    Quoted from hank527:

    What would be the craziest design idea you pushed but got cut do to cost?

    i think this would be an interesting question for all of them.

    Quoted from PopBumperPete:

    Given that your greatest, most innovative , games were from your earlier days, don't you think younger designers need to be brought into pinball?

    Hmmm.. im not sure if the lack of design innovation is more about designers getting older or more the fact that at the end of the day, pinball is pinball and it must be pretty difficult to come up with new , truly innovative designs, young or old. Im talking about true design, not just new screens, toys etc. It must be very difficult to keep coming up with new ways to reinvent the wheel so to speak.

    Quoted from PopBumperPete:

    Take a look at SR early games most of them are highly prized by the hobbiests , each one brought something new, but none needed useless toys

    I agree. I have 2 of them. SR is amazing ! Just saying that it must be hard to come up with new ideas after all the years of pinball designing that has gone on. Again, im talking about pure design, not toys and new tech but i do agree with you that some new young blood may very well help but just not sure by how much.

    Quoted from Eskaybee:

    Question for all of them: If you were 25 again; would you pursue a career in pinball again?

    They have done well and they all seem to truly love the hobby. Im sure it would be all yes across the board.

    Quoted from PopBumperPete:

    Quoted from DanQverymuch:

    Do you design playfields with rules in mind, or do you leave all that up to the programmers

    Im thinking popbumperpetes thoughts

    Quoted from DanQverymuch:

    just concentrate on satisfying shots?

    My thoughts....

    Please keep in mind that im not saying that this is what is happening.. Its just food for thought.
