Quoted from pinheadpierre:
I was thinking the same thing! This game needs Pinside reviews. There is only one brief review that though positive in tone overall also implies that the game is “clunky” due to geometry.
Hilton - thanks for taking the time to post such an awesomely detailed review! Please take another minute to copy and paste your review to the ratings section for R&M!

I will rate when back and CPU.

My rating won’t count for Pinside since I removed all my other ratings but I think the text will show up?

FUN

I actually don’t care so much about ratings, but I am a bit concerned that with most early games going out to locations and the first batch of owners not posting reviews yet that the rating herd momentum could be skewed to a negative bias by players frustrated by what’s sounding like a harder than average pin. Clusters of opinion tend to generate its own momentum even if untrue. The only rating thus far has R&M sitting at 33 between Ghostbusters and Creature. Not shabby but not where it sounds like this game belongs.

If you’ve got one and like it, say so in a rating. Tell others outside of the club what you think. If future code updates and/or factory assembly adjustments make it better or worse, tweak the review.

The ratings are meaningless with so few. It just takes time for a game to settle into a spot in the rankings, as it should. Go look at the ranking history of any game on pinside. They all have large variation early on because there is too little data, then the curve smooths out.

Nice.

My only quibble would be your TWD fandom. Man, I hated that pin when I played it. Granted, it was a routed pro that likely has/had old code.

Tried to give it a fair shake, but it was just not for me. One of the ugliest pins I have ever seen as well.

The comparison to TWD has me excited. That's one of my favorite Sterns, period... It's that weird sorta-Paradox of brutal, and yet simple with lots to do. By simple I mean "approachable" in that you're not overwhelmed with crap and loops and ramps and geometric time-bending, so it's pretty obvious what needs to be done... Yet it's far more difficult than it appears... And yet it's not unfair either once you figure it out; you can have a riot but can never get complacent either.

If R&M plays like that it should be a great game indeed! But R&M easily wins the appearance category... TWD really is an (appropriately) ugly game to look at.

Quoted from KingofGames:
You cant really convert a hand drawn pic to vector... You "can" But its not the result you want. If you want that, you have to hand draw your vector. Its also unnecessary for this size.

Yes, correct... This is what I was referring to when I said "manually converted". And yes, it will be small size, but I prefer the vector for the art I'm imagining for the precision I can apply to the different stroke widths (to correspond with an Ikea/Plumbus instruction manual style).

Quoted from Zablon:
How tall is it with the topper..beginning to wonder if my ceiling is high enough

Topper is a little over 12". Top of back box height will vary based on how you set your rear legs. In my case about 76" so total height needed is approx 88" to 88.5".

20200222_201652 (resized).jpg20200222_202336 (resized).jpg

The spinning disc has some extra clearance in the bracket (about 1.5") so you could lower the spinning portal and motor if you drilled new holes in the bracket. The front figures are about 11" high so if you lower the portal you could reduce total hopper height by about 1".

20200222_202448 (resized).jpg

I have low ceilings in my basement and it fit....kind of. Just required a slight modification to the ceiling.

For those interested in the pinnovators headphone, subwoofer, vol control kit, here's how it looks with the black coin door. You can also see the changes I made to the start and launch buttons.

Since each press of the start button adds a Morty to the game I thought a little Morty there made sense.

Launch ball changed to squanch ball is a no brainer.

Thanks for measuring the topper. My basement ceiling is 88.5" so it should just barely fit!

Quick question about the rules... I noticed when I lit the adventure mode start (via ramps), sometimes the mode start is the center shot but other times it's the right orbit or left portal shot. How is the mode start shot decided, is it meant to be different for various modes?

It's just that we insist on having photographer's permission in our archives for the pictures that we show, that's why.

Unfortunately, Spooky Pinball does not return my emails.

Were those pictures in your link all from one source, or did you collect them from various sources?

If any of them came from Spooky's webpages, seems to me they are ok for copying. Stern and JJP are that way.

But I'd prefer to have the URLs to make note then copy them direct and probably you don't have them?

Mostly from Spooky's Facebook. They were definitely all from Spooky as they were available before games shipped. I'd think they are fair use and if anyone asks you to take them down that is ridiculous.

Right now it's just Pickle Rick, because it made the most sense thematically - Bowen requested that it start from the garage. There's one other adventure planned so far that will likely start from the garage, I think.

That makes sense, and as more modes are added, it will be more random (currently garage = Pickle Rick)

Maybe a summer gets bigger mode!

Has anyone ever done a timed multiball mode where after the time runs out flippers die, balls all drain, then shoots 1 ball back into play (not a ball loss, just basically that mode is over)? Seems like this idea would be a candidate for something like that.

I know that Space Station has it's 'extra ball' mode that does this, but it's at the end of the game.
