If they got to the point where they could get 90000 by putting in another 10k themselves, then that's probably what happened. Yeah, they're on the hook, but they're paying themselves, so they're just out transaction/kickstarter fees.
It'll be interesting to see how this one develops.
The thing is, they've made what-two machines digitally with Farsight? I have to think that licensing is their biggest issue here, but there's probably very little for Stern to lose by having a digital version of their games available day 1. How many people are going to take a $10 digital...
You'd think they'd at least take the glass off and take the loose hulk arm out of there and stick it in the cabinet or something...
There's a reason we haven't had a TOPL night at Playdium in years.
Re: FS - TZ Twilight Zone - $6200 (pics up)
Look at it this way-you can always make more money, and you can usually find more space, but how likely are you to find another Twilight Zone?
Problem is that there were lots of them made, but how many are beat beyond repair? How many got cannibalized for parts? I have a feeling that since the game did so well on route, it got played to death.
Did you check voltages at the flipper coils? If all the physical bits are moving normally, then wouldn't it make sense that the voltage at the coil was getting pulled down by something else, causing it to not pull as hard (or not at all)? Now, I'm not sure what would cause that (or why it'd be...
Yes, the TZ home roms have a pause built in. Cradle the ball and push the buy in button, and it'll hold for up to 15 minutes. Neat idea, but if it's going to damage things, not something I'd use for long periods of time.
You could just keep a piece of painter's tape handy and use that to...
Heh... A pin... It certainly starts that way, doesn't it?
I still have a small collection of consoles, but really it's just the stuff I play (or played) and never got rid of. TOPL is definitely a great option-depending on where in the GTA you are, we play anywhere from as far west as...
I've always bought that kind of stuff from pinball life-if you put the word out that you're doing an order, I'm sure there are others who would want to get in on splitting shipping.
Check out http://replayfx.org/ for more info. Looks like the PAPA folks are going to grow the tournament into a full on show, and incorporate the match play tournament into it. July 30-August 2 2015. PInburgh field grows to 700 players, and a $100000 prize pool!
Yes, it does have a problem detecting hits-you'll notice that not every direct shot to the ringmaster will register. The upgraded board has an auto adjust feature on it. I've thought about buying it before, but it's never bothered me that much. It's a problem maybe 15% of the time.
Never seen that problem with the magnet on mine. I've had the wireform just a little out of whack which made the ball divert down there without the magnet, but the magnet has never failed to catch the ball there. The ringmaster magnet is a different story that fails to grab the ball maybe 30%...
If you need one, I actually have a spare pinbits juggler guard. I ordered one a while back, forgetting that there was one in the coinbox that the previous owner had removed (and that I'd never gotten around to installing).
Are you talking about the ball falling off the acrobats wireform...
The purple armor is kind of neat actually-I thought about doing that to mine, but it's a little pricey. I kind of go back and forth on the game-sometimes I want to sell it while the price is up there and get another A-lister, but then I play it some more and realize that I'd never get another...
Moved a bunch of stuff around in the basement last night to make some more space. By moving the MAME to the end of the room and shifting all the pins around, I was able to make space for another game or two. It's amazing how just changing the position of a game can make a difference. After...
