Here we go again... ::)
--- Quote ---Gottlieb ‘virtually’ returns to pinball through Nanotech Entertainment @ Arcade Heroes
Now classic Gottlieb tables are on their way back in virtual form due to an agreement that newcomer Nanotech Entertainment made with the existing Gottlieb Development LLC (personally I had no idea that they were still around). The pinball tables are being recreated for Nanotech’s Multipin video based pinball machine which states that it uses a special engine to recreate the feel of bumping and nudging a table to move the ball around accurately. According to the company website they have two flavors of the MultiPin machine, with the much more expensive MultiPin Gold table suggesting that it will be the one to support more classic tables (Gottlieb isn’t mentioned specifically but I doubt that they would go to all of this trouble to release these tables on a limited edition unit). Pictured is the standard unit, the Gold one has a different color layout.

--- Quote ---Foley finally comes out of the woodwork again @ VPForums
First let me say hello to many of you that I have not talked to in a couple of years. I've taken a couple of years off after my differences with Global VR.
I know a lot about NanoTech and the associated questions and will offer my input and opinions. Since there are really several topics, I'll start separate threads for each of the topics and stick to the information about Gottlieb in this thread.

Seeing how "well" things went over with a Visual Pinball and VPinMAME powered UltraPin I wonder what makes them think a Future Pinball powered MultiPin will do any better? ::)
One can read up on what Foley has to say at VPForums. If one chooses to do so I’d also suggest to check the archives to read his posts and the responses concerning UltraPin back from about 2-3 years ago. It should help put one’s opinion regarding the situation in better perspective.
davidrfoley:
The failure of UltraPin by Global VR has nothing to do with the concept of the product and everything to do with execution. It's like saying given that the Wright brothers initial flight was only a few seconds, why would anyone bother building an airplane.
Also, please be clear about NanoTech and MultiPin. They are not my company or product. I created the Pinball Wizard controller that NanoTech has exclusive rights too. The MultiPin product is not mine, I merely offered my feedback on what I have seen so far. I'm merely a bit player in this play.

...and to think I'm new enough in this scene to only have heard of the legendary douchiness of David F....and now I get to experience it! :applaud:
davidrfoley:
I think it is awesome that someone who has no experience with me feels the need to post an insult about me. Why talk about how I've created a new and innovative controller for PC users to play pinball, and discuss that on an arcade controls forum when you could just toss out insults.
I love forums!!!!

I have no experience with Hitler, but I know from history he's no one I'd want to deal with.
(yes, I mentioned Nazi's...this discussion is officially over).
