So I actually made a pinball thing! I wanted to set up IC on all my spike2 games, but didn't want to buy a kit for all of them. The features are cool, but not $700 cool. Ended up doing it for a $25 switch, 2 $12 microSD cards, and some reused ethernet cable. I designed and printed a bracket...

I guess it has been about 10 years. They're definitely not new to this, but I remember they were showing the prototypes at shows several years back. I always thought it looked super cool, but I've never played one. I always wondered how it'd shoot, given that there's basically nothing on the...

I'm honestly a little surprised that this hasn't happened sooner. Stern could keep selling runs of existing games (Godzilla, Elvira, Deadpool, JP etc) that have the engineering and code work done already. If you can sell out of those, 3 new games a year seems a little excessive. 2 is a little...

Is this a new location, or did the pint just change names again? Hopefully location games there do well once people are back downtown doing stuff.

Maintenance is actually pretty straightforward, especially on newer games. You'll probably need to learn some basics, but there's lots of resources online. I'd suggest joining a league, but everything is still shut down for covid. Those will give you the best chance to play a whole lot of...

I'd probably be interested if I hadn't just traded my CV away. Fun game, but it was time to move on to something I'd play more often. Elvira is something I'd like to dig into a little more though. Seemed a little simple at first, but I think the code updates really helped it. Seems like it...

What's a Ghostbusters premium even worth these days? Funny-I still think of that as a "new" game, but I just checked the receipt, and I got mine Dec 2016. The new code took a long time to get here, but it made the game better. I'm also surprised that the magna slings never got used anywhere...

That was actually more detailed than I expected, and it's a neat project. Replacing/re-creating a bunch of the internal logic is impressive, and it looks like it'd actually be a playable game (albeit very low to the ground). The metal studs on the outside were also a neat touch, although...

So he did end up selling both items. The shop dust collector ended up staying with the house, and the pool table went for $1000. Kind of a shame, but there's just not the demand these days.

I've just got my games straight on the carpet. No need to have extra coasters on them. Yeah, they'll leave dents, but anything heavy will, and it means that if I move something, I know exactly where it goes back to be level again :)

The pro definitely looks reasonable-I'm liking this trend of the pro version not missing complete shots on the last couple of games. The lack of the back VUK changes the flow a little, but the physical vs virtual lock behind the targets doesn't look like it'll matter much. The up/down ramp...

I miss seeing all of Mike's pin moving pics on here :)

Really? I thought the top flipper was better than the top left one on Maiden. There's a good upper loop shot from it that you can repeat, and you can also get the ball down to the tail whip shot. Retro video is fun, and it's neat that they had the option for Japanese voice clips as well...

I managed to get Godzilla online last night, and I found a few things that might be helpful: -If you get a used game, make sure the old owner unregisters it from their profile. Once that's done you can claim it. Glad this was built into the system (it very easily could have been "original...

Traded for this yesterday. Wasn't really considering it before I played it at P1, but I really like Elwin games: I blame Teolis for pointing out that the Pro and Premium are basically identical from a gameplay POV, which is the only reason I considered the pro. I definitely want to see how...

Probably a few reasons: -Shadow is a reasonably rare title. There were a lot of those that were trashed for parts, and a lot that were just trashed because it's a game from 1994. It got "rediscovered" by the collector/player community, so it's a desirable title. Now, part of that was because...

It'll be either Budweiser or Canadian at Luch's place.

Last I talked to Jerry he was saying Q1, but there are many people interested. Get in touch if you want to be on the list. Sounds like they can't keep anything in stock these days.

Welcome to the new obsession! Best advice I can give you is to get out and play more games. Leagues/tournaments are slowly starting to come back, so you might want to check out the London and maybe Tri-cities leagues (K/W/Cambridge) depending on how far you want to travel. There are some...
