TBL takes the #2 spot in the Rolling Stone readers poll for the best 25 films of the 90's.

When I spoke to Gary @ CAX a couple years ago about making this game he said it was "too dated".

Quoted from frolic:

Considering the game we are getting from DP, we should be thankful Gary passed.

Yes and no, a pro version would have possibly sold to ops to put in bowling alleys giving pinball more exposure, who knows what the LE would have had in it.
The DP game will be a boutique pin with not nearly as many units sold that Stern could have moved.
I doubt I will ever see or play one unless I was to buy one but for the price I would have to see it and play it first.
Therein lies the rub.
I can say Gary would have sold more of these than Mustang or TRS.

Quoted from drsfmd:

And AC freaking DC isn't? They haven't had a hit for 30 years. Metallica? Had a minor hit in 1997, other than that it's been more than 20 years for them.
I'm coming to the conclusion that's he's truly delusional.

I really tried to convince him that it is a cult classic and how many people attend the Lebowskifests and how many people use quotes from the movie.
I think he really missed the boat on this one but maybe it wasn't family friendly enough for him.
When this game does come out if you took it to a Lebowskifest people would line up to stuff money into it.

Seems like they should of made a Pulp Fiction pin instead..
