COLORDMD GAME 53: DON'T OPEN! DEAD INSIDE!

ColorDMD is excited to announce that The Walking Dead is the 53rd game to be supported by the ColorDMD multicolor pinball display platform! The original hand-drawn animation in Walking Dead ranks among pinball's best! Enhanced by the ColorDMD's multicolor processing, you can nearly taste the flesh falling fresh from the bone!

TWD_Title (resized).PNGTWD_Title (resized).PNG

Veteran developer Eric Priepke brings the gore, returning for his sixth title following work on Batman, Spider-Man VE, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Flintstones! His effort on this title and commitment to its completion has been commendable and greatly appreciated!

TWD_DeadInside (resized).PNGTWD_DeadInside (resized).PNG

Walking dead contains several complex animation sequences that change "on-the-fly" in response to playfield activity. These embody some of the most challenging sequences of any SAM game completed to date, and required Eric to develop innovative and custom solutions that could work within the bounds of the ColorDMD coloring engine.

This also required improvements to the ColorDMD engine itself, extending capabilities and adding new features that will also benefit future titles.

TWD_Rifle (resized).PNGTWD_Rifle (resized).PNG

Eric resides in Wisconsin with his wife and two children. When not spending time with family, or rolling with Wisconsin's infamous "Ballers for Dollars" crew, Eric can usually be found contributing something to the pinball hobby. He is the author of "Cactus Canyon Continued", and an active contributor to the Pinside and P-ROC pinball discussion forums.

The ColorDMD for Walking Dead pinball machines shares the same easy-to-install hardware platform as previous ColorDMD releases. All displays ship with the factory installed SIGMA ROM that supports WPC, WPC95, SAM, Whitestar, and SPIKE platforms. Multicolor operation is enabled through download and installation of a game-specific color ROM file, available from our site. ROMs can be changed at any time, allowing use with any of our supported titles.

Displays are shipping now from our store site or through our distributors. The color ROM for Walking Dead pinball machines is targeted for release by Friday, February 10!

TWD has possibly the best dots in any game ever. Cannot wait to see them in color!

Hope that ST is soon now that the 'on-the-fly' animations hurdle has been overcome.

By far the most anticipated "newer game" ColorDMD release.

This is going to look incredible. I honestly wondered who did CCC, so man, what a veteran taking TWD on. This is simply awesome. Almost makes me want to buy TWD again.

The spacers and the new window are required for the metal backbox.

This game absolutely wouldn't have been possible without Randy constantly improving the engine that drives the system. Again. and Again. and ...

You might have stuff you could use for the spacers, but unless you've got a laser cutter, I doubt you've got a clear window to replace the default red one with.

From the store front page, go to the accessories section and get it there. Adds to cart for me just fine.

Sweeeeeeeeet! Now to decide whether to go with LCD or wait for LED. I put LED displays in my TAF and SS machines (my MB has an LCD), and I've got to say that I prefer the look of LED in those 90's B/W games. With the smooth animations of modern Sterns, however, I think I'm leaning LCD.

I think the newer games that use 12 levels of brightness (16 in SPIKE) suffer a bit on the LEDs because the dimmer brightnesses aren't as distinct and the points of light get small. Pretty different from the 3 levels of brightness in older games.

But everybody likes different things for different reasons, so good luck trying to decide

So damn cool. Great job Eric.

People who said it looked fine in one color like all red and didn't think it needed full color just saw the frames and saw how dumb they were.

Every game looks better in color. Gonna make some money!!!!

I'm usually a DOTSXL guy but the smoothing on those frames looks outstanding! May have to try that out first. And I feel kind of dumb for not realizing until now that the guy with the rifle was Lyman. What a difference color makes!
