Unless they add some new code..........if theyre doing it with CCr/lyman, then maybe they will do it with lesser titles in future. But I think you're right, why remake something that's not that good. Would it be better to deal with a 3rd party IP holder and secure the rights to remake a TAF or IJ or TZ - I am guessing people would pay the extra £?,??? that such a licence would add to those titles, to get a brand new remade one.

FT isn't lacking rules, code or anything else IMO. It's cheap for four reasons:

a) it's as common as muck (~13,640 made) ;
b) it's difficult to play well;
c) it's about fishing;
d) it's about fishing...

As the owner of a FT and a LoTR, I would rank FT as among the best pins ever made. I prefer it to LoTR and I probably prefer it to AFM gameplay-wise. I can't, in good conscience, rate it higher than AFM or MM on Pinside, however, because the theme simply isn't as accessible. I struggle to explain the theme ("Well, I have a pinball machine at home. What's it about? Well, it's about... erm, lying to your mates about the size of your fish" "Nope, that's not a euphemism for something." "Are you serious?" "Yep, deadly serious." "Do you sit for hours waiting for the ball?" "No, it probably plays faster than the pinball machines about sports cars...")

Hold it more TAF’s we’re made, I play mine well (sometimes) but I’ve had it forever and what’s wrong with fishing. I will say it again what’s wrong with fishing😂

I have sat for days like a mug not catching anything but a cold, even driven to northern Holland and caught nothing. What a trip though😄

Long live Fish Tales🐟
 
A remade TAF would easily sell despite the huge numbers made.

Think we will be waiting a while for flintstonesR though.
 
Looking back on all the pins I’ve moved on. Fishy is the one pin I miss. Well that and Funhouse. Although with Funhouse I had that dialled in. Fishy on the other hand was a tricky game. Great flow and catchy music..

I’ll be honest and say I’ve only played poor examples of these games at expos/events. Obviously played some of them virtually. Never actually seen a CC..

Chief in Chiswick, London had one, it was in excellent condition, it's the only time I've ever seen one, not sure if it's still in the place, I went a while ago. The first game feels pretty basic but it gets better

FlipOut has one - I played it on Sunday.

There's still one in Chief Coffee, as of earlier this year.
 
i came across a game called timeshock on youtube its a virtual table from the mid 90's but it looked dam cool, ill post link
 
There's signs on Pinside that SE's are shipping over the pond.... some photos up.

Probably still end of year for us then outside US/EU, no doubt at back of the queue 😄
 
So do we know what the new code is like? The original code is pretty underwhelming.

I’m assuming it’s different from CCC but is it similar?

New graphics/scenes or just new rules?
 
no idea, but glad to hear that Lyman had finished it. I'm super glad I'm in on this game now.

From Josh:

Fortunately we worked on stuff closest to the start button first. I don't know a lick of programming so I'm thankful we were as far into the project as we were when this tragedy happened.

We were currently working on the (spoiler alert) two-stage wizard mode for High Noon. Rules are in but that Lyman choreography polish we've all grown to appreciate and love hadn't been meticulously implemented yet.

There's also potentially (Spoiler alert) some hardware features to our update that had not been fully implemented yet.

I'll be seeing this thing through without a doubt. Him and I were so proud of the work we accomplished on this thing and there's no way he wouldn't want to see the community enjoy the update.
