Chicago Gaming Company:
Medieval Madness
Attack from Mars
Monster Bash
Cactus Canyon (trickling out slower than anticipated due to production issues or something)

Gottlieb made a modern version of El Dorado called El Dorado City of Gold

Gene Cunningham made 110 units of Big Bang Bar, the cancelled Capcom pin. More are rumored to be in development.

Haggis Pinball re-released Fathom. They also did a Mermaid edition with updated rules.

Jersey Jack has gone back and rereleased their old games before. Wizard of Oz, mostly.

Stern does Vault editions of their old games sometimes.

A rich guy came across the design documents for an unproduced Capcom pinball machine called Big Bang Bar. And he took preorders for 110 units. And he ended up taking a loss on the project, but he kept his word and delivered anyway. What a nice guy! Thank you Gene Cunnigham.

I guess none of these stories really qualify as development hell. Forget it!

Big Bang Bar is a prototype that was never made when Capcom decided to stop making pinball machines. But then a rich man named Gene Cunningham happened upon a bunch of documentation for the game in an estate sale and decided to make it himself. He made 110 units and sold them for $6000 dollars or something. It turns out making pinball was harder than he knew and he lost a lot of money he didn't expect to lose, but he kept his word and everyone got their game and the majesty of BBB was seen at last. Give it up for Gene, a true pinball hero.

This game has an alien pole dancer that moves around, and some singing aliens that lock balls in their mouths for a multiball.
