his relationship with CGC won't last long if he keeps blerting out details about the game - having met the folks at CGC they only like to talk and show stuff when its done and it works well.

The controller is VERY simple. Pretty well what is in a homepin. They are made for home brew folks - which will be easier than using PROC stuff and a lot cheaper.
Yeah - Aliens @mufcmufc ..... stands a good chance, but to be fair to Heighway Pinball - Aliens was a great game, and looking at Ben Heck's previous games - they are not that good. America's Most Haunted is awful in todays standards.
The bar is set really high in this decade already. CGC have only put out 'Vacation America' before. I do think they should stick to remakes - which they are absolutely brilliant at.

I think they have pretty much exhausted the viable re makes now so new titles is the only options
What about Cactus canyon? BBB?
So you agree there are still good candidates to remake?
regarding CC, there is CCC but don’t know how CGC could use a private code.

Not heard any rumour about capcom games, they would have to start from the drawing board again as its a differerent OS. Big Bang Bar would be good to see as a reissue. I never got to play one of the last reissues, I was offered one by Phil Palmer for silly money like 7K!!!! Who the hell would spend 7K on a pinball 
The main WPC95 titles have been done. Nobody is going to want Congo, Safecrapper. TOTAN, SS, Junkyard, NBA, CV (well maybe), NGG, Chanpion pub.... the only one that does jump out is Cactus Canyon. Scared Stiff is to close to the Stern Elvira (sure they have a clause of exclusivity for so many years), maybe Cirqus Voltaire, but that is a marmite game.
Would be good IF they do Cactus Canyon to have a way of playing the original version, or the CCC. Erik I am sure could be paid enough for him to sign over rights and re-negotiate with the voice actors etc, but apart from that it is a no license game like MB (from universal).
I really rate CGC for construction and presently I am the proud owner of AFM and MB. Fingers crossed they continute releasing great games.

Sincerely, I have never understood why these reissues. Ok new technologies (however impossible to repair) but no code update.
At the beginning we could have thought that prices of original games would have been regulated or even decreased but CGC is selling at LE games Price tag. And without any code update.
if CGC does not remake at least orignal game with low number of production, it would Be really incomprehensible for me.

Why are CGC pins impossible to repair????
I would buy one over a WPC95 game any day of the week and I actually make a proportion of my living from repairing pinballs.
Your Alien LE will be harder to repair than a CGC. I have schematics for one, you can not get those for a Heighway.

Wont happen - I am a big fan of RFM but it doesnt have the fan base. You can get a very good one for less than £2K. I have bought them for £500 in the past. It is a fabulous game but does not get the glory it should do. I would rather someone made new games for the Pin2k platform.... like wizard blocks.
Something one of the visual pinball people did was make 'attack and revenge from Mars' - that was fun.
Mechanically you can repair them and Alien too. But when a board is down you buy another one.
i agree Alien has no schematics and this is way harder to repair than a CGC.

there are many things on the boards that are fixable, the CPU board and power board. yes the board under the play field is challenging but not unfixable.
but I've had Medieval Madness Remake longer than any other game now and its been totally bullet proof, I've not had to touch it other than clean it. Because of the reliability I sold my Monster Bash and bought the remake and glad I did.

Agree 100%
In one of the videos they said they use 3 LEDs per insert, powered low to get the brightness. If one of the LEDs fails the other two go brighter.
