That would be a killer detail to add

Did they give you an ETA? Would like one too.

Cool, thanks. Maybe Charlie can send over the pfs’ cad drawings.

Anyone notice any areas that should have cliffies? Might be good to get that ball rolling too.

I’m #85, but maybe I can do something custom in the meantime.

#85 was ready for shipment on the 14th

I settled in at around 6.25 as I found that allowed for back handing the left ramp and gave me a bit more control in general, especially on the upper pf. I also juiced up the flipper power to my liking (in particular the upper pf flipper).

P.S. I toyed with a variety of angles from ~6.0 to ~7.5.

Hot damn where’s my thumb drive

Cu-ooooooode’s out. for. summ-er.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Working great so far, thanks for the update!

I have a shaker. In the current code revision, I would consider it a nice-to-have, non-critical, add on. But that may change in future revisions.

(As a comparison, I would 100% recommend a shaker in TNA)

Hot damn. My son and I have been eagerly awaiting this!

I wish the timer was a smidge longer on the fly. But am also loving the hell out of details like this and stretch points making each room a mini mode. Would be awesome if a bigger set of the non orbit shots did something unique in each room. So even if you suck like me there’s almost always something cool happening.

I agree that it would be nice if you had the option to always explore the entire castle.

After having some time to play and digest the items addition, I concluded that I think the items are cool and if nothing else make for a fun side quest. But it would be more fun (to me at least) if they were always all available, independently from the selected monster, and you could just accumulate them on passes through the castle. Then I would have the freedom to sequence the monsters and the collection of items in whichever order I choose. Or, even if I want to try to play a round where I don't care so much about the monsters per se, but want to try to collect as many of the items as possible. Sort of like Medieval Madness where some games I just want to screw around and destroy castles, where others I'm trying to work to Royal Madness...Or others where I'm super serious and trying to Battle for the Kingdom. Just fun to have varied paths/options. (Note: I'm not a tournament player and tend to enjoy achieving objectives more than points, though achieved objectives often tend to net a lot of points

And perhaps, to your point, that would open up options for having different items work in different ways on different monsters. So maybe you could select which item you want to use while fighting the monster. Or maybe even combine them for different effects, etc. (Or maybe I just played too much Monkey Island when I was younger...)

Also, always using the vampire shot feels a little bit repetitive. I like that it's the upper playfield (as it's the GOAT IMHO), but I wish the item shot varied a bit up there. And if multiple items were in each room (due to always being available), it would make sense to map each one to their own shot(s)...Or maybe even combos, or roving shots, or...Maybe a shot to select which item you want to grab (assuming multiple items per room) and then a varying shot to collect it?

That would be cool

Two NIB for me so far*: 1) TNA (100s #), 0 issues, ever; 2) ACNC (80s #), 1 bad servo fresh out of box (guillotine) but 100% since, no magnet issues, nothing.

*Waiting patiently on R&M

I wish they could find a model where the code could be open sourced. Or even a private repo in which to selectively let folks in to contribute/play...

Yes, incremental improvements are the same as re-writing the game from scratch.

I’m really digging it. Makes a surprisingly big impact as before I ended up ignoring weapons as it was too much effort to memorize the monster/room sequence.

Haven’t personally noticed any new gameplay bugs. But my machine still locks up after sitting for maybe 4-8 hours.

TNA can/will be re-run. All other ‘in-house’ titles were limited and won’t be re-run.

Who the hell pronounces it 'creeg'? Got me on solder. But let's talk about 'aluminium' instead...

Yes. Great game. In my opinion it's better than R&M and TNA which I also owned.

I have to admit, Chuck is an upper pf genious and I hope that comes to bear fruit in Spooky's next game. (IMO ACNC has the best upper pf ever, and it's not even close.)

Mando upper pf didn't look very interesting to me, but will have to reserve judgement until I get my hands on it.

Huh. How many games have you guys played?! Mine still looks brand new.

Inspect for damage and refuse shipment on anything major. I usually give the delivery guy a tip and ask him to give me a couple of minutes. Spooky boxes (on 3 games I've received at least) are more like lids--cut a strap and pull box straight up to reveal wrapped game. Then inspect away.

Is it a magnet or proper decal?

Mine works 100%, never had to adjust it. Maybe check level/pitch.

Where are you getting replacement bushings?

Is this game interactive? Eg tied in with active monsters etc?

I own both. Ehoh is the better game. acnc is really special too, and harder to come by. Would probably buy acnc first.

I would chip in to continue to evolve the code/fix bugs (wish there was more fun little stuff to do in the rooms, etc), but I honestly already enjoy it the way it is. Wouldn't want a re-write.
