    34:58 in fact, cactus Kenya was so loved that they made two remakes when it comes to the game code one of them is altered by Chicago Company, and those two remakes are cactus Canyon continued and cactus Canyon remake

Chicago Company saw that cactus Canyon was made by Williams, but it was pretty rushed and the code did not get finished properly so Chicago games decided to update the code still remain its core elements and update it they did

    @requiem1123 3 місяці тому

    Is there a constructive reason why head to head pinball didn't do quite good? All I got from this was that people simply "didn't care enough". Though, the initial tables being bland and poorly marketed could be a factor. But does a 2-player pinball table have any limitations to its gameplay?

    • @bralex2670
      @bralex2670 3 місяці тому

      Eh, I would say it was just too weird and/or expensive to produce. A lot of gimmicky pinball machines never did well for one or both of those reasons.

  • @christopherthomasorr
    @christopherthomasorr 3 місяці тому

    First, I want to say that you did an overall good job on the series. That said, there are few things that should be corrected. I'm unsure if this is your voice or an AI script reader, but 'pseudo,' 'R.I.P.,' 'Bally,' and 'Gottlieb' aren't pronounced correctly in any of the four videos. It's a little odd to have history videos on a subject and mispronounce two of the largest players in the industry. Kind of like Bill and Ted introducing their class to 'So-Crates.' Also, Gottlieb had their first solid-state game in December of 1977, a month before Zaccaria released their first solid-state in January of 1978. You also misrepresented David Gottlieb as someone who was making gambling machines. He was vehemently opposed to making any kind of payout machines that could be considered gambling. It was a constant argument that he had with his competitor and friend, Raymond Moloney, who ran Bally. His opposition came from his deeply held religious views, the same that made his company a great place to work. Also, Gottlieb, while no longer in its heyday, wasn't struggling when Coke acquired Columbia. They were coming out of 1982 with two of their biggest sellers, Q Bert and Haunted House. Mylstar Electronics was just corporate idiots that thought a name change would make that division cool with the kids. Remember, this was the same corporate board that thought New Coke was needed less than two years later. Then you had the video game crash of 1983 and the implosion of home gaming and neighborhood arcades. Coke bought Columbia Pictures for the movies, so selling off Mylstar made sense to them. This means that Mysltar never changed its name to Premier. Investors who bought the assets of Mylstar came up with the name Premier for their new company and their company had the rights to the Gottlieb name.

    • @bralex2670
      @bralex2670 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the input. And yeah I do say things funny sometimes don't worry I know. I didn't mean to portray Gottlieb like he loved gambling, it just turned out that a lot of people used pinball thay way early on. I tried to personify the companies to try to detatch any negative aspects (like gambling) but I probably could've done better with gottlieb the guy and gottlieb the company.
