Et il y a un gros paquet de monde très mécontent, car il semble que John Popadiuk soit dans l'équipe ou en lien avec ce projet. Et vu son echec à livrer les multiples machines pour lesquelles de nombreux collectionneurs avaient déjà payé...
Cette édition du Pinball Expo à Chicago promet un nombre de reveal absolument phénoménal :
- Batman 66 - Gomez
- Alien - Nordman
- JJP #3 - Lawlor
- Houdini - Popadiuk
- sans compter les homebrew et autres machines "perso" style Doom...
Une seule de ces machines suffirait à montrer le dynamisme du monde du flipper, mais là, on atteint une effervescence vraiment impressionnante !
Voici le communiqué de presse :
