Who loves pinball? (moved)

[Spike Spiegel]

I played Ghost Busters and I was just unimpressed by it. The art and theme are awesome, but the play didn't do much for me.

Meanwhile, I've got a Metallica coming next week to go along with my Star Trek. Super excited. Where are you guys buying your pins and at what prices, if NIB?

Ghostbusters grows on you, I didn't like it at first but have begun to really enjoy it as I play it more. Metallica is a top 5 pin for me, congrats on getting that one

I changed the lineup again, grabbed a Spider-Man vault edition which I'm loving right now, and took a road trip to get this Addams. It's decent shape so I'm going to really do a lot to this one to dress it up.

someday i'll find thousands of dollars in my couch cushions and finally own that game. i never get tired of it

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Up to 2 now.... moving on up.

Some great additions here guys, congrats.

So let's say you had the choice of only one - TOTAN or Attack from Mars Remake - which would you go with and why?

Played Stern's new Star Wars at the MN State Fair and was pretty impressed.

Attack no question. TOTAN is fun, but doesn't have the addictive quality like Attack does for me. I like the openness of Attack as well, kinda like a good puzzle game, easy to learn hard to master. Either way, great games

 

[Tripredacus]

Agree, Attack from Mars remake.

 

[ballzdeepx]

Appreciate the responses guys, I had reached the same conclusion.
Here's the current lineup until I decide to rotate one out - but I don't see that happening any time soon.

 

[Tripredacus]

There's a Ghostbusters at a place near me where the Super Jackpot champion is over 2 billion.

 

[ballzdeepx]

Yeah with the multipliers the game can get insane from people I've talked to. I really need to get better at the game, but I enjoy it.

I'm at 4.3 billion as my high score :-) second was 2 billion, but more times then not most games are around 100-200 million until that one game comes along that I get super dialed in.

How do you like your AFMR? I'm still waiting to hear about my AFMR LE. Hopefully I have it by next month or at least early November.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Here are my two babies. I love both of these games. I used to trade a lot, but now I'm gonna try to just keep pins and never trade.



Since this pic, I've added a color DMD to the Metallica.

I just got back from a trip visiting friends in Arizona. A couple out there I know have both Judge Dredd and Tales from the Crypt. Both pins had the color screen mod, looked pretty bad-ass. I'm horrible at pinball, but it was fun none the less.

It's super fun, ball times are long, it has great flow, and the "just one more game" factor like no other. I adjusted the flippers a tad, pitch is at 6.6 and reduced the flipper and sling strength a bit and it plays perfect.

Grats on the games Spike!

 

[ballzdeepx]

Ended up trading GB towards MMr and finished doing some lighting modification. If I step into this corner of the room, I'm losing at least an hour. Its dangerous.

 

[blakeb8111]

That's an awesome setup, congrats.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Thank God for remakes. Now some of us have a snowballs chance in hell at owning those games!

Yeah no doubt, I have been very happy so far with the quality of these remakes. The move to smaller components and surface mounts is inevitable, so I suppose I'd better get setup for that at some point.
I never had the luck of having these two games anywhere near where I grew up so being able to experience them like this is like a dream come true.

 

[yzrider926]

Very nice. MMR might be by next purchase. Can't wait to finally have my AFMR, hopefully sooner than later.

Are those your only 2 pins? If so how do you feel they compare? I know layout is similar, but theme and code I'm sure set them apart.

 

[Westcb]

Did a lot of work to the Adam family, replaced lots of targets did some graphic mods, small lighting effects, rebuilt flippers, changed out all speakers and custom power coated the armor.

Also just got a LED Color DMD to try in it. It’s definitely brighter then my LCD color dmd in the spiderman. Viewing angle is amazing but on the LCD you do get those extra visual options so hard to say which I would put in GB when it becomes available but since the LED is the same form factor as a regular DMD I’m guessing I’ll use that so it will sit flush.

Gotta sell some cabs as I pickup a Star Wars premium from a pin show next month but I imagine I won’t keep that one long with some of these new pin announcements.

 

[HDRchampion]

Anybody got experience or have Virtual Pinball cab?

 

[Tripredacus]

I have played them before. They lack depth and if you really notice how flat everything is, you'll hate it.
