Re: If Stern dies and how pinball will be revived.....

Incidentally that wasn't my idea. The head of Williams Midway stopped here
after Williams closed the pinball division. And he talked like Midway may in
a couple years ( back then ) make a P2K pin now and then. That one of
William's biggest expenses was the many design team's salaries and royalties
if their game was built. He said it would be better to offer colleges a
competition to design a game and the one picked and built, give the college
a million dollars for doing it. He said it would be cheaper than what they
had going on then. LTG :)
