Nice write up.
This is the second machine to arrive with that rubber broken. Spooky may wanna toss a spare in the coin box.

5x20mm SB fuses
3A, 4A, 5A

You can grab them from PinballLife or your usual electronics supply.

TNA, RnM use them too.

Always amazed me how Santa can be in two places at the same time

Sensationalism used to be confined to the National Enquirer.
Today we are inundated with people becoming famous by posting how they can pee their pants in front of everybody.

Critics post reviews good/bad/indifferent to further their own name not the vendor.
I don't pay any attention to critics (never really did). Opinions are free.
(Pretty sure Bowen worked rules on R&M and left the code to Eric)

Spooky can choose whoever they like to build their pins. If I like what i see i am going to buy it regardless of how good some Internet alarmist thinks it is.
Full disclosure I bought Ultraman not Halloween, but both of these games are going to do very well.
- They are small batch, limited runs
- They are built by a company that is passionate about pinball and BOTH themes
- Bowen is giving a casual hand w/o credit on the rules with these games, b/c he is a great guy and wants Spooky to succeed.
- The layout of these games is unique and VERY playable.

End of the day, don't listen to everything you read/hear on the Internet.

You folks are a never ending source of entertainment.
I have posted this in the past, but it was never a secret as to who was doing what on these machines.
I asked and had no hesitation on going forward knowing Corwin and Fawzma were handling rules and code.
If you just assumed then that is on you.

Below is a cut and paste of my email communication response from Morgan the day before the sale.

Design was Karis Borloff lol
rules & code are Bug (Corwin Emery) & Fawzma with Bowen Kerins advising.
Thanks!

Hey Squirrel,
Looking forward to you folks selling out of everything tomorrow.

Where can I find a list of the team for the machines?
Like programming, rules, design, etc..
I see the Music and Artwork credits.

Thanks,
Brian

Clearly Bowen was advising and is not now.

Let's have a conversation about code 6 to 12 months from now.
These guys are busting a nut on trying to help people have a pleasurable gaming experience.
Are there challenges, hiccups, buggy releases? Sure but don't for a minute dismiss the level of engagement Spooky gives to Pinside that they don't have to.
It is unfortunate that Bowen is not currently engaged but hey, that just happens sometimes.

The average experience with people playing these games is positive.
If that changes then there will be something to complain about.

Did only Ultraman come with the USB extension cable?
This is a mod I performed on my R&M and TNA myself.
Kinda cool to see Spooky grabbed that and included it.
