Even later to the party! I have been on these forums for 10 years, and was sad to hear it was closing. I only heard today (through Jared in discord) that the forum is still active, so am very pleased to see it again. Thanks Grant for stepping in!
Agreed that a great table. I saw a real one in pristine condition in a retro shop in France near the Geneva border about 3-4 years ago. It was only about 1100 euros but at the time I wasn't sure if I was staying in the country so I couldn't buy it. I am kicking myself to this day.
In the...
I really like the Funhouse and Space Station recreations. In a cabinet the colours of Funhouse look really realistic (not cartoony). When the lights in Space Station dim out and flashers go on when locking a ball, etc. the table looks great. It just shows what can be achieved with better...
Thanks for confirming. That is interesting then as Barnstorm must be in contact with you, whereas there has been no communication to Kickstarter supporters for over 2 years now, people who invested sometimes in excess of £100/120 euros. They obviously won't be delivering the rewards but as...
From what I remember of seeing the Brady Bunch in the UK when I was very young, the man had 3 boys and the woman had 3 girls. That tells me that the bed never got much use as they never produced any kids together. I guess they were two knackered bringing up six kids. Not really relevant to...
I would highly recommend Dozer's tables. One of my 'always go back to' tables of his is RoboWar.
As you can see from the video the lighting (and gameplay) is outstanding. The sounds effects are also incredible. I love this SS era.
I have always thought that the mobile table 'Revenge of...
Great score :cool:
I find this is the case on a real MM that I play - probably even tougher on a real one than in the FX3 MM
In fact on most real pins I play in France it is always super difficult to get a ball up the table particularly to the top. I have always wondered if that's because of...
I can fully understand the concerns about the money side. When I built my pinball cabinet I remember trying to source secondhand pinball parts or an old cab but it wasn't easy (in Europe at least) to find any at reasonable prices. Even knackered old cabs on eBay went for a kings ransom.
In...
That's a nice batch of parts you have there - particularly love that door - you must use that! :) I really like the old worn battered rustic look, more so than a brand new polished look. Plus as this is your first attempt you can afford to take chances. Not sure about what you can do about...
Although I have name in my arcade cab, specifically for Asteroids I use the AAE emulator which is a special build of MAME if my memory serves me right. It does a great job of recreating that unique bright trailing blur thing you describe:
It is the closest to a real machine I have...
Hey shutyertrap, I listened to the 150th podcast (great listen btw) and your description of a Pinbox reminded me of something that someone built over on the VP forums. It has a lockdown, coindoor, etc. It might give you some inspiration...
Some interesting observations on the Beta 4 build on Spacies Arcade:
Initially I was contented with the beta 4 version, however after seeing the real Fish Tales footage here, I also feel some future tweaking is needed in Zen (as raised by Greg). Not sure what others think?
I have to say...
