There is not a lot going on with the layout. It is more spartan than a Stern pro, but more expensive. I do not see this turning out well.

Well, I would be interested to know what the codebase looks like. I am tentatively getting one and as a software dev would be open to working on the game for free once I have my example.

Untrue, the games 4k+ seem to be sitting. Problem is there are so many nib options that many people are trying to sell to buy nib games. Buyers are considering nib as well as used at that price range. Market is just oversaturated and with jjp and stern continually upping the price it will be interesting to see what unfolds.

Interesting, but sub 4k I have not had one issue. The higher end stuff is another matter. As for monthly outings? Its cheaper sure, but its not why I collect. Also not the case for my friends either.

Then I would suggest you walk away? This stopped being a cheap hobby a decade ago. For me the amount of money on paper that my collection is worth would buy a very nice sports car. The amount I have in it would not buy a cheap toyota.

On topic though I am surprised suncoast has gone silent in this thread. You would think there would be some amount of damage control going on.

I am wondering if sales have been slower than expected. For awhile just about anyone who announced a new machine would have pre-orders lined up. Now there are too many games and not enough new blood pumping money in. This game did not get the fanfare from day one which is kinda odd. It is an original theme which people keep clamoring for, but there just never seemed to be much buzz.

I do, though I am not a nib buyer. That said I am serious about wanting to continue developing the software on this game once I get ahold of the one I am trading for. Problem is suncoast hasn't been on in days.

Ii think something you are missing is that code is a massive part of a game. I think given a code update this one code be improved dramatically and not knocking the developer for this. Just not given enough time to bake. A lot of games that were dogged were later saved by code updates. It will not save a terrible layout, but it can vastly improve a so so one.

Does anyone have the link for the update and is it still active? I am to be grabbing a machine soon and worried it will be on old code.

Dunno at least two distributors sold their demo as soon as suncoast declared bankruptcy. Not saying there are only 8 but 80 seems high. Also why are their unfilled preorders if they knocked out 80 machines?

Got my machine yesterday. This is the one that was at the southern fried gaming episode. Wireform is broken and will need to be welded. Game was on .91 software. I pulled the sd card and put in a new one in flashing it with the .99 software that is on the cosmic carniva shared drive. Then updated that to 1.04. Thing is, when I enter the service mode, it still says .91 prototyotype for the version? wth

.99 had to take. I pulled the original micro sd card from the raspberry pi and set it aside. I took a brand new one, burned the .99 img to it and insterted it. Fired up the game, went into the menu and the service menu says .91 prototype for the version. Odd, but if you turn it on without the sd card the game doesn't boot so the update had to take.

Saying suncoast posted the wrong file? Doubtful.

That said the game does show differences so def not the same version.

Can confirm they did not necessarily build in order. Pinsider here has one in the 60's by request.

Dont see it fitting. Cabs are unique.

Unless someone is feeling generous or a vendor is trying to drum up interest to sell. I for one don't take my games to shows. Too much risk and seeing how mine has 3 broken welds from the wireform after only being played at southern fried gaming expo I def would not put this one out.

I'd like a floor banner, but don't see the 250 sadly. Neat, but not that neat.

Some aren't narked. Mine is one of the first five and has no plaque.

Ill admit i am sad i sold mine. I am a software dev and was tempted to modify the code. Had been thibking up how to add spinners to the loops and some sort of target in front of the scoop without permanently modifying the game.

My thought was to mount a spinning target from above. Rotate it down to block the shot when desired.

If i ever get one again i will have to look into it. Game had potential and the hardware is easy to code for. Far easier than when i looked into updating Pistol poker and mystery castle.
