    Quoted from fish1975tx:

    I would like to see games with subways and code completed from Stern.

    True.

    I admire JJP for making a new pinball company, but so far although limited play, I don't believe the two pins they have made are my type of gameplay.

    JJP has sold one game WoZ and on course to make another TH, while in that time Stern has made TAV, Mustang, TWD, ST, KISS, IMVE, Metallica and WWE.

    That's 7-8 pins for Stern to 1 - 2 for JJP. So if Stern had a bad theme they can move on, but JJP has to stick with its pins for several years. Just think of Stern had made only Mustang and WWE in the past 3 years. They'd be sunk. If JJP swings and misses on a theme or gameplay, they are gonna have a very low sales run.

    I believe WoZ sold well, but only because it was anti-Stern. It sold well because it was different and a WB pin with more toys than a Stern pin plus $6500 pre-order discount didn't hurt. But IMO WoZ is not a great game.

    Plus Stern can always dip into their old catologue, they have with IM so they *could* remake LOTR, Tron, AcDc, SM, TSPP etc.. If need be without having to recode a full new game. In fact Stern has also shown with Luci that they are not afrade to change or update an existing title, AcDc pro was also updated. So nothing to stop them from making another Metallica premium or heck even an IM premium if they decided there was a few sales to be made.
