People who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

Big bang Bar. Gene designed nothing, had parts made . machine still took 3 years and a lot of favors, to pull it off
Wayne never had a factory when he took deposits for Medieval Madness remake. With no manufacturing experience, it took many years before the idea folded
JJP, had manufacturing experience, but no engineering or programming expertise, took 3 ½ years (he had been working on this a year before his announcement) to get the game rolling off the assembly line. Electronics not up to standard and found to not be able to handle pinball life

If  Mike (Homepin) was not an electronics genius and had decades of experience, there would have been no way I would have gone in on TAG

People need to look deeper, beyond the promise, before handing over the well earned $$$


Brilliant post. A reality check for those that have faith in these boutique projects. The way Mike has handled TAG is exactly the opposite of all the failed (and possibly failing) ventures. Keep your eye on circus Maximus ass well   ^^^
