They need to release a video of some buddy playing full throttle who has played pinball more than once in their lives. Every video I see of this pin every buddy is just crushing the posts it makes the game look extremely hard with no flow what so ever. I have read that it has tons of flow and super fast. They have to release a video were the person is not bricking the shots so much you would think they were buliding a house.
Quoted from Aurich:I watched Josh Sharpe play it at Expo for what felt like 20 minutes. He had no problem rocking it.
Cool I wish some buddy would have filmed it. So perspective buyers can get a feel for it.

How much for an Alien LE kit if I buy full throttle?

Quoted from Chet:One of the little known controversies around the original 1979 movie at the time was the unauthorized use of a portion of the first movement of American Composer Howard Hanson's 1930 Symphony No. 2, called the "Romantic" for the closing credits. When I first saw the movie in 1979, I instantly recognized it as his music score and thought it fit the ending of the movie perfectly as it is one of my favorite American compositions. The version used in the movie comes from the superlative 1967 British National Philharmonic Orchestra recording conducted by Charles Gerhardt. As I understand it, a last minute decision was made by Ridley Scott to not use Jerry Goldsmith's original score but to change it to the "Romantic" but without the permission of the composer, Howard Hanson, who was still living at the time. From what I have read, Mr. Hanson was very upset when he learned they had used his composition, but he decided not to pursue any legal redress, perhaps because he was 80 years old at the time. The ending credits do give credit to the score as the "Romantic." I am glad they made the change to the "Romantic" but it is a little sad they did not get the Composer's approval to do so.
That's heavy Doc.

Quoted from Zampinator:I can attest to the quality of the clear coat 1st hand. I received my Full Throttle 2 days ago & the 1st thing my wife & I noticed is the clear coat on the playfield, it is thick & looks like a sheet of glass! It looks like something that came from Ron Kruzman! It's a high enough quality that there isn't 1 piece of mylar Anywhere! I'd say they are confident in the quality & durability of their clear coat.
The two Full Throttle's I played on location while in Pittsburgh had a chip missing from the playfeild at the kick out hole. Maybe the clear
coat has improved since the ones I played on were built who knows?

Quoted from Kneissl:I think he's talking about starting acid burn goes something like "that's gonna burn through the god damned hull" I haven't turned on family mode, but that's the only time I've heard it.
That would be really cool if you could add the option to censor that line in family mode. It does not bother me but when certain people are playing I would love to be able to turn that off.
What they could do if possible is have an option just to turn the movie quotes off. Or a volume control for them so I could just turn them down the wholeway when I was playing pinball with censtitive goof balls
