C'mon man, that's a story as old as Pong - literally. Pull the other one.

Nice article mate - a good read ! I see:
Mark Turmell: “I did a special version of the game (NBA JAM) with the three of them in it (Jordan, Payton etc). I sent that to Payton. I was happy to do it, but it was pretty early in his career. It wasn’t even clear it was the right move.”
Still no word on the elusive Michael Jordan Rom he said he was going to dump on Reddit!

Still waiting....(with baited breath)...LOL !

I had the same reaction, but further down it says they had operators asking for larger cash boxes that would fit the machine. So this could be a real thing.
