Notable quotes
“Lyman Sheets and Josh Sharp have been contracted to develop new and enhanced software for Cactus Canyon Remake.”
“I have a source that is telling me that this Josh Sharp-Lyman combo goes a little deeper, and that these two are now working together at Raw Thrills.”
“So Lyman left Stern for Raw Thrills? Did Lyman give up on Pinball? Is Raw Thrills getting into the Pinball game?”
“I am hearing personally, listener, that the enhanced code that they're working on is actually going to come later after the release of Cactus Canyon Remake. This is going to be a paid package upgrade.”
“why did you just not scrap the original code or just give us this and you could have done in menu settings go to the original unfinished cactus canyon code if you wanted to be nostalgic about it?”
“It's the first time that this is really going on... You didn't have somebody with the caliber of Lyman Sheets developing it for this older game and it being brought out, like you said, by a manufacturer. I think that that's a game changer.”
“with back orders at the factory estimated to be anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 units, or upwards of $30 to $50 million in orders”
“We bring in Lyman Sheets. Well, you've got to point, as much as what I say that it's different, and it is different. That was beautiful, wasn't it, Greg?”
