I played it in Italy when I was there for a few days (is Capcom
European?). I enjoyed it a lot mostly because of the dot matrix
animations and quotes. The playfield has just a few drop targets and a
couple of kickouts or something, and a goal which is activated
sometimes. I had a lot of fun but I don't know about its fun
longevity. Mail me if you want more info.
Your friend and mine,

I personally found the game a lot of fun. I don't know how long it would
have held my interest, but then that's purely subjective.
One thing I will say though, the dots in this game were **awesome**,
producing animations the likes of which have never been bettered IMO.
It's a shame Capcom went under, because they were streaking up the
field, and doing it quickly! A great shame they didn't hold out longer.
Perhaps BBB coould have turned it around for them.
Anyone got any shots of the Capcom electronic hardware? I've still never
seen inside the backbox of one of their games.

I don't have any photos, but I own a BreakShot and the
boards are beautiful.
In fact (IMO) the total build quality of Capcom's pinball
machines are excellent.
I noticed a little 'cartoon' screened on the main CPU
board the other day that looks something like:

PHUTZ WAS HERE
I know I'm misspelling "PHUTZ" -- I'm at work and can't
check this at the moment. I forget the guy's real name,
but I think I've seen posts from him here on RGP. Someone
will correct me, I'm sure.

Pfutz is the nickname of William (Bill) Pfutzenreuter. I'm
not sure where he got that nickname from. ;-)
He (had?) has a page at http://people.ce.mediaone.net/pfutz/index.htm

I had mucho fun playing it--it's a competitive game.

I got it from my father, who was (retired) a salesman at Sears. He was
tired of explaining/correcting and helping people pronounce
"foots-in-roy-ter". He needed a easy name for people to remember, and
one that identify him in a crowd of sales-people. Hence Pfutz
(pronounced "foots"), the first part of our last name, but my father
spelled it foots. I use it because there are too many Bill's or
William's. I still get a few stares/questions when I announce my Pfutz
name, some people guess that it is some form of "fetish" nickname. But
for those people who are brave enough to ask, I will gladly
explain.....

time...

I am at 3Com (I was at U.S. Robotics for 3 days, until 3Com bought
it...) "modeming around". My first released project (other people
worked on it too) was the USB "ready" modem. It took a long time for
the USB to be ready... Know of any good windows device driver
programmers?

Hopefully there are no down sizing xmas presents. Maybe it is the same
old business roller coaster. Videos popular / Pins not. Pins popular /
Videos not. I am interesting in hearing about the pinball 2000 series,
or maybe WMS will go "hibernate" its pins for a couple of years...
When I first started at WMS (back in '81, DANGER: flash back in
progress) pins were mostly dead (remember Varkon, the pin that wanted
to look like a video?), but about 4 years later the popularity
increased.
The ultimate decision(s) is up to WMS.
