Back when pinball was much better off than it is today, the GLORIOUS AND UNTOUCHABLE Medieval Madness couldn't even move 4,000 units. They produced barely over 4,000 of them, and once you take out the ones they kept for employees, the ones that got warehoused, and the ones that just didn't get sold, that leaves you at under 4,000. I like Medieval Madness, I think it's a great game. I do not think it has nearly the pull Xaiou2 thinks it does, nor will I ever.
This should probably be reposted...
--- Quote ---Xiaou2 is a robot. He has absolutely no concept of personal opinion. He's been pre-programmed to like a handful of games and completely hate the rest. There's a list his overlords uploaded to his memory banks. When approaching a pinball machine the following logic process takes place in his brain.
1. If game is on [master list] proceed to 2. If game is not found on [master list], continue to 4.
2. Play game and sing its praises no matter what perceived drawbacks or issues the game might have. Continue to 3.
3. Access [bull**** reasons list]. Use list to explain why game is better than any game not found on [master list]. Spread message on BYOAC. Regardless of BYOAC feedback, continue to 7.
4. Do not play game, even if free play is enabled. Run to BYOAC and tell anybody who likes the game that they are incredibly wrong. Access [master list] for random examples of superior games. Continue to 5.
5. If negative reaction is received, continue to 6.
6. Access [even more bull**** reasons list]. Use list to explain why you are correct to put down game not found on [master list]. Ignore all replies unless to only more adamantly restate your point and to draw from [even more bull**** reasons list] once more. End Program.
7. Disappear from pinball forum for 3 weeks. Return only if game not found on [master list] is discussed. Return to 6.

For today's market, a license like Shrek or Family Guy has much more pull and appeal for the masses than does Medieval Madness. It doesn't matter what game is superior, it matters what people are willing to play and try out.

Dear God, didnt we already discuss the marketibilty of pinball back in this thread? http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=103359.0;all
I believe there was a post about an arcade full of great WILLIAMS games in a crowded arcade that no one was playing. I mean doesnt that pretty much give a real life example of how dead pinball is? I mean even if Wal-Mart wanted to sell $3K MM machines they cant because some schmuck in Australia owns the license so who gives a ---fudgesicle---?
This whole debate is really meaningless.....and tiresome. I suppose its my own fault for not turning off the notifications on this thread.

Yeah ---fudgesicle--- kangaroos & the mick dundee pinball theif, its Avatar time!
Funny how Avatar rights are more accessible to a pinball manufacturer than some old WMS or Gottelib rights.
To my Aussie BYOAC'rs I am sorry for the crocodile dundee reference its all I know other than fosters :cheers:

I don't understand this, John Borg designed this game, yet Stern didn't want to take on Steve Ritchie's version that he had started in 2008 during movie production.
