    Of all the suggestions I like Beetlejuice the most. It has cross generational appeal. Plus it’s quirky and funny, and has action appeal. It’s the best fit.

    Back to the Future, honestly, seems like too big a license. No offence to Charlie and crew, but that's a pretty giant property with some seriously finicky licensing restrictions.

    Not sure what Hilton’s agenda is to continue poking at P-ROC. It’s probably not even the most expensive part of the game.

    You’re ignoring the years and years of development experience in the ecosystem, the highly mature frameworks that make games like ACNC, TNA and now R&M possible.

    As someone who wasted over a year on a “cheaper” solution before going to P-ROC and finally vanquishing all my board issues forever, you need to look at more than the pure dollar (and RETAIL at that) values. It’s certainly cheaper than STERN boards but I don’t hear any crying about that from you.

    On the topic of the CGC board set it seems optimized to handle emulation duties primarily vs original content. Not sure it’s even in the running.

    Quoted from MOSFET:

    jwilson, what "cheaper" solution were you working with? I'm planning out a homebrew pin and want to be fully informed for engineering decisions.

    Open Pinball Project.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    Only time will tell, but when the design team has Ben Heck (and his affinity for something outside of what both Spooky and CGC currently use) we could see new improvements.

    Not to knock Ben, but he's not actually an electrical engineer and probably shouldn't be designing control systems meant to go into thousands and thousands of machines. Meanwhile, there's a board designed by actual EEs that is installed in hundreds of machines RIGHT NOW with a proven track record, across multiple manufacturers. Why switch?

    How much design and prototyping time has been poured into this new boardset? I'm not seeing the savings.

    Quoted from LonghornEngineer:

    Pinheck was designed by me.

    I stand corrected. How many revisions is it up to now, eight?
