Game #3 Discussion / Lead time for remake #3

« on: July 02, 2017, 01:06:19 PM »

Hi Rick,
First off, my compliments to you all for the MMr and AFMr.  Both are well worth the wait and price.
PPS/CGC held off on announcing AFMr until production could reasonably ship out the games, which in my opinion was wise.


How much would you estimate we as consumers have as lead time between announcement of remake #3 to the collection of final payment? Translation, how long do I have to save up for you next remake?


Thanks as always.

Attack From Mars Remake (AFMR) / Discussion involving the new technology

« on: December 11, 2016, 03:42:57 PM »

Hi folks,
Just curious what everyone's input is on the following subject: The new pinball tables technology will make future repair difficult or impossible, and that sticking with the original machines would be more feasible. This was not solenoids, coils etc, but rather the play fields circuitry in question. "Once they go bad, you cant fix them" to paraphrase.
A reputable and friendly amusement company near me suggested that the danger in buying the new style games would involve the play field circuitry going bad down the road preventing repairs.
I took it as friendly advice, but also as biased as the newer machines might put these folks out of work so to speak.


If this is on the wrong board, my apologies.  Just looking for everyone's thoughts.


Thanks,
Jim
