Request for history of Pro Pinball through the years...

[db10-1Propin]

Ade, I know you are very busy but it would be good to hear the story of Pro Pinball from the business side of things. What happened to the original rights? What became of Empire? Who has used the physics engines other than for PP tables (I understand Slam Tilt Resurrection used it?) - that sort of thing. I see on Amazon PP tables packaged up in so many permutations and distributors it sends you dizzy keeping track.

Just a few brief history notes on the journey PP has made since it's original inception and your control of it, through the time it was out in the wilderness and your recent recapturing of the rights back home.

It would make for a very interesting read for us all.

Sounds like a great idea.
Let's hope Adrian finds time to give a succint answer.

I would love to reprint the history of ProPinball on my blog

I would also find this very interesting. Have spent quite some time searching the web(!) for info like this in the past.

If someone does this, they should also consider writing a page for Hardcore Gaming 101. The site has very detailed articles for all sorts of old gaming series (including various pinball games), but absolutely nothing on Pro Pinball. Some of the articles have interviews with the creators so we could ask Ade for one, too.
I think I might want to take part doing this, but I haven't played The Web and BRUSA enough to write about them in detail.

Here's some of their articles for an example.

That's a great suggestion, though please be patient, we have many balls in the air right now.
