I have held our hope for years, but agree due to the messy rights issues that it just ain't gonna happen. There's no way they could do it at $2500, it would have to be closer to $4-5k, so everybody can get a cut. Plus, apparently Pat wants no part of it and to me it just wouldn't feel right if it didn't have his "blessing".

As a Pin2k owner/fan, it is a big deal to me. According to most accounts(interviews with Williams employees) it was *the* game that got the pin2k format down to the perfect mix of pinball and video. That's hardly surprising though, as it was designed by the co-creator of the format and he had time to really look at what didn't work on the other two. That, and he's Pat-Freaking-Lawlor(pinball god). It's a little sad, but now I've built this game up in my head so much that if it were it ever be made, it wouldn't live up to the legend I'm sure lol.
