Cactus Canyon is a 1998 Bally Williams pinball game designed by Lyman Sheets that shipped in an unfinished state with incomplete original code. The game was remade by Chicago Gaming Company with an upgrade kit featuring new shot types, a saloon door mechanism, additional modes, and reprogrammed code by Josh Sharpe and Lyman Sheets. Originally priced around $6,700-$8,600 depending on variant, the CGC remake has experienced significant delays in upgrade kit delivery (2+ years) and mechanical reliability issues since its release.
