Quoted from mbeardsley:
Jim said they have two lines going now.
I assume that one is doing CCr, and the other is doing PF.
That would free up a line to do the MMr run when CCr is complete.

Who knows? they have about a 1000 CCR's to build, and 2000 PF's to build at 30-40 games per week, which is almost 17-23 months of builds. This assumes CGC doesn't have design or parts problems, which they are famous for. Fitting in an MMR build will only set back PF or CCR deliveries, which I guess could happen, but seems unlikely as CGC has their hands full

I don't know for fact.

I would assume CCR on both lines, with hiring and training more people to assemble. Then MMR on both lines, and later maybe change one to start PF and train then full steam ahead on both lines for PF.

do you know if CGC is planning on making more XL screen to upgrade other classic editions? I have an AFM that would really benefit from this (already has the colour screen/chip, just the regular size).

If you have the color chip already you can drop in the MMr one they sold as an upgrade. I did it to mine and has been great.

Today I learned that movie copywrites last for 95 years in the US, and that even though some of those creatures (e.g. Frankenstein) were invented before that, Universal owns their "version" of the monster (what we think of as Frankenstein). Interesting. In the next decade or so I guess all of those copywrites expire though so maybe we can see some interesting adaptations or uses of those characters!

Yeah, that's not necessarily a good thing. I can't say that the world is a better place now that we have "Serial Killer Winnie-the-Pooh".

Seriously what would it take for a gottlieb remake to hit the market after we banged out the high speed 40th edition.

Or do we just burn through the Williams bally catalog before considering something else.

I really wonder if there's any market for remakes once you get away from the '90s Williams Bally? Look at the Fathom remake by Haggis. Now given they are a startup company in Australia. I wonder how many more would have sold if it had been Chicago gaming instead?

There are so many great Gottlieb layouts begging for modern code/rules. Stop making 2.0 kits for games that were already good. Someone make the full layout of Gladiators worth playing. Make SF2 with actual game art, sounds, music and a modicum of scoring balance.

Especially if their own titles like Pulp Fiction turn out great.

That could help decide their future games.

If you are going to remake Gottlieb games, I would think Haunted House would be high on the list. Preferably with new rules and Multi-ball.

OTOH, I'm just hoping they are still doing another run of MMr-SE.

But they are only manufacturing Pulp Fiction, it's not their game.

So a CGC designed original would be something we haven't seen before (looks like maybe they tried 20 years ago?)

You must have a very generous bank. Especially how many games you'd have to sell to pay back tens of millions.

And ramp up takes time. They added a second line. Hiring and training people, especially for assembly, isn't easy. Look how many people Stern lost on their last move. Not everybody wants to travel across Chicago for assembly work.

CGC's working at it.
