Hmm, is here somebody who wants to know how good RGR plays?
Hmm, not me!

in the last few weeks there was not one single post from you with a point that would make any sense for me. I always read how bad AC/DC is, how good WOZ will be......boring

Somebody posts something small negative about this pin and you jump on it, and it becomes an elephant. Perhaps WOZ is your holy grail it is not mine. For me there is no pefect pin. You said once that if WOZ will be bad....pinball for you is finished.
Perhaps after reading all your posts from the last month it is time for you to take a step away from this hobby. Pinballs are there for fun, nothing more nothing less. I don't believe there could be a game that could fullfill your dreams, that would be the last game ever build. there would be no need for a next pinball if there is a perfect one.

Every game will have flaws but for me, from what I saw, AC/DC will be what i want from it.
I don't know if that means that I am blind? But i do know that I will have fun playing it. I will have the fun that you have lost long ago.
I don't need perfection, I don't need something complete new. I just want a AC/DC pin that gives me fun playing it. It don't have to be the best ever, and the score I will put on it is absolut unimportant.

I feel sorry for you.

To everyone that will buy one or get the chance to play an AC/DC pinball. Keep on rockin', I wish you all a helluva good time with it. Good nite from germany.

We really don't care what you say anymore !

RGR ,, Seem's like You would like AC/DC ,, The members All moved Down-under @ 1 tyme and meet each other there , They Started the Band in Aust-.. I Heard that The main Aussie Dealer ordered an X-Tra 3 Cargo load's of the AC/DC Pin because of it's Popularity .. But I Hope Yr WRONG !! If I feel my Premium is a Keeper after a couple Mth's , I'll sell 1 of my other Keeper's.. And I like Turkey .. I have No Beef w/ You .. You Just like to Stir tha Pot......

I like beef stew.

ACDC is ok. I played it at Pinnburgh. It's just that for $6700-7500 I'm looking to be knocked flat, to be given something I haven't seen before, something new and revolutionary, to see envelopes pushed, boxes thought outside of, etc.

I didn't feel that or see that with ACDC. I did have fun, and thought it was a good time. Music sounded good, though a little flat in the reactivity dept, a little too jukeboxy. Shots and layout feels like a Ritchie, maybe too much. The cannon feels a little stale with the button, all the old gun handle cannons with a trigger feel much better. And asthetically, major problems when you factor in Ritchie's insistence that he had no cost contraints on this game.

The cannon cover? Horrific looking, totally phoned in. Ever see Matt's POTC cannons? I want to see something like that, with a tiny recoil coil effect when shot. I mean, is that unreasonable when you hear the insistence of no cost constaints? Like maybe hire a real artist to do the playfield art? Wireform returns? Wireform anywhere at all? So many things don't add up to Ritchie's statement, as well as what my expectations were for a $7000 2012 pinball machine.

That's not to say it's not a fun machine (I mean it's an ACDC pinball machine!) but for the price, for the hype, etc... I can't say I was impressed. Sorry. RGR may not be saying it diplomatically or eloquently, but I feel where he's coming from.

"Cant we all just get along???"

Yes we can !! But when My Prem- arrives ,, I Will Have a Thread show-n The delivery, Me Opening the Box.. Sett-n It up,, and a Game play.. If I see a Neg- comment from you,, I'm Gonna catch a flight to Sydney, Aust- & Find you...........

A Rt-Trip Ticket to Sydney would cost ,, what 2k... I doubt it bro... Would Love to see yr Country tho.

If I were You ,i wouldn't talk about Stern 4-a While ,, especially AC?DC ,, Let Us All Get Our's and Play it for a month .. I'm Sure another Thread Will Pop up, with the Good & Bad.. I got 10 or 11 play's on it in Texas,, I liked it , Except for the SDTM from the bell, but a New Post & rubber will take care of that..

Aren't Ya'll Having some Kinda war down there rite now ?

Good !! No war , Awesome ,, Can You even own a Gun Legally in Aust- now ? Pinside need's a Live Chat-box !! I wonder how many Donation's that would Take ..

Hello fellow pinballers. I'm Johnny from Melbourne at the arse end of Australia and for a living I make signs and stickers and do graphics on the computer and whilst I'm sitting here in my shed typing to you the biggish(1360 wide material)printer inside is printing stickers for the Jimmy Little Foundation which was organised by the drummer of The Angels (also boss of JLF). now the Angels are like secondary to ACDC in Australia, sort of like a Pepsi to a Coke. Anyway, they are good. Myself I can't play any instrument but I know ACDC are the best or perhaps Led Zep but I can play pinball and so can my mate Nashy. I have a LTBRLE arriving on the 17th of this month! and since the deposit was paid a month ago I have searched for every bit of info on the web and would like to say you should design a pinny RGR and I can't wait for my Ackadacka pinny(like you BR)

During the launch party I attended with some of the top players in the world in attendance noone put up more than 150 million. Your score sounds unlikely, or maybe your game is set up improperly, which could kill the fun of any game.

from what Ive seen the new Ackadacka pinny looks pretty hard and fast. I have a pinball machine already(in the longe room) its a "Shark" by Hankin. We used to love playing it after school but I can play the pinnies pretty fast but I'm worried ACDC may be too quick and sap my confidence. I am determined to get used to it but it seems lately they add new cdroms and stuff so..... here goes....

I disagree. I Like a lot of the stern games from the last 10 years. There have been countless mediocre pinballs over the last 50 years. Stern only makes a few a year and are subject to far more scrutiny then games were in decades past.

If you have it on 5 ball no $hit. 450 million has me questioning the whole store, no way! Come up with a better number and I might buy it.

DirtyDeeds , Glad to hear you have a LTBRLE almost there !! Enjoy it brother , It's a Fun & Fast Pin w/ the Best Rock Music in Pinball History .. B_R

I played 3 games on the pro yesterday.121,540,990.Pretty good I think,got my initials up.Not gonna give a review.Just play it and draw your own conclusions/opinions.Scott

Very well said.

I'm in on JPop's Zombie pin, and I'm hoping that he really tries some new and inventive ideas. I know he says that he wants new blood in the hobby as well.

Thanks BR, we are nearly there! Looking forward to exchanging notes once we get our pinnies up and running.
Cheers!, Johnny

A consumer base of collectors which cannot and won't sustain the industry forever....at these prices

Still playing the hell outa my LE and loving it! High score somewhere around 150M and that was a killer game. It's fun trying to figure out rules and scoring strategy, but I'm confident a software update is coming that will change a lot of things.

You guys with games on order are in good shape. Loads of fun.

Found this Vid- on Y_T .. SR talk-n about AC/DC ...... and 1 of G.Gomez ..

what is "the complete code" ?

Reading back over this thread was quite comical. Lol

Funniest post ever on pin side

Lol and became one of the biggest sellers and a very popular game

I'd still take it over any pin that came out in the 90's. I'd take it over any pin from any decade.

Now you would ... So would I ... But remember when RGR first posted his review he was playing a Pro model on the early basic code.

It sure changed a lot from then ... Especially the LE/Premium code.

I got one of the first Premiums made, and it was pretty basic when I got it. The code updates made it awesome.

rd.

Yes but that wasn't the question. He said he wondered how well it would have sold in the 90's. All things being the same it still would have a ruleset that is better then anything that came out of that era and probably would have held its own.

Aside from that I got my BIBLE after playing a pro just cause the game shot well and the music was great. I didn't know it was gonna turn out as great as it did but since at the time Spider-Man was my favorite game I took a chance on the same team that brought us that.

Couldn't agree more there's no comparison with acdc up against a 90's pinball. More memory for all the tracks better and deeper rules to, and the band was probably bigger in the 90's so they would have sold a heap more RGR has made it clear he isn't a fan of the acdc pinball and Looks like he isn't a huge fan of Stern either but that's cool each to there own.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I have owned a lot of B/W pins top30 stuff and I find the Stern top30 every bit as good. Unlike you, I never could get into LOTR although that's one most others seem to love. Guess we have different tastes.

With my reviews I would put IM and Tron higher than most other Pinsiders.

I can understand how some might dislike acdc or IM or Tron but to me they are about as good as any pins ever.

I have not played acdc pro so I can not give an opinion on that but I suspect I would like it as well.

I'd say, If you don't like even the ac/dc pro version; check your pulse.

My pulse is fine and I just can't get into it.

I really enjoy IM, FGY and POTC. Oh well.

I like these too.
