Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

I would be shocked if Stern ever built a SAM game again but there's always a 0.0001% chance!

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

And it will be just as likely to be made as a SAM version

Does that mean we have an *additional* 0.0001% chance of the Spike 2 version? I'm trying to plan ahead, and this would be really useful to know. /S

Quoted from Cobray:

Bum, ba bum bum bum..... TRONNNNN!
How many remember that call-out and attract sound (when you hit the flipper button) on the earliest Tron code?

I used Pinball Browser to add it back into mine.

Quoted from thedarkknight77:

the only question is, are you going to admit you were wrong when the game comes out?

I doubt that will be a problem since I believe a Tron VE is a pipe dream, but how is that a fair wager? Without setting a timeframe, you never lose, because you can still claim "It's coming soon".

If we DO set a timeframe, should 6 years not already be long enough? That's how long ago this thread was started.

I'm another Engineer who knows the effort involved in a Spike "port" is a lot more effort than many of you are giving credit for. Just because a similar task has been done once or twice before does not mean that it is now "easy money". Easier than a brand new game, with all new layout, software, art assets, yes. Easier than manufacturing more of a game already on the Spike platform, no.

We love analogies, right? So, we've sent people to the moon before. Technology is far more advanced now than it was then. Sending people now would be "easy money", right? Have you followed any of the Artemis program?

Granted, pinball is not rocket science, but nothing technical is ever as simple as it seems like it should be.
