Doubt it. But it might become available if it’s running as an emulated rom.

The software will allow you to play with the original game rules or the Lyman rules to allow the game to fill its full potential.

This is cool. Honestly, I have no interest in the original game/code, it's boooooring, as boring as TOM, for exactly the same reasons. But I know there are plenty of people who will want that, so having both is awesome. The Lyman/Josh game though, now that is exciting.
 
I think this is going to be a very good copy, and will unlike the previous kit pins give an extra boost with new code. 😂
 
Will it be enough to break your £10k per pin rule @Neil McRae ?? Or will you go Premium? For a Lyman coded CGC, surely all bets are off and you gotta go big.

Gotta say I really love the one at Flipout with the P-ROC code on it, layout is fun and the quickdraw on the game with the moving targets in the playfield are really, really fun.

I hope they sell a tonne of these.

That’s never going to happen ec have been stern distributors since the 80s and do a pretty good job really I don’t think there bite of the cherry is that big plus stern set the rrp plus ec are distributors in other countries
Don’t forget as a distributor you have to take ex amount of every title I suspect a min of £250000 per title and if the game is a lemon like Beatles and led zep and munsters you will be stuck with it for a long time ec still have lots of Beatles and zep to sell it’s not that long ago since they sold the last munsters so if there is 3 new titles a year that’s a hugh layout

Still waiting for the cut price beatles.................................
 
I played the original yesterday, at Flip Out, and I had forgotten just how packed this game is. Really looking forward to seeing the CGC version in the flesh.
