[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 16132, member: 320"] I figured I'd just start a thread about this instead of it taking up space in the ST:TNG ones. At the 3:04 mark in the ST:TNG Kickstarter Video Jay Obernolte says "Another thing that's disappointing to me is how expensive pinball has gotten. We're all pinball aficionados here and we were shopping for a pinball table we wanted the other day and I was just shocked to discover the cheapest one we could find was over eleven thousand dollars." What table is he talking about? I'm guessing 1998's Cactus Canyon from Bally/Williams. This was the last traditional and WPC pinball from them and only around 900 were manufactured. It is quite rare and VERY expensive sometimes selling for into the teens of thousands. Even though the software was not quite "finished" it was still a very playable table and a lot of fun. I played one many years ago at Hersheypark, PA and haven't seen one since. When Jay talks about "preserving pinball" this is perfect example of an enjoyable pinball that most will never get to play in real life and would be well worth digitizing. Here's a great gameplay video from PAPA (pinball.org) and, please, post your guesses whether you agree with me or not.
