Just make sure you use the explosion sound and the death sound from the original.

This is really impressive work. I don't know how you DIY pin builders do this stuff. Even if I had all the free time in the world, the money, and the tools, I'd end up with an ugly nasty ass mess of wires and mechs nailed to a board that would catch fire.

Just wanted to mention I love the lack of shooter lane. Very smart. Seems pointless to have all that real-estate used up if you aren't going to have a plunger-based skill shot.

For a non-wide body, it would open up a lot of free space for a custom pin. You loose space from the lane itself, and the rails. Gotta be like 3" at least there. A lot can be done with that.

I just bought Doom on Steam the other day. Loving the out of control monster spawning. It definitely moved back into the category of fast-paced "blow shit up" vs survival horror, but ID also managed to do it in a way that still requires strategy - Mainly that you can't stay put or you'll die, and you've gotta be good about your ammo.

This layout looks like it is going to be similar in pace. A think a cool idea for a pin like this would be some sorta timer that prevents you from taking your time with shots or holding a ball too long, not just a mode/score timer. Flipper hold > 5 seconds = flippers/lights off + death sound

You should also put a microphone on the game so the high-scorer can record a sound sample that plays back and gets used in the game as a taunt.
