This has got to be the least talked about machine that I have ever seen, why? I have yet to see or play one and it looks awesome. Lyons pinball has one and I need to go check it out and make my own opinion of it.

Thanks, don’t get to the Springs much but I guess Kevin has some issues with his and is waiting for some parts before I can go check it out. Do you have one yourself? Man, that would be awesome!

Drew that’s great. I’ll have to check it out sometime.

Someone post some videos of gameplay already please!

No worries, just thought some of you proud owners would be sharing some gameplay. Wow.

I played this game for the first time yesterday at a local barcade and it really surprised me. Now I want one. So the first 500 games are LE’s made by Spooky and someone else makes them now? How is the last ability in a home environment? Seems pretty deep to beat all the monsters to get to BDB. I would need to sell Iron Maiden to get this so I don’t know if I would regret this swap. I really like IRMD but the auto plunge not working all the time has really left me with a sour taste on this game otherwise the code, shots, rules, call outs, animations are top notch and don’t know if I will ever defeat the beast. Plus resale value, don’t know if ACNC will hold its value. I have seen a lot of them sit for awhile before selling. Thoughts?

So what are these Sold Rock bronze, silver, and gold editions I see at Alicecooperpinball.com?

IRMD is a spike 2 game not SAM. I am totally aware of all the tweaks but that’s my point. Messing with the auto launch every so often takes away the fun of just playing a game that suppose to play the way it was intended.

I think it’s legit. I just called them and was told that these games were still part of the original Spooky run but made for them and Alice Coopers charity. Signed stuff by Alice and a few graphics changes but otherwise the same but more expensive.

Dudes I’m not trying to make a shooter launch fix for IRMD here, I can and have read IRMD thread. I’m more interested in ACNC details. Rock on!

Awesome line up! I have IRMD pro so that being considered ACNC would probably have that beat. Don’t have anymore room so one has to go and Maidens on the chopping block. Maybe...Lol.

I have my eyes on several HUO ones and not NIB through this site. I could care less about signatures. I just wanted to know more specifics on production of this game. What were the original prices of these several years ago?

I guess they could all be LE’s since only 500 were made. How is the sound system? I hear it can boom pretty loud. I played on location and could hear the bass even at the low volume it was at. I think I’m gonna pull the trigger.

Safe to say you probably don’t need a external sub for this game then?

What did you order?

Nice! I thought Spooky didn’t make anymore or are you getting one of those solid rock models? Congrats!

From Spooky?

For all you owners, how reliable has this game been? As DNO noted above, does this game have a manual for troubleshooting and parts references?

Do you guys think these ball stuck trees from Pinball Life are needed?

There is actually 2, one near the left loop and ramp, another for the upper playfield.

I’m joining the club! Paid for and shipped today from a pinsider. Now I have to make room for it. Can’t wait! Plus new code coming, this game is gonna kick ass!

So there was a recent code update this last January, version 1.1.0.4?

Yes please show a video of the UV effects with the pin stadiums. Do you have to have the shaker?

Is it difficult removing the resistors from the circuit with the magnets? How is this done.

Thanks I’ll have to see once I get my game. Since what date or serial number is considered a late build?

Want to get a real knocker for this game and noticed in Pinball Life that they have a P-ROC knocker and shaker expansion board assembly. Is this part needed for the knocker to work? How does it connect to the game? Thanks!

Being delivered tomorrow!! Can’t wait to dive into this game!! What rubbers are stock on this game and should I change them to regular black rubber? All my games have regular rubbers and that’s what I’m use to.

What did you swap yours out to?

Got the game setup late last night so don’t have much time on it yet. Just checking everything over and noticed a few items. What size screw is missing on the back side of my arch? Also, looks like my amplifier is different than the earlier pictures ones. Is this just the newer version? What awesome artwork on this game!

It's probably a 6-32 screw that screws into the standoff. Hey Charlie, can you shed any light on the amplifier I have in my game? I can send you more pictures if needed. The serial number of my game is ACNC0217180276. Thanks!

What number is my game based off the serial number? Just curious.

Cool! Good to know what all those numbers meant

What is the correct flipper alignment on this game? Back edge of flippers without the rubbers lined up to the alignment holes right?

Also, if I don’t want to deal with glass rattle right now and just use a external sub can I just do the same as most machines and connect with alligator clips to the botttom cabinet speaker. Any harm in running the wires to the sub when the amp in the game is powering that speaker too? Which side of the terminals is positive and negative? Thanks!

What about hooking up an external sub? Wires from cabinet speaker to psw10? Should I turn the amp bass setting off?

How to you change the difficulty setting from easy? I can only enter 2 rooms from the foyer and I don’t see it anywhere in the menu.

Ok cool thanks. How about the guillotine, is it suppose to go down and stop the ball, then release when you cut Alice’s head off? Does it only work in that mode?

So the servo moving the blade up and down doesn’t really coordinate with the game animation for Alice or am I just not seeing it? This game is hard but addicting as shit! I think it’s all dialed in except my left scoop kick out. So inconsistent. I’ve tweaked the scoop, tested, and varied the coil power so much where I think I have it and then in game it doesn’t always go to the right flipper. Good thing for the ball save. Getting weapons are killer for the mode. What does the top magnet option for spooky or original do?

Want to add a knocker kit and was going to get it from Pinball Life. Do I need the knocker and shaker expansion board assembly too?

No no shaker or knocker. Can someone take a picture of this expansion board and where it mounts or goes to please. I guess I’ll need one. I don’t really like shakers and pinstadium lighting is too expensive.

After you hit the guillotine shot, sometimes a fast roll down that right wire form will make the ball hop off the spiral and go into the out lane instead of the in lane. Where should I tweak it so it stays in “the vortex of doom”?

Sweet, looks like I have that board on my game already. Just install the knocker and plug it in right? Just installed the speaker light kit and it looks awesome! Like how it changes color with the modes. This game fuckin rocks!!

I did because I got a lot of glass rattle with the stock system and didn't have anti-rattle tape. Sounds great for the time being. If I get some tape I’ll try the stock system again because it does kick ass. For $50 I would jump on that.

Navigating the menus and changing settings is a little different on Spooky games but I’m getting used to it. I changed the attract mode to have sounds and I have never heard it besides in game play, is that normal?

Is there anything missing at the top of my back box? As you can see from the picture, the latch is in the locked position but I can still remove the back glass.

5CA56534-03F8-44BF-8BA6-B964D53244F3 (resized).jpeg

Can anybody else remove the translite with the latch locked?

So if you need to remove the upper playfield and you have side blade art, they will get damaged without the protectors? No other way to remove the upper playfield?

Yea, I already fucked mine up a little and I lower it as evenly as possible. Just tight where the castle and cave molds are on both sides. Sucks. Only game that does this.

Having the same issues. I’ll tweak the right Frank/lab lock switch but what did you do about the trough switches?

Every time I turn my game on my front back box speakers start making a popping noise and you can see the speaker cones pop. I have to remove the trans light and disconnect and reconnect the 4 pin connector to the speakers to make it stop. What could be causing this? Probably my amp settings but why and what to do?

Has anyone had an intermittent right Frank lock switch? Mine doesn’t work every once in a while and when this happens I go into test mode to test the switch and it doesn’t register at all. Push down on the switch arm several times and nothing. I have to tweak the arm a little and then it starts to register again. I watched the video Spooky posted about adjusting it but that does not seem to be the issue because it intermittently does not register at all. Any ideas.

I am now thinking that every time I turn the game off it does this. First game after being off, right Frank switch does not work. Behavior just as my quoted post. What could be causing this?

Yes, that makes sense. Seems like a hard switch to get to. Did you prop the back of the playfield up like that with the front service rails on the front of the game? I’ll have to try that adjustment. Thanks.

Curious on the pinstadium hook up to the shaker motor. If you don't have a shaker motor can you still hook it up to the shaker connection board in the back box and still work OK?

I'd be interested in this. Never heard of or saw a magnetic read switch but if it makes that shot more reliable, I'm all for it.

Nice crypt sculpt. Can you make any more by chance?

How can I check to see if the back magnet is working? Lately when I start a monster mode, the magnet does not capture and hold the ball while the game is doing the comic page thing. I thought every time you start a monster it holds the ball and the spooky setting just randomly drops the ball but still should hold it.

Who else is diggin the latest code. I really like how the screen and loops show green where the weapon is for the currently selected monster. Definitely takes the memorization out of the picture which is fine by me. Is there any kind of incentive to defeat all the monsters when you reach BDB? If not, there should be, it’s difficult to beat them all.

Do you think we will get anymore updates or is this considered finished?

Can you please list the bugs so perhaps Spooky and team can take a look? What bugs have you noticed with the newest update?

Hell yeah! Do you like the new code?

^^^Check for magnetized balls.

Do ya think we will get any more future code updates or is it considered “finished”?

My right Frank lock switch is lazy. If I don’t play for a few days I have to lift the switch arm a few times before it starts to register again. Spooky sent me a replacement and just wondering the best way to access this switch so I can replace it. Thanks!

Thanks! Too lazy to search the thread.

Ha ha. I’m also reliable and work constantly.

Excellent idea, I’ll have to do that next. I added a few visual enhancements, what do ya think? All are fully reversible. 75802FA7-EAA2-4E25-B01B-5A67E50AE17F (resized).jpeg0C0D1718-D50F-41BB-BC16-6DD380E4DB31 (resized).jpeg5D5B2D3B-B41B-40C7-94F1-3915A0F1CAB4 (resized).jpegB1664E07-4DC3-480B-8BF5-D1AD41CAB1B1 (resized).jpegA0A3570E-1D7A-4356-9142-6F663AEB8B5D (resized).jpeg0FBA141D-815A-4FC0-BAD3-FDD5C494C6CE (resized).jpeg

I had similar issues and in the end it was magnetized balls. Had to replace the amp, several switches were sent to replace the Frank locks, only the right side on mine needs attention. Spooky even sent me new balls and I used those. Tell them you need new balls and I’m sure they will send some. Great service.

It’s definitely a tight shooter but I really like having a game like this in my collection. Also, this is how you do a upper playfield. Cough cough Mandalorian.

Does anyone have an extra game flyer they could share or sell? Thanks!

Looks like the wire forms just need to be tweaked a little so there is not so much of a ramp for the ball to go over.

So where should they be adjusted to? Parallel with the lane guides? I can’t back hand either ramp so maybe I’m still too low. Picture?

Interesting. Is this what Spooky recommends or is this personal preference? I have the tips of my flippers lined up with those holes, which you can’t see with the rubber there.

AB70095E-A4AC-4C2E-AF32-4AD9F280969F (resized).jpeg

Yes that’s the trade off. Do you want to be able to shoots the orbits better or back hand the ramp/s. I’ll give it a try and see what I like better.

I have never had a problem with air balls in the upper playfield. Maybe lower your flipper strength a little?

Did you change the bushing on the upper flipper too, or just the bottom ones?

Someone should make a topper with all the monsters and their associated weapons somehow that also interacts with the game play. That would be sweet!

What parts are there?

Your amp is shot. Spooky should send you a replacement.

My right Frank lock was like this. Asked for a replacement and replaced it, been fine ever since.

Read this entire thread, many troubleshooting ideas and fixes.

What up Kevin?! Glad you enjoy ACNC like most of us in this thread. Did you go with the regular or halographic flippers? With bushings too? Was thinking about trying these out in this game. I also need to get around to replacing my rubbers with the clear Titans.
