I feel so lucky to have been able to play this! I was only 8 at the time so I don't remember much, but it was still an honor.

This machine is in Gene Cunningham's collection in Illinois. I believe he said he would part with it for at least 20K.

Is it possible to contatc with the owner? I have an SWE1 and I would like to build this machine too.

Haveing color = needing to have bigger roms / ram.

also makeing the full back glass a screen drives up cost.

PB2000 may have done better if they let Pat Lawlor design the first or second game.

@elsquibbs Lawlor was in on the design of RFM. The entire concept was his and Gomez.

I was quite fortunate to tour that private collection in Bloomington, IL and play the prototype Wizard game. It's too bad it was never finished. There was also going to be one for Playboy which was the machine sitting on the left in the video during the gameplay demo but it was physically unplayable and simply flashed the Williams logo over and over.

I like the idea of hitting things, and stuff happening. For a lot of the pinball games that have come out, you don't really see that. For Spiderman (Stern) one, I really enjoy trying to beat the Sandman guy. You can really hit him over and over again.

I just don't think that idea has really come about until these. They had that Pinball 2000 Star Wars in a Wal-Mart awhile ago, and I thought holy cow that's small. Than, you think there isn't much to do, and I never played.

I met one of the guys working on the NuCore project at his home and played AFM and SW original and one with the Nucore system, it is very sweet! The NuCore pinball has a jukebox feature added He told me about meeting with Gene and some of the old WMS crew. Gene has an incredible collection of old WMS stuff. Too bad they can't get past their differences and make some more pins.

This machine is in a private collection in Illinois. It is the only one of its kind and was left in the development stage never completed

AWESOME!!! take that all you pin2000 haters, this is what could have been, had ep1 not killed it for all of us.. oh and another reason to want the the head of george lucas mounted on a spear at the tower of london

Some of the default choices kill pinball 2000 like no replays they can be turned on but they should be on by default. No ball saver in the early roms, the games felt smaller, to much on hit the screen in the games.
