	Ever since Midway split up in to seperate entities and the Pinball Factory bought out the Willams and Bally pinball likenesses and other games, the pinball factories website has been same old same old for 4 years now. The future of pinball is looking very bleak. Stern is the only company around now actively producing these machines. I have a feeling the Pinball Factory bought out a defunct license and are not doing anything with it. -----signature----- Proud canuck living in california. Go Leafs Go Hockey Rules!

	Personally, I think the days of the stand alone pinball machine is dead save for the ones still in dedicated arcades. Almost all new pinball developments will only be software based. There's actually two pinball games available on Xbox Live Arcade. As far as Williams/Bally specific tables go I think someone would have to buy the rights and do something with them. -----signature----- "Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." - Proverbs 17:28 http://www.youtube.com/MidwayChicago http://myspace.com/mk_armageddon http://myspace.com/mka_subzero
