AP should really be pumping out 1 or 2 new games a year. With actual known licenses. Stop trying to make your own IP you have seen that does not work to well. Spend the money please and get something

AP should be creating more buzz than one post every 2 weeks.

Calm before a small storm perhaps? Contrary to previous posts and such, Ryan is still assisting AP in finishing their next game. Hopefully we see something in the next few weeks. Time will tell…

From the videos I’ve seen AP was basically non existent at TPF. This company eased absolutely destroyed by its former captain. Making a bbq game absolutely no one wanted to a game that looks like a tank. I’ve said it before they are the ones who don’t listen to what players want. BBQ should have never been made or just limit it to 25 games. I really wanted AP to succeed but at this time I can not see them being successful. They squandered a what could have been a great TPF showcase. Guess they didn’t want to hear people talk bad about them again

I love tanks! And some of my friends owning a GTF LE absolutely enjoy it. When I first played it I was instantly hooked, the dubstep music, the scifi theme, the retro feelings and the goofy animations. And there is ice cream in it... Damn! A flying cow? WTF... It's hilarious.

For sure it's a special theme but there are people out there that enjoy something like that.

This is the price I saw in the signature edition for the show game at TPF. I bet with all cash you could have walked away with with it for $7k.

That would be tempting.

I thought the same thing.

I love tanks too. And campy sci-fi. Hell I just landed a Flash Gordon. I was super hopped up on GTF until I played it. I won’t list pros/cons again but needless to say it still appears to be a bit of a hot mess with an uncertain future.

I liked it when I played it at the Chicago show, but I wasn't a fan of the huge target bank in the middle of the PF - seemed to block a lot of the shots. And every AP I played at the show and at a nearby arcade had issues. And even now, the code isn't sorted out. So even at $8K for the signature edition (a pretty amazing price), I wouldn't bite.

While at AMOA.. the ICB remake guys said they are going to have American Pinball provide manufacturing for their games.

I just didn't have the heart to challenge him about the decision given the more recent changes. Note.. he did say AP, not Aimtron too.

More like... Opportunity lost yet again due to their inability to get the product to market when critical.

Up next they have both an Elwin release from Stern, and JJP's next game.... plus BoF will be revealing a game.

AP lost their opportunity to have a window without a ton of competition. Now they'll be facing a crowded field if they think they can stroll up to MGC and tease the game up there, etc. So after that.. there is no major event they can easily ride on. Shows like Allentown, etc aren't good for a launch. They gonna make a video again? lol..

The next 6months are a minefield.

Holy crap. The sign reads $7,000 off. Is that a typo?

Is it a new (show-only) game?

A little misleading. Nib was $15k from AP but I saw one distributor having a close out sale on NIb at $9995. I don’t think there were a lot of the 200 purchased but used or show demos for 7-8k doesn’t seem too crazy knowing their situation

Not sure if it is new. I didn’t inquire further. But it looked nice and clean.

I mean, how many plays could it possibly have on it?

Yes, it was a new out of the box Signature Edition. Pinball Traders got a special deal on these, and $8000 is an absolutely insane price for what you are getting in that package. What shocks me is how any are still available since they only made 200 of them, but I would like to think at $8,000 they might finally sell them all.

Also, not sure if people are aware of this, but the two GTFs at the show were running brand new code on them which resolved a whole series of issues. AP
Plans to release this code on their website soon.
