Reminds me of a song I heard once or twice.

No. They get Aerosmith.

Well, nobody I know that liked Aerosmith in the 70s when they were good seems to give a shit about that title. So I figured it had to be those that watched MTV and saw Aerosmith trying to cash in on that fad in the 80s that are all excited about it.

Ghostbusters then?

When can I come play your WOF?!!!!

Me neither. I just like to sit back and watch people bitch about code on games they own and then how excited they are when the next sparsely coded title is announced.

B/W must have had a tough time releasing games like MM and AFM with as complete of code as they came with.

Surprised we didn't have to wait a year or more to see what those games really had to offer. Especially since it was 90s technology they were dealing with.

Come on jfj. You're supposed to be helping with Hawaii 5-O for the next title.

Why? It's the standard by which all other incomplete code is measured.

My logic says pinball's days are numbered when they run out of people wanting antique themes that ship with baby code.

But what do I know? I'm just a guy that's played pinball since I could barely walk and have never seen what's been going on in the industry in the last few years in my life.

Star Wars won't change anything. It will be more of the same. Glad I'm not one of those suckers that treats it like some kind of religion. To me it's just a movie from the 70s that I watched a few times and have no interest in a rehash of it.

I was 15 when it came out in theaters, but didn't see it until 10 years later along with the other two. Being a teen in the 70s there was just so much more to do than get overly excited about a movie. Again that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away....

I just brought home one of these Batmans. Now where is this so called code?

Nah. Be the first on your block to have one.

Come by Sunday if you like.

I'll have it on two TVs, one you can see from standing in front of Batman. You know the spot. Pole position in the gameroom. I gotta work Saturday, but Sunday's all about football and pinball if you want to show up. If not, enjoy the games!

Bring it! have it in there when I get home would ya! I'll tell you how to break in the house.

Just takes picking up a twelvepack and letting Nimblepin do the rest. I don't even have to keep track of this stuff anymore and for the most part have stopped caring. Game's dead in the water with the code it has now as far as I'm concerned.

He's Johnny on the spot and will let me know when it's time.

I'm also looking forward to some rhyme or reason to the flashing inserts that change color or go out when you hit one. And lock lights that come and go at will.

Maybe the current code is really deep but none of us can figure it out. After half a bottle of Jack it sorta starts making sense.

If they want to sell any more Batmans, it would probably be in their best interest to continue development of code on it.

I bought mine for neither of these reasons.

I put about ten minutes on the game and liked the way it played. So with ten minutes worth of code as it has now, I'm pleased to say I got my money's worth. And any more from here on out is pure bonus!

At least I wasn't foolish enough to pre-order it with never playing it. They'll get you one way or another.

I'm not sure what all that means, but this is what I got out of it.

Well, being it is Aerosmith, how hard was that really?

Too busy counting their money to pay attention to game rules or code is my guess.

Isn't that what I said?

I imagine you don't go buying $15000 pinball machines without counting it out first.

My bad. I thought you had to send an application and a video and then count out the money.

Your whining about feeling insulted never gets old.

And what if I was to tell you I purchased a Batman Premium. Would that make me a lessor human being?

I'm thinking the next code drop will be epic.

They must have ran out of things to say in that Kiss thread. Sure glad I chose Batman over that one.

What does that really mean? The code as it is is almost 4GB in size. Is it possible that a .01 is a different amount of code in different machines?

A better question is did Lyman ever start a game that didn't get finished or turn out to be a masterpiece? In the end IMO, that's all that really matters.

I lost some sleep playing the thing into the late hours of the night yesterday

Are you sure it was Lyman that started that game? IPDB gives Ropp credit for coding that game too.

I don't feel any burn

That's what I remember reading.

Although the updates may be coming slowly, Aerosmith has not received a single one and Kiss is still waiting for the next one.

In Lyman I trust.

Just noticed that. Hope we get one before Kiss.

Only one in town right now.

I have heard him speak highly of TBL.

He's never been to my house. I think the sound of all those EM bells clanking might give him a stroke. Probably wouldn't try Skateball or Flash Gordon either. Too primitive.

Am I the only one excited that they are finally going to finish WOF?

Yeah, I don't miss a thing.

I respect Gomez for still designing instead of putting his feet up on a desk. And I appreciate the fact he's doing it. Nice change up from the usual designs. I'm taking a thumb drive to work this week where the internet is fast.

The pessimist sees the glass half empty, the optimist sees it half full.

The realist however needs to know if the glass was empty or full to begin with.

As a realist, I see Batman as a glass that started near empty but in time will be overflowing. Soon....

Put on a pair of these and watch it get better.

I believe with Gomez in charge, he will not want his latest effort to end up with some lackluster code. More like he is real proud of it (see the release video) and wants it to be a masterpiece. Which is why Lyman was picked to code it. Just a hunch...

A respectable distributor informed me demand for all versions of Batman has been high, higher than the latest title. I'm sure there are plenty that haven't even played it yet that would play it at the show the way it is. New code could make it the main attraction.

I'm just glad it happened on a work day. Seriously, on my home internet, depending on how hard they throttle me back, it can take 8 hours to download this file. Twenty minutes at work. Thumbdrive is all loaded up and ready for when I get home.

I don't buy lottery tickets anymore, about the only wagering I do lately is on pinball. But yeah, I can't wait to check it out.

Imagine if they never got that hammer magnet ironed out. Seems I had my Met longer than I've had this Batman before they finally did.

Oh, and I was told my Premium is the first one, the one that was at the show. That's got to make it worth as much as one of those Superduper LES.

I'll check it tonight but is there any more to do with the minor villains yet?

Plenty to look forward to then. I bet this thing will have crazy deep code when all is said and done.

Problem with using scenes from the movie is you end up with the wrong catwoman. I doubt they will use scenes with Eartha Kitt either but anything is possible.

Have you installed the updated cover on your left ramp yet?

Maybe they will use Eartha. There are inserts that say seasons one, two, and three.

Interesting. I wonder if this guy will make an appearance.

Could be why the name of this game is "Batman, the Classic TV Series" How did I figure that out? It says it on the side of the head.

Sounds better than Batman 66. Who made that up. lol

I suppose the intent there was to not confuse it with another classic TV show from a few years prior, Route 66.

Probably should have gone with this.

I'm starting to think the premium may turn out to be the most limited edition of them all.

Is that what Lyman's been working on?!!!!

That was then....

I'm still waiting for the next Oursler game with code by Pfutz.
