Fireball and El Dorado Screenshots

[Pinballwiz45b]

Man, I really miss doing these on this forum. Oh, the excitement of seeing the new tables in digitized form.

 

[Trackball]

I still wonder why they decided to release El Dorado twice.

Oh well. I keep hearing Fireball was fantastic for its time. Looking forward to playing it.

Now let's hope there wasn't some hangup with the Rescue 911 license...

People complained that they chose the SS remake of El Dorado instead of the EM original... even though the two games play the same.

I think they mainly decided on it because it would be easy to make.

because now we finally have the real one
the question is why they released fugly SS in the first place

It may have been a question of which version they could get their hands on at the time, the prices people were asking for each version, and possibly not understanding which version of the classic table layout is the best.

Because that's the version that was in PHOF:TGC.

The Gottlieb version of Pinball Hall of Fame was their first product and (IMHO) had some of the oddest choices of pins.

It had a fair bit of 1980s Gottlieb which in my opinion is not their most inspiring era. And even considering that, some of the choices (like Goin' Nuts) were very strange.

Central Park and Ace High at least are probably representative of their era, but I get the impression the most memorable Gottliebs to many are the 1970s EMs. Of which only one (Big Shot) was included.

Same basic layout. Different rules, sound and art. The EM version should play a bit slower and have weaker flippers based on my experience. But yes, very similiar.

Well, they've released Pin*Bot twice and High Speed Twice. Both titles I've mentioned have similar designs, but enough new features to warrant bringing out the newer versions.

If there was a hang-up with the R911 license, I hope we get Gladiators instead. Or better yet, Surf N' Safari.

Or best yet (dream alert!) - Demo-freakin'-lition Man!

Extork seems to have great taste. IMO, Devil's Dare should have been done instead of Haunted House. He's mentioned some true gems, like EBD, Police Force, Monopoly, Cactus Jack's among many others.

I wonder what, if anything, would need to be scrubbed to get World Cup in TPA. Like how so much was sanitized in No Fear for license purposes. (Didn't affect that one to much in my view.)

Wow! Noice list! My top 10 of you picks no order ^ (excluding what I think is sure) Your wish should be granted eventually on all the Sterns in the separate app, right?

 

[Extork]

Thanks guys, that was just a rough list that I made a while back. The one I want the most out of all of those is Congo. How has it not been made yet? Also I think Fire! Would be amazing. And why in the world did I put X's and O's in there? Maybe just for something different, along the lines of Spectrum. Speaking of something different, I think there's a bunch of us who have been holding out for some older tables like Fireball and ED. Just sayin, it's nice to see something different.

*as far as Devil's Dare goes, I've had a few games on one, and it's surprisingly fun. So if it got made for a Halloween table, that would be fine with me. Still need Freddy and TFTC first

*1 more thing, with Transporter being so rare, it would fit in perfectly. I've never once seen/heard someone say 'man i'd hate to see Transporter' get made. I don't think FS is running out of good tables to make as much as people might think. Although, that's probably a tough table to get their hands on, still

Lol my thought exactly
[MENTION=2241]Extork[/MENTION] + everybody else, what are some other EMs you would want?

I bet we get 2 more 2 packs, they have Jive Time and Ace is High to work with it seems (cough Sorcerer cough) What would pair with these well?

 

[Trackball]

You take that back. I adore Jack-Bot--especially after Bowen Kerins' awesome tutorial.

The Getaway is absolutely different enough to be a different game. Supercharger, baby!

Not to mention, the addition of a DMD expands rule possibilities immensely and makes games far different than their predecessors. EDCOG just added an extra ball at the lower drop targets.

Well, whatever. Still looking forward to these two. And their release brings us closer to TX-Sector.

ask Jeff. And for real, Sorcerer. Really fun sounds and layout, and pretty much everything

Just off the top of my head, Four Million B.C. Would be a welcome addition

High Hand and Fast Draw would be two dream EM's for me.
