Then everything went to heck with shut downs and what not. I know there were days that there was only one or two people boxing up games to ship out.
It takes time to get rolling. And before an assembly line starts, you need to have all the parts on hand so you can keep going. That alone has to be a nightmare these days. And set up the assembly line, stage all the parts, and train people you need.
I know everyone is chomping at the bits for a new CGC game. CGC is too.

Quoted from punkin:You know what they say about arguing with.........
Yes. I should know better.

Quoted from robotron:NDA isnt worth the paper its written on
Depends on the size of the company and attorney.
Sure can get your ass fired.
LTG : )
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.

Disclaimer : Nothing is official until Chicago Gaming Company announces it. No matter what anyone else says. Things might be rumors, not true, or change before release.
Quoted from onemilemore:The leak has gotten people more excited
People will be way more excited when EFL is announced !
LTG : )
Quoted from ClassicHornet:I hope the Ducks resemble LTG’s avatar
Then they'd be geese.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : Still hoping for the PTC/EFL combo.
Quoted from thechakapakuni:So did Punchy The Cactus get announced yet?
No. We'll see EFL first.

Disclaimer : Nice GIF !
It's my new dream theme, that I hope soon sees the light of day. Soon.

Disclaimer : If you've been following along for around twenty years, my posts on RGP and Pinside, and my seminars. You may figure it out.
Disclaimer #2 : I did like this suggestion. "Electric Flight Lorchestra". Though it isn't correct.
Quoted from MrSanRamon:He hasn't posted to RGP since July 4, so at least he's slowing down there.
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.
LTG : )
Quoted from FlippyD:Perhaps even so much money that the complicated to make pinballs are taking a back seat.
No. Pinball is in the front seat.
Planning for the future takes time. And behind the scenes stuff won't be known until CGC is ready.
I know instant gratification is nice. Some things take time. Some things are well worth waiting for.

Quoted from transprtr4u:asked many times ... never answered!
The Shadow knows.

Disclaimer : Such a revelation could get me in big trouble. Now if people figure it out. Wasn't me.
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I can’t believe a what is EFL thread hasn’t been started yet
Or a go fund me thread.
Shades of the old what does LTG mean, so many years ago on RGP.

Quoted from altan:Just Announced: Chicago Gaming Company at SFGE
Chicago Gaming Company is proud to support Southern-Fried Gaming Expo, and will be sending Butch Peel and Ryan White to join everybody in Atlanta. Not only will Chicago Gaming have a booth at our event Butch and Ryan will do a panel on Friday afternoon discussing the company history and their games. Help us welcome Chicago Gaming to #SFGE2021
(from an SFGE email)
Well this could be some huge news.
Ryan with a microphone will be a lethal weapon. Wait for the mic drop.
LTG : )
Quoted from thechakapakuni:Here’s a start
Nice list. You got the EFL right. Sadly, the whole list doesn't contain one correct word.
LTG : )
Quoted from steve-o:Dang!!! And I had my $$$ on the Fire Launcher one….
I know how you feel. I had my $$$ on the Elvira one.
LTG : )
Quoted from ClassicHornet:EFL...something...something...Lloyd ?
Good guess. Unfortunately, no Lloyd in the name.
LTG : )
Quoted from golfingdad1:.anyone else ?
No.
I'm excited about what the manufacturers all have out now. And games coming in the future.
The next half year to a year is going to be some exciting times for pinball.
LTG : )
Quoted from golfingdad1:I'll say it , Shit or get off the pot.....
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Chicago Gaming wants to build the best pot they can. And sprinkle in a couple block busting surprises. And build and plan for the future. That takes time. It just can't be rushed off the commode and out the door.
I like many others would like the next pot now. It is what it is though. And I have faith the wait is worth it. I want a shot at the best darn pot on the market.
LTG : )
Quoted from DBP99:I would be really surprised if two guys going to SFGE don't have some big news.
I have no idea what will be said by Ryan or Butch at SFGE.
I do know they will say they are working hard to build the best games they can. Remakes and independent titles. Ask them what it takes.
And when the independent titles start. You know Butch will be making really great manuals for them.
LTG : )
Quoted from MooButt:I don’t know why people feel the need to try and defend them.
Because they deserve it.

Quoted from punkin:I have 3 new machines on order. Two Sterns and a Haggis.
Assuming Haggis Fathom. All three will be nice additions to your collection.
LTG : )
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:It’s been three years since their last release
The MMR Royal was rolling out a year and a half ago.
LTG : )
Quoted from Zablon:I wonder if they didn't have an unexpected change in direction after 2020.
Direction was probably in motion. 2020 really screwed things up. And some of the important parts maybe didn't present themselves until late in 2020 or this year.
Like Butch. As good as his manuals are. I doubt anyone thought he'd become available.
LTG : )
Quoted from Concretehardt:Good point I was just reading Ricks post above, I don’t know the difference between having access to source code and having permission to alter the code is.
And as their relationship with Scientific Games goes on. Maybe at some point more can be done. With CGC code, or Williams code ?
The LCD, bigger display, RGB lighting, AFM topper motor. All in the CGC stuff. So it will be interesting to see what evolves on any future remakes.
I assume the sky is the limit on their independent titles.
Great times coming up.

Quoted from NoQuarters:What's going on ?
A lot.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Is it going to happen ?
Something is.
Tomorrow the CGC seminar at SFGE may fill in at least what has been going on.
LTG : )
Quoted from Concretehardt:What time is the seminar?
According to the Schedule. Friday 7pm their time.
LTG : )
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:Ok! Will we be able to watch it or hear it somehow live or after the fact?
I'm sorry I don't know. You'd have to ask on the SFGE thread. I don't recall seeing anything posted about streaming or recording. So I've posted asking anybody lucky enough to go to please post a few pictures and updates.
I'm as anxious as anybody to hear any news.
LTG : )
Quoted from pinballonthemark:Anybody know if any of the presentations are getting streamed at Southern Fried Gaming Expo?
I haven't seen anything on Pinside or their website.
LTG : )
Quoted from Mr68:Bally/Williams license approval via Planetary Pinball.
Probably Scientific Games too.
Since they and PPS are in the same state. May help.
LTG : )
Quoted from john17a:I saw on facebook this remake hasnt the code update that we all believed it needed has anyone got a better idea if that's correct
See post #18 on this thread - he was there.

LTG : )
Quoted from DS_Nadine:I'll never get why they full stop production inbetween titles
Set up the assembly line again. Get all the parts sourced to build your games. Make some sample games to be sure things are right. Hire and train assembly line people.
And a year and a half ago lets through in Covid and raw material and parts shortages.
A huge company like a car manufacturer might have an easier time to keep things rolling. Small companies that build pinball machines don't have that luxury.
I would imagine CGC is doing the best they can. Besides planning and getting ready for the future so they can do more.
LTG : )
Quoted from Flowst:Lloyd,
If you get CGC to run Big Bang Bar, I promise I will come visit you this football season when I land in Mini-soda!Jim
What do I need two of them here for ?
Sorry, I have no idea or their plans for BBB at this point. And since I'm not at CGC bugging them everyday, I don't think they'd listen to me anyway.

Quoted from RA77:Ok so CGC # 5
What do you crazy pinheads out there think ?
PTC or EFL ! One or the other. Don't need both.
LTG : )
Quoted from RA77:Any more clues please ?
Mostly on RGP. I posted it at least 14 times.
Usually around Christmas.
LTG : )
Quoted from ClassicHornet:2 more remakes to come yet
Nobody knows for sure. How many remakes ? What's next ? Could be a non remake game.
We'll know when it's announced. I just hope if it's remake or new title, that it's another great CGC game !

Quoted from Paukieboy:Anyone want an addams family remake?!?!
A lot of people apparently.
Licensing would likely kill it.
