Quoted from Aurich:

There's a 10" screen embedded in the playfield

I'm not a big fan of the LCD in the play field. It takes away from the playfield art, and we all probably look at display screens all day long too much as it is. I think it's going to either be a distraction from trying to make shots, or ignored to make shots. But at least it's in a hell of a lot better place than the stupid LCD in the back of that idiot JPoop's designs.
The placement of the upper flippers is intriguing, to say the least. I wonder about the upper right flipper possibly deflecting a lot of balls in weird directions when being shot up that way from the lower flippers. Could be interesting.
That all being said, I appreciate the effort behind this project, and having another manufacturer offering some variety and new things. Best of luck to the team, hopefully it's well received by those anticipating its arrival. I will try it if I see it in the wild, but there's really only one game coming from another manufacturer I have any interest at all - and it's certainly not a Stern either.

Added over 8 years ago: I take a lot of the above back after looking this one over more. I don't think the LCD is too big or takes away, it does work well in that location and I think it's a great idea to see what can be done with it there. (I don't remember much of the one on Full Throttle since I only got to play it once so far.)

I'm still curious about those upper flippers, looking that all over closer. Still think their placement is interesting as well.

I'm very much following the upcoming titles from all of the big players but the team at Heighway has been piquing my interest a lot more as of late, so I'm starting to come around.

Definitely looking forward to seeing one of these out in the wild, I haven't gotten to play one at all yet. The art, playfield & toys all look pretty decent to me.

Any news on when it's going to ship yet?

#9954 7 years ago

I just want to play one of these. The sooner, the better. Really like what I see with play field design, toys & etc.
