    No one is surprised, there was some insider info leaked awhile that suggested the franchise was problematic just because the name had "men" in it. I kid you not. I fully expect the male characters to get the Luke Skywalker treatment. I'm out. IMO it was a lazy uninspired idea to begin with Xmen 97... I'll never do the "they them". Either you are XX or XY. Simple science. I'll go back & watch the original series & Silver Surfer which was really good IMO.

    Hey on that change I'm with you 100% no idea what those parents were thinking and seeing the results now and I sure hope they are not shocked. A lot of the music from the 90s reflected it well. Have you ever heard so much whining in your life? But as a mechanic and a surfer, I had to deal with them first hand, so I'm not making this up. But, some of my best friends now are from that era as well and they were not spoiled as such.

    “comedy pins” are way too had to pull off for a mass audience. It’s simply way too easy to fall flat on your face Agree. Too many companies taking creative liberties and falling a bit flat. FF surfer dude cartoons and JJP employees as cartoon mobsters are other glaring examples. Who thinks this is funny?! :kidding:

    Board is finished. It will get shipped out along with Surfer/Surf Champ at a later date. I’m going to install it like it is, maybe have Ron Kruzman clear coat it. Colors of the plastics and pops should make it look pretty cool. Just have to find the machine…….. With shipping, believe his playfields are now in the $900 range.

    Is he close to shipping? Wasn’t too concerned about timing since I don’t even own the machine yet, just wanted to secure a playfield. Believe he mentioned that Strange World was delaying things and that Surfer / Surf Champ was a couple months away from completion. He did mention Jet Spin.

    SOLVED: Gottlieb Surfer: Ball Counter Runs Non-Stop After Draining 1st ball Post #12 in topic

    Posted 15 months ago by paulace – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 10 months ago

    Hi @stashyboy - I was using snippets from a Surfer schematic. I think at this point in the mid to late 70's, the rotating p.u. disc was the same...the p.u. doesn't have to do as much since there are only 2 players, so it would have fewer switches on the stacks, but, looking at the schematic, it has to move the same number of positions. So I think everything applies. If I'm wrong, someone will let me know. Sadly, I don't have a Surfer here at home to test theories out on...it's a good game!

    Posted 15 months ago by stashyboy – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply 10 months ago

    The op sez it's Surfer, the two player version, so that may change things in your discussion since 2 player player units are a different breed from the 4 player Surf Champ in this case.

    Posted 16 months ago by pinhead52 – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply 14 months ago

    Nope... Surfer/SurfChamp is the next Wade tittle. He still has some StrangeWorld pf's left. My humble opinion, these games have too low a production base to ever have a chance at getting reproduced. Best option is to pull your pf out and send it to a profesional.

    The Best One, Two, EM Lineup Ever? Post #3 in topic

    Posted 16 months ago by SantaEatsCheese – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply 16 months ago

    Fireball is 100% on that list. As for the number 2 I'd go between Hot Tip, Abra Cadabra, Surfer, Sure Shot, and Jungle Queen... of course my views are heavily limited by what is available to play locally and what others have been kind enough to bring to shows. I seek out Sure Shot at every pinball show. Jungle Queen/Princess taught me that just because you can blow up a Stern, it doesn't mean you can blow up an E.M. Humbling experience at my First Allentown Tournament last year.
