Notable quotes
“At $5,250, Tony, do you think Americans will buy this game?”
“I think the 5250 will be the real price for Kelts... We're getting close to hitting that spot where we'll finally move on and have it equal”
“So there's so much like new stuff also competing for people's dollars. Because you can already go and get, Deadpools are around $5,000, home use only... These are games that aren't even two years old.”
“I think Attack from Mars is the greatest game of the 90s. Well, the 90s are done, so I can always say that forever, and I know it's true.”
“I would like to see a game more akin to some of the older games... uses some of the newer technology that we have to give it some modernization while still being play and display a throwback”
“Stern rumors and the Jersey Jack rumors always seem to come true. Everything else, you never know.”
“No. I said a lot of words, and you basically killed it with one word, so let's pretend you said yes.”
