Request Who wants Bram Stokers Dracula to be this years Halloween table?

[Gus]

I like Victory a lot. Nice variety in shots and interesting scoring rules. It's a nice change to the modes and lock-> mb -> jackpot routine of many other tables. Too bad it looks low res and the audio is crappy (as in most Gottliebs). Still feels like a good TPA addition imo.

El Dorado does get annoying after a while though, as it has like three sound effects as its entire sound library. There are EMs with greater sound variety. Was that an early solid-state? Was that all the sound its memory could hold?

I think it was Gottlieb being el-cheapo. El Dorado: City of Gold was a mid 1980s rehash of a mid 1970s EM (called El Dorado, natch). They did a few other EM rehashes in the mid 1980s which to me sounds like they were hit by the arcade crash hard.

Put it this way: El Dorado City of Gold was released the same year as Space Shuttle (Space Shuttle is the only pinball game in 1984 that moved >5000 units).

I'm betting the EM version of El Dorado would've been less annoying in the sound department.

Give me "Goin Nuts" any day of the week over "El Dorado".

I'm still wondering why Farsight even bothered with it?

Is it historically significant in some way? It has its own TV Tropes page whereas stuff like Haunted House and Cactus Canyon don't.

 

[Crawley]

There's been so many different themed versions of El Dorado so its a popular layout. I'd wish they done the Target Alpha version of it which looks nicer and doesn't have the annoying "drums" playing.

The Canada Dry version is out of the question too, I presume.

All right, so it IS a historically significant table. I think its inclusion is justified then, though if what you guys say is true, there were better versions to choose. Maybe this was the easiest one to obtain.

or with it being a Solid State it was cheaper to emulate rather than script :/ Unless Farsight were more open about their intentions to release more of the same system 80(A) games it's all going to be a matter of speculation.

One would think that with the inclusion of an emulated HH and ED, both system 80(A), that BH would have been redone relatively quickly ... however there is an idiom regarding assumptions that is alluding me right now

It was originally done for their Pinball Hall of Fame collection on the older consoles. Thus the work was already done and they could release it as a second table with minimal effort. I would have preferred the EM version myself.

From all accounts, "El Dorado" and "Goin Nuts" are tied for the least liked tables from TPA.

I literally lost track of how many complaints I've seen about both tables.


Now back to "Dracula"....

Ugh.

You know what I meant. lol

 

[lettuce]

LOL, maybe that's the Stern table were getting this season and BSD is never coming to TPA..........imagine the horror!!

That is a really great run down of the table Dokken.......

(Thought I'd repost it in a video player for more people to enjoy)

 

[Tales from the Crypt !!]

I hope we get B.s. Dracula this season ..and i hope when they make it they make the table they give it somewhat a darker setting for the old consoles so you can see the lights better,There is 3 more tables that know one knows yet that are still coming and one of them is a Stern table so only 2 really so keep your fingers crossed

 

[Espy]

I like the fact that the main aim of the machine is to stack multiballs. Sounds like fun.

 

[Father Time]

If they can get Freddy then no, that should be Halloween and Dracula should be released ASAP.

If they can't then... I'm not sure . I'd still rather have it sooner.

Why not throw this in as a bonus .I wouls not mind having this too

I really don't like Goin Nuts. El Dorado is better than I thought it would be.

I love El Dorado. There's a real old school appeal behind sniping drop targets

Yep. Judging by what people were saying on here I figured I wouldn't like it.
