Pedretti Pinball is Bringing MORE Remakes!

[@TheGamingHoser]

More remakes sounds good to me. As someone with only moderate pinball maintenance skills, I have a limit to what I'm willing to invest in 30 year old machines. That limit prices me out of most of the "top" titles these days. I would be more likely to pay some of those prices for a brand new version of a classic game.

[@brunogaspar3977]

Exactly 👍

[@quantumx5727]

You're not a real gaming aficionado. Unless you can read schematics and work a soldering iron, stick to TV game shows.

[@TheGamingHoser]

@@quantumx5727 LOL. Someone sounds a bit salty that their expensive game might become less valuable when its easily available to the masses with a "new" release. I do know how to work on pinball machines, but myself and most others in the hobby today would rather spend 8-10K on a NIB version over taking on the risk of spending 8-10K on a 30 years old version of the same game. Seems like common sense. I'm sorry you feel bitter that there will be more and arguably better options for pinball enthusiasts of these old games.

[@quantumx5727]

@TheGamingHoser Clealy, you have an intellect beyond "gameshows". Let's hope you have at least adequate flipper skills. If your gonna blow 10 grand on a "New" old game, you better be good at it.

[@freddierodriguez2608]

Whatever guy, I purchased 6 NIB games because I can afford it 😂 as for skills maintaining them, it is not rocket science my dude I'm a helicopter technician, I think I can figure it out it is just some of us don't have the time or don't want to spend the time 😉 😂

[@_TILTpin]

I am assuming the first game is TZ. That was in the background on the picture they released showing Fish Tales. People have been saying it doesn't make sense to make Fish Tales and this video confirmed they are not making games that people have been saying don't make sense. So unless they are throwing us a curve ball my bet is on TZ.

[@mikefitzee8189]

congrats on your new venture in co-operation with pandretti. Looking forward to seeing your future content as always and also really excited to see what remakes Pandretti has coming

[@tntamusements]

Remakes sound good...however, I am VERY concerned with so many games coming out/already crated and sitting and whether there will be a true market for so many more games entering into this hobby. The demand seems to have stalled/stopped.

[@brunogaspar3977]

Correct sir Thou I would definitely pay for a new Bally Williams Indiana Jones or Tales of the Arabian Nights

[@JohnSmith78098]

The demand isn’t there because the products offered aren’t being requested. Nobody asked for a toy story four, stupidest ideas I could ever think of. You’re going to release the movie that no one saw as the first toy story pinball? Nobody asked for a godfather game. Nobody asked for a venom game. Nobody asked for an Elton John game. It’s not the fact that the demand has slowed down. It’s that the product being provided is subpar and unwanted by anyone There is still an extremely heavy demand for high-quality excellent themed games. Those just aren’t coming out sadly. I truly hope that this will spark an entirely new round of sequels to the most amazing quality games we all grew up with.

Yes you’re absolutely right! You can excluded all the titles that are less than 9k in the used market Why pay 10/12k for a Getaway if you can buy it for 5k used in very good condition?

[@joelpomerleau4015]

@@brunogaspar3977 exactly but i would pay 1-2,000 more for a old pin that’s redone with better technology or longer lasting parts. I love Whirlwind but most of the playfields weren’t diamond plated so they wear more. If they made one today I’d pay more for it and it had possible a dmd with better parts I’d consider it. I know most people wouldn’t so it won’t probably happen. Those top 5 I listed though are almost guaranteed to happen.

Well now…. That is great news…. Thanks Cary, keep up the good work.

[@bobc7303]

I would probably die of old age before Chicago gaming might get around to a scared stiff reproduction that's what I'm hoping for. But I'm a little apprehensive here cuz I don't know who's going to be making the reproduction parts and although planetary was very good about sending out replacements I had a lot of problems with replacement parts for scared stiff The translite sold was blurry and was replaced with a good one The coffin cover had paint missing as somebody had handled it while the paint was wet. It was replaced. Replacement globes were not the same color as the originals so I had to order more to have a matching set. The more expensive glow-in-the-dark bony beast ribs didn't seem to work well if at all after being exposed to light, or under a UV light Additionally the bones were very stiff and inflexible and tended to pop off on one side of the ramp being on crooked in places at that point. The reproduction ramps were thicker plastic which may have contributed to that intermittent problem. Like some other people have with the reproduction ramps, occasional air-balls off the right ramp. Those put divots in the backboard and occasionally knocked a globe in the back off it's stand. Not good for the pin or game play. Some people made some one-off airball protectors but that affects the aesthetics and who knows if it affects the ball speed when it bounces off the top. I just wasn't down to making something by hand myself The rabbit and wolf plastics were disappointing. The originals you can see hairs on the rabbit fur, and the reproduction you could not. The wolf plastic was darker, and the on the crypt the metal bars were basically not visible. My guess is planetary was dealing with too many parts being made by outside parties who had poor quality control. This was a machine that I was trying to the best of my abilities. restore, and I just got so frustrated I sold it hoping Chicago gaming would make it. So when it said that they would be receiving parts it makes me nervous that the quality might not be up to snuff.

[@foolishheartband3096]

I’m yet to see a Funhouse with Pedretti working right. So I will proceed with caution. I have such mixed reaction on remakes. It kills Collectors. But also makes some of these games semi affordable. As well as parts like you stated. JPOP remakes after the bad taste he left in people’s mouth will be in question.

[@LordCyler]

Collectors will complain about it, then in the same breath talk about how a new machine can't replace the original. If that's true, they'll be fine. No reason someone should have to pay $15-18k on a 30 year old machine when we can remake them.

[@TiltingT]

Makes me wonder if widebody machines are in or out

[@ericmiller3708]

[@txag007]

Sweet news! I look forward to what they put out. I wonder where this puts the re-re-release of Medieval Madness. CGC said it was coming back in 2023 but we know it didn’t show its head. Will Pindretti take over this release or does CGC still have plans to ship it from their shop. Either way I’m ready to give Flip’n’Out pinball more of my money….

[@johnmcclane2139]

How are all these old parts still available? Where were they all these years.

[@neilmcrae1]

Do you know if they will be more reliable than current Pedretti stuff? Their build quality is shocking.

That is my goal with early access. I want to see and test the build quality then inform/show everyone my findings.

[@lNllClK]

Does anyone have an interest in maybe one or two old 80s ss pins for a lower price? I think it would be cool to have a new construction barracora or fireball ii or similar for a cheaper price than the 90s usuals

[@JayCeeTweets]

I sure hope they make the Getaway. That was my absolute favorite pin from that era!

[@joelpomerleau4015]

Very doubtful because you can get them for 4-4,500. They will target the games in the 8,000 and up because that’s the prices they’ll most likely be at. I’d love a whirlwind but I doubt they’ll do that when you can get them for 4-5k.

[@pinundrum]

[@spectroman71]

So Funhouse and Whirlwind are first?

PPS has been really bad with approving licensed parts that are nowhere close to the originals. Look at mirco playfields or some of the replacement speaker panels.

Can confirm, ordered a part from them and all holes were misaligned, not sure what they doing over there.

[@RafConUSMC]

Congrats on the partnership. So you can’t participate in speculation… but always appreciate your honest perspective on the products you mention. Glad to hear you plan to keep your perspective unbiased even with the agreement in place. And with regards to CGC, agree that if they can’t get product out the door in a timely manner, then no one makes money on that.

[@jeremiahm1413]

Not worried about pricing on my originals: 1. I didn't buy to have something covetous - I bought because I love those titles. 2. Even with CGC remakes out, AFM has STILL recovered and is STILL flirting with and into 5-digit territory so my games aren't devaluing in any way 🍻
