Bring on White Water!

[David Smith]

Would love to see WhiteWater. It's a great table.

 

[Kevlar]

Yea, no crap. What a collection.

Have you watched all his vids? he's quite entertaining and very knowledgable. Pity he had to move and leave that basement behind, most of his tables are boxed up atm.

 

[HOW]

+1 for WH2O (to give it it's proper acronym )

And I guess most know that Bigfoot is modelled on the game's designer Dennis Nordman!

LOL - Andy

 

[Jeff Strong]

Ha, his real beard is so well-groomed in that pic on the right that it almost looks fake

One more vote for WW! I think the design and lay-out will work very well for the tablets, like FunHouse for example. Personally I don't think that Monster Bash works too well on a tablet. Too many small details with jaggies, hard to see what's going on.

Yea. I've seen them. I'm jealous.

This guy has a lot of tables I'd like to see released on TPA

What a collection, though I think he was stupid to get rid of a STTNG, AFM, Star Wars Ep. I, Cirqus Voltaire, Cyclone, BK2K, and MB (unless they were in REALLY bad shape). He also has a Big Bang Bar reproduction, and gives a review of it. Amazing that someone so young could have such an impressive collection. Must be an internet millionaire. There are a few other guys with impressive collections on Youtube, particularly guys going by the names of tattyadams and pinballmike. Every time I look up a table I want to see, one of those two pops up as having it in their personal collection.

Before the first internet bubble of early 2000's when a lot of young people suddenly got lucky rich by being a codemonkey at the right place and time regular people could buy these games. Once foolish millionaires and Ebay met it was game over for the rest of us.

I turned down a good condition Addams Family in 1997 that was being taken off location by the route operator. He saw me playing it all the time and we talked as he was pulling it and he said he would shop it and take it to my house with a liftgate truck, for *$1900* Of course I didn't have it. Popped by his warehouse that was running out of room and could have taken my pick of almost any system 11 game for $750, think he wanted $1200 for Funhouse though.

All I ended up with was a pre-production Whirlwind diamond plate test game. I could kick myself for not grabbing a Cyclone, Earthshaker and Diner for $2000 at the same time.....$2000 for ALL 3.

Its possible these guys got their games when they were nearly new for a song. Well, sub $2k for most of the games just 3 or 4 years old.

If interested there are at least 3 Medieval Madness machines on Ebay right now, one as cheap as $16000 for an opening bid.

I can see it without issues, but here's the link to the original if you're having difficulties:

Whitewater - PAPA 14 Qualifying (Roy Wils)

 

[Fuseball]

Wow! Amazing play there Roy. Whitewater is one of the few games that I've never owned or had on loan. One day....

Thanks, I still can't see the original vid, I'm on my iPhone tho.

Just go to pinball.org and click on videos. Scroll down the LONG list to Whitwater. They're three Whitewater videos. Roy's is the middle one. You can watch them on an iphone but they lower the resolution for some reason. The vids are clearer on a computer screen.

@roy_wils

good stuff!

now i know where i remeber your nick (tommycyberroy) from... -> the xbox360 leaderboards

 

[FREE PLAY]

I'd also love to see White Water! It's my all time favorite pinball. Twilight Zone is number two.

 

[BlindSpider11]

Very true, both have a similar theme.

White Water and Fish Tales would be an incredible 2-pack.

 

[Franky]

Right, this would be AMAZING - White Water and Fish Tales.
