Owned all three at the same time, not sure which I would bring back. They share a lot of general similarities. In my mind I pick one and can list - good theme, interactive toys, solid rules, great lighting, sound, art and use of magnets. All are easy to get to the wizard mode imo. Then I pick another and get the same characteristics. Repeat for the third. So think I would be 33 1/3% hoping for each one. However, I would prefer a CV based on it being more difficult to produce - oddball backbox and DMD on playfield. I appreciate the technology enough to make that .. my final answer.

No doubt JPOP veered off course, crashed and was never CONvicted, but as a designer, will be remembered as the King of Magnets.

Wasn't that the same gift you had for Andrew or Heighway Pinball 1.5? Regifting much? haha. I was hoping for some more creativity Ted.

Don't think you can tie the results from this thread's comments with CGC's stated intentions to produce TOM. The results reflect which JPOP game people think CGC should make next. That is not the same as asking people to list their:

Favorite JPOP to play
Favorite JPOP to own
Favorite JPOP to buy
Favorite JPOP to buy not already owned
Favorite JPOP to drop money
Favorite JPOP you can never find to play

Also it is not the same as asking CGC:

Which games of any Designer has potential to sell max # units
Which games of any Designer has potential to sell acceptable # units
Which games of any Designer has no legal issues remaining
Which games of any Designer has no physical issues or hurdles remaining
Which games of any Designer can be made with minimal effort (low fruit)

But rather the results reflect which JPOP game some people want CGC to make next. And that is something....and it's a good start.

How does it shoot?

Did you have to sign over rights to American Pinball or later to deeproot .... or did your deal expire? Wasn't sure if there was any ongoing contention or litigation.
