American Pinball announce new partnership with Planetary Pinball

[Azatotht]

American Pinball will be building Bally/Williams games under licence from Planetary Pinball.

They are talking about 7 titles for now, they are yet to be announced.

Looking forward to seeing what the titles are!

Either PPS dropped CGC or these are the licenses Haggis had.

Either way it doesn't really make business sense to remake a game that sells well below the NIB price. This is why the crazy expensive ones were done like MM, AFM, CC, and MB. Even FH 2.0 isn't that much of a hit because you can get the real original game for much less.

I'll be curious to see what they try. 7 titles?? Other than TOTAN (if they improve it) I can't really see anything else being worth 10-12kUSD. MAYBE TOM but that's stretching it. Hope they don't plan on selling more than a few hundred. When it comes to SS classics, buying a restored original would make way more financial sense.

I'll believe/care it when I see the machines in people's collections.

Planetary Pinball says CGC is NOT out of the business of doing Bally/Williams remakes.
