"The Pinball Factory" - is the Business name, but no pinballs have been built, or look like being built. The Medievel Madness remake has missed several dealines and the Crocodile Hunter project ceased after the death of Steve Irwin.

Third parties produce parts which are sold under license from TPF. These parts are also sold by TPF.

I hope we do "one day" see a Medievel Madness remake, but I fear it will not see the light of day.

If you really want to know what is going on call Wayne directly on 95441011 I'm sure he would be happy to talk your ear off.
I'm no big fan of Wayne, (he has threatened myself and many others on this forum with legal action over the years) but these threads really serve no purpose and have been covered here many times, RGP is full of them if you need your fix ::)

i noticed blogs in the past referring to The Pinball factory on this forum but never really looked into it that far,until i noticed a couple of U.K blogs & other assorted bits ,saying not many nice things about this bloke. so i am assuming he bought the rights to williams/bally & then after that he lost interest?

It's pretty unlikely you saw much in the way of reference to that business here, it is not a sponsor nor a member, and anyone who has been into pinball more than five minutes will have something to say about that business.

I hear the service for parts is very good. Happy now?

Do your research on RGP as suggested by KTM450. Here's a link:
