Personally for me, I reckon Star Trek Next Gen 1993 leaves Star Trek 1978 for dead 10 times over....
Gary Stern has said in the past that a title has to be able to be played in a pub/bar, anywhere there is alcohol and be attractive to adults as well as attractive to kids if in arcades etc....hard to fill those shoes and also, u have to get something that all people from most countries will recognise straight away. Star Trek does this for example, where alot of other stuff doesnt do it......has to be a success in Europe as well he has said....
I have researched the sales figures of machines during the 1990's, all manufacturers, and licenced titles have sold more than unlicenced titles when u look at all manufacturers and all titles as a whole and their sales figures....I will print these results later on another thread.
Finding any title and making it commercially viable, is not an easy task in 2013.....(and YES to a walking dead pinball 4 sure).....lets see what big blockbuster movies come out in 2013.....wish i had a time machine.
