    Well there is a company in Austrailia who is promising to do a run of Wizard Blocks. However, This company has made alot of bold promises and not followed through so I wouldnt hold my breath. Also the game was incomplete and so was the game software incomplete. Could it be made? Yes. But it would take a long time.

    I am not sure how many of the Wizard Blocks are in existance. I do know that Gene Cunningham has ONE of these. But considering the fact that the game is incomplete, and in whiteboard stage, I would assume that its the ONLY one there is.

    Well, we do have much better odds now than we ever did. Nucore is probably going to ship in Feb and that gives us an all new computer platform for Pinball 2000. I am going to snap it up right away for my Revenge From Mars that has a shady motherboard that sometimes doesn't boot on the first flip. It uses the original media with a new application layer over Linux with much improved appearance and function. You can run RFM and SWE1 in one box as well as a jukebox and other functions. If the ROMs just leak for Wizard blocks then building a playfield is not impossible. Now, will Gene give a nice gift to the community or will he hoard it like the marble madness 2 guy?

    Thx. Nice find.
    Its interesting to see what people are saying about WB.
    I think with the creation of Nucore there is a very real possibility of WB being completed.
    Hopefully I wont have to pull the vid lets see what happens.

    well i had to ask and start looking then found out i was correct about the right arm theory might have to chuck in a kidney and my unborn too as i just found the wizzard blocks playfield came up for 20k so i dread the price of the only machine in existance that Gene had for playing purpuses recently at his clearout sale !!!
