Already here. The software works just fine. Only catch is you have to do a little bracket work, the official mounts aren't out yet.

You mean pick the 4 color palette option? I mean, it's cool, but man, to take your user name as an example, the true full color on Monster Bash looks so nice. I can't imagine my Scared Stiff without it.

A tease for a tease!

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt we're going to see any titles with movie clips like SM getting colorized. That sounds like a nightmare to do by hand.

You can smooth it with Sigma, saw that at Expo and I think it did actually make the clips a little clearer. But they're stilly 128x32 monotone images. So I wouldn't expect a miracle, but if you get a chance, check it out, I suspect it's a matter of personal preference.

I guess if Randy is really recruiting people now I'd better stop harassing him about The Shadow unless I'm willing to do it.

You know, it might be interesting to color all the other stuff, and then make the movie footage in like a slightly sepia greyscale. I'd be willing to bet that you could make out the footage better in greyscale as opposed to the stock red.

Randy do you think you could spot the text over the movie footage so it could be colored? Or would that be lost in the noise?

Just for fun I tested my greyscale theory. Personally I find it much easier to take in at a glance, things like the eyes become much clearer. To me at least.

Shadow dreams crushed.

The clue doesn't mean much to me, so I'm going with World Cup Soccer, since we hosted it the same year as the game, and that maybe ties in with the country graphic, and it's JPop who hasn't been done.

Comment on page says "Nope, not TSPP!"

The designer is still "in the game." <- Man, that would be Dennis Nordman if he wasn't eliminated already!

Well Mark Ritchie isn't really "in the game" anymore, he's not doing pinball. JPop is though.

I have no idea what the Simpsons image is supposed to mean though.

The impression I got from Randy is that this is too soon to see colorized Stern games. I could be wrong, but I'd leave them out of guesses myself.

He didn't do any Williams games, I'm assuming he's out of the picture for now.

Like I said I don't think they're ready to release a colorized Stern game yet, so I'm guessing it's Williams. Pure speculation on my part, the Stern brackets are for Sigma mode only and future color games I presume.

Okay if it's Fish Tales I have one thing to say: Randy, we love you, but your clues suck.

Is there a JPop game that *doesn't* feature a spinning toy? Ball in WCS, trunk in TOM, lamp in TOTAN. I guess CV doesn't really, but that one is out anyways, can't fit an LCD in the DMD spot.

Has anyone put a ColorDMD in a TZ and just run it with white dots yet? That would be nice.

Edit: Apparently, thanks Dug.

In theory the color information could actually lead to some smarter smoothing algos though.

I care not, I'm not a fan of any of the smoothing, the color dots are bad ass and all I want!
