    I've been directed to this thread by a friend.

    I can't waste time in the negative. I've been in this industry a long time and lots of people doubted me over the years. Most of them are no longer in this business.

    When we were building iPlay America, it "should have taken" about 2 years. It took 4 years because it became something different than what was first thought of. People said it would never open, that it would fail, the doubters and haters there too.

    It opened allright and it is a wild success.

    My own partner at the time in Belgium said the WOZ Pusher would never sell, that it was just an average game beaten in a location by a twenty year old coin pusher.

    I built and sold the game in spite of him and even the first location that ordered one canceled it the night before it was to be delivered - I delivered it anyway.

    The game went on to make $5000.00 a DAY! Yes, five thousand dollars a day........We were making them and flying them in from Belgium and I was getting paid in full for them with people fighting to get them. Go search the groups.......People were writing that the artwork on the
    game was horrible, etc..etc......I'm laughing a lot now as that game is the greatest earning redemption game ever created! Where are those people now? Probably playing the game.

    That's just two things in the last year alone....add the creation of JJP & WOZ Pinball....Our WOZ Pinball evolved to be something more than we first thought. We kept going and adding.....my fault for letting creative people create I guess....LOL.

    We did not build the game with a calculator and the end result will show what it plays like, what it earns like and we are all very proud of what we have done in a very short time.

    Next round of doubters, lookout, we're almost ready for you!
