How many were there, and how many are not in 2005 or 2006?

There was a BBB at California Extreme. Of course it was an original
Capcom unit. Don't think you will see any new ones any time soon.
Hopefully so, but I doubt it. My date of 1/26/06 in Koz's contest is
starting to look in jeopardy.

>From what little I played them at CAX - I liked Kingpin better than
BBB. Maybe that one will be next to be reproed.

I thought the last updated that leaked out of the "circle of trust"
said that all the parts, pf, cabinets, etc were completed and that all
that was needed was assembly, test, QA, and delivery??

That circle wasn't hard to break.

The screened pfs were sent out for underside construction. The topside
was going to be done in house at one point. That was a while ago. I
have not kept up since bearcave left the loop.

Here is ALL I know - spoke with Gene yesterday concerning attendance at the
Texas Pinball Festival - he is NOT going to attend because he is busy trying
to get stuff done, namely BBB. I can tell you that, and I know NOTHING else
because I did not ask details (it does not concern me directly). Sorry I
don't know more, but know that he is working on them.

I still think my guess of the 12th of never looks accurate.

Just throw all the parts in a bax and have thw buyers throw them together,
At least, I'd rather do that than have 3 people rush them together.

Gentlemen and Ladies of RGP,

I would like to take a moment to address a few of the criticisms and
misconceptions surrounding the BBB project.


First, PMI is not intending or attempting to keep information about the
project a secret. While the idea of a private forum was my [Kim's]
idea, it was not intended to prevent the information reaching RGP or
other venues.
The intent behind creating a private forum was to provide a place for
the perspective BBB owners to get updates and chat without enduring the
unending stream of criticism that normally erupts whenever the BBB
subject is raised.

Everyone knows that there are/were more than just the so-called
"trusted circle" viewing the forum. This was viewed as a non-issue
since the information was not intended to be secret in the first place.

Second, the departure of the BearCave guys was unfortunate and
regrettable.
They had done a wonderful job, and PMI was able to pick up where they
left off. Although I don't have an exact shipping date yet, the games
_will_ be completed.




Finally (and on a lighter note), is it to late to get in on the pool,
Pinlicious? ;)

Kim

If I may chime in,

These games are going to be well worth the wait, Where ever one of them
sets people will gater 'round and the proud owner will tell the long
twisting tale of how much it cost (perhaps), how long overdue it was,
how much contraversey there was, The many folks who brought pinball
production back from times past even if only for a short run at it, all
the craftsmen and technicians the teamed up to do it, and now it's
finlay here and here to stay. Some tale it will be.

Only a small handful in the world will be able to tell that tale. 'Easy
to see why some stain the waters with envy and gelousey.

I say GodSpeed BBB!

Have fun, Karl.

I just want to know...has anyone who actually ordered this game
actually played it? I had a chance to play one way back at a game party
here in the Chicago area.
YAWN...YAWN...YAWN...
I do hope all who ordered it actually see it and enjoy it. I personally
can think of a lot better things to spend that cash on. I will be
amazed if this thing sees the light of day after the dealing I had with
Gene. Good luck...your gonna need it


oh...that reminds me....
Kim...you can tell Gene thanks a bunch for the message he left about
the Addams he snaked from me over 3 years ago. Maybe next time he can
grow some balls and call me when I am there instead of copping out and
leaving a message. Oh and thank him for the number he never left so I
can get back to him. I had to laugh when I heard him say "and
besides..It don't even work" HELLO? I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE DAMN THING
AND IT WAS NOT SHOPPED! I know it booted up when I got it and it WAS
complete.
>From what you told me on the phone it's going to be a cold day in hell
when it works again since it's "missing parts and we don't know what
happened to them"

He must have a bad memory...
I sure remember the conversation quite well when he drove all the way
up and stood face to face with me in my showroom to pick the machine
up.
WHY IN THE HELL would I have sold the game to him for 100 bucks LESS
than I paid for it UNLESS I was to GET THE GAME BACK FOR THE PRICE HE
PAID AND THE NEW RAMP IT NEEDED ONCE HE WAS DONE REVERSE ENGINEERING
IT?
THAT WAS THE DEAL......PERIOD!!!

On top of that I told him not to even bother putting it back
together...I was going to shop it anyhow. As long as it was complete
and I got a new ramp.
Unfortunatly I trusted him.
BIG BIG BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART I FOUND OUT.
Guess thats what I get for trying to help out a dying hobby. As you can
tell this REALLY pisses me off. I guess it's because in all the years I
have been in biz I have never jacked anyone. I just hate the jerkoffs
who do.

THANKS AGAIN GENE...
XOXOXO
