Always a great watch and an excellent insight into Pinball for any newbies who have not seen it, gotta love George Gomez and the team, I had to own a RFM after seeing this although it did not stay very long before it found a new home.

Thanks for sharing man, that was a really interesting watch. So many things I never knew about Pin2k.

Yup, a treat the first time around but always a good reminder of where it came from, where it has been, the people who maintained the dream and us lot who are still here keeping it alive, god bless pinball.
Great watch thanks.a very interesting story. 
i especially liked the Pat Lawlor quote at 55:50:
Let's hope his JJP work delivers on this.
"the actual idea of video in a pinball is not a bad idea... i think it remains to be seen if it'll ever see the light of day again"
Let's hope his JJP work delivers on this.
Very interesting...
And as if by magic....!

No item on earth is worth anything if it has Jar Jar on it.
Or from that seller some on here might add 
Oh, its the 'buy pinballs for investment' guy, again.
Yeah, I noticed the seller was devon020305 right after I posted my comment. It was just the coincidence really. I watched the film this morning knowing very little about Pinball 2000, only there was this very cool game called Revenge From Mars with massive cabinet due to the monitor. Didn't know anything about the Star Wars Episode 1 game. I've got a saved search email alert on eBay that attempts to find new UK-based pinball stuff (whilst filtering out all the keyrings and XBox games) and in this evening's alert was this SWE1. Bizarre.
Out of interest is that £2k a fair price for a P2K and/or SWE1? I realise that Jah-Jah Binks is a character with a Marmite reputation and one man's POPEYE is another man's GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, but are these things pretty collectible due to rarity/novelty etc.?

Say what you want about Popeye and Gilligans, but they didn't destroy 16 years of anticipation quite like Jar Jar did!
Tell me about it 
How did Lucas get it so wrong? The pod racing scenes are excellent though.

You know what, I actually met the man himself at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years back (he was a judge on some classic car exhibition, along with Rolf Harris, of all people) and I asked him what the idea with Jar Jar was all about, he scuttled off without answering.
Sorry to swerve this thread in a totally random direction, but any one even a teensy bit interested or excited about the new film being made. I keep getting secret leaked photos of X-Wings in the British countryside appearing in my Facebook feed.
Hey, don't drag Popeye down to that level ![emoji35] Gilligans frickin Island........ Pfft
[emoji12] [emoji379]
Tell me about it
Agreed
Maybe they thought'd it'd help sell loads of toys to kids?
