Episode 180 - Rocket Man

PodcastAnalysis updated 3d ago55 min listenBy Dennis Kriesel & Tony Kurkowski

Highlights

  • Chicago Gaming Company Cactus Canyon (Remake) versions delayed until sometime in 2023 due to topper manufacturing issues
  • Standard editions of Cactus Canyon have been shipping for a while, but LE versions remain delayed
  • CGC is already notorious as probably the slowest of the major manufacturers at building and shipping
  • Steve Richie at Jersey Jack Pinball is developing an Elton John music-themed pinball machine
  • Wizard of Oz was JJP's cheapest production game with most content and most successful sales

Notable quotes

The toppers are too large for the machine. There's too big. Somebody messed up the conversion from Imperial to Metric when they sent it over to get them built.
Tony
you're not going to get all of the games or movies or episodes of the show or whatever... you're not getting seven Harry Potter. So you can decide, should we just focus on one, or should we focus on the whole series
Tony
Steve Ritchie next JJP game is actually a music pin, and it's Elton John. Oh! Rocket Man.
Dennis
Rumor Corner is about rumor-tainment. It's not about truth. These are rumors. They are very sus. We're not claiming it's not truth.
Dennis
For most games, especially story-driven games, I would just focus on one rather than trying to blend them. I just think it's cleaner.
Dennis
They just like, duh, you guys got to wait another six months. And I don't know if they formally announced this either.
Tony
