Quoted from Pinstein:1 and 2 are essentially the same movie.
Quoted from blowback1976:Umm.... hate to break it to you, but there’s three. 1,2,and Army of Darkness.
There are 4: 1,2 AOD and the 2013 version, which is *not* a remake
Quoted from Whysnow:I dont think that is even remotely accurate. Ben's game was ready long before the R&M timeline.
I think the real reason was licensing issues/costs in the past, but dont quote me on that.
This makes sense as CGC can do a bigger run and has the license buying power/ability from that larger run.
I won't quote you, but I can quote Ben:
“More news: I'm parting ways with Spooky Pinball due to my 2nd game being delayed beyond my liking and the usual "creative differences". The whitewood I designed may get turned into something by them down the road however.”
Quoted from blowback1976:Fair enough, keep forgetting about the cameo at the end.
And the the Delta 88
Quoted from Tsskinne:Yeah that was back with TNA though, which was followed by Alice. Nothing to do with Rick & Morty. Regardless, I'm excited to see what this partnership produces.
Wait, so did Ben quit twice? WTF
Quoted from Indusguys:For some reason I own a copy[quoted image]
Not quite "rare" but definitely a unique title! I always found it phenomenally ironic that the game has a hardware design specifically designed to defeat Nintendo's lockout chip- basically circumventing their licensing model. Hm....
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Think Spooky have wanted this license for a long time as it was thought RZ was going to be Meatloaf.
Is it a triple A license though?
That can't be true. Really? Crazy Meatloaf?
So I'm new to the Spooky discussion here... I'm trying to find some information about Ben - what I'm finding is that:
1) he designed the AMH game, which is fine
2) he quit Spooky (a company i think he helped found? or was at least involved in the early days)
3) he used to make youtube videos
4) he modded some consoles (very creative ideas in that department, but nothing to do with pinball)
4) he's designed one or two other games which never actually got made
what am i missing here? what's the rest of the story? I think AMH is a fine go at a first pin, but i'm totally missing what the "big deal" is. Are there other games at Spooky or other companies that he helped design?
So the consensus seems to be “great promise”, not a proven past history (at least not yet). I’m not trolling, just trying to understand the situation. Cool, well I look forward to the delivery on these big promises!
Quoted from aeneas:Before Spooky, Ben worked together with John Pop.. see the magic girl / jpop thread here on pinside.
Some info on my blog:

oh god. That's not positive news.
Quoted from romulusx:Not really he was just one of the many guys JPoop screwed over!
Oh! Gotcha. Ok, comment retracted 
Quoted from kermit24:Hearing that this game is a year away. Someone jumped the gun a bit on the “teaser”.
lots of time for things to go wrong...
Quoted from J85M:BTTF is as popular as ever. The DeLorean is so iconic especially in relation to BTTF I don’t think pulling a JP Jeep move would work.
Donate a small % of the sale proceedings or line up some charity events (launch parties) in relation to MJF Foundation and I bet he would be on board, worked for VP Cabs.
And this year is the 35th anniversary
Quoted from benheck:Wore out my VHS tapes as a kid. Now I find BTTF dated and irrelevant. Should really be remade. The difference between a teens life now and in the 80s is radically more different (equals more conflict) than a teen going from 80s to 50s.[quoted image]
Good thing teens are the ones buying all these pins!
