Where exactly do we begin?
The MONOPOLY Pinball project was started in September 2000, when Gary Stern approached Pat
Lawlor at the AMOA trade show. Gary had a few licenses available to him, and one of
them was the MONOPOLY game. Would we be interested in designing a pin based on that?
We all wanted to do another traditional pinball, and
the theme was a no-brainer. It's friendly, known all over the world around, and
Hasbro was very receptive to the idea of a full-sized MONOPOLY pinball.
Everyone from Stern and PLD sat down in November of 2000 to begin the process.
Dates were negotiated, a schedule was built, and we hit the ground running.
Oh yes, the schedule.
