Pinball 2000 did not fail!! It was and is a fantastic platform that was never given a chance to reach it's full potential. Williams closed for other reasons, mainly the greed of Nick Nicastro who was NOT A PASSIONATE PINBALL PERSON. He decided that he would rather make shitloads of money on goddam pokies that stick with putting out brilliant pinball machines that just may have been on the cusp of turning the industry around
