Quoted from daveddd14:Are the finals A-24 and B-16 or A-16 and B-8?
I'll let Chris B answer that but if the website is correct. Top 24 are taken for A Division.

Keep Spider-man Vault please so the wife stays happy lol. Keep Batman 66 and Elvira HOH. WCS would be cool and Scared Stiff would be a fun addition.

Keep the 90’s games coming and back. Love getting to play Roadshow, would like to see TAF back in the rotation as well as TOM, MM, and CP.
A good mix of early SS, 90’s, and new games from all manufacturers would be the best for the people I come with.
No matter what will be back often in 2020!

By the way, sorry I didn't write in Helicon for the TWIPY's. I voted today and saw it noticeably absent. I feel stupid for not doing that, you guys both, and everyone working for you, deserve much praise for the great combo of stuff happening at Helicon daily! 
I coulda, shoulda wrote in Starport too, damn it!!!

We don't need to be praised anymore than we already are. Haha. Thanks for all you do to support us Wes!!
This is the last Free Play before over 30 games leave Helicon Brewing! Stop down an he check out some of these rare classics!
The next free play is scheduled for Monday, January 20th:

It is not clear to me exactly what games will remain after the Helicon Open arrivals are removed, but it is guaranteed to be at least 35-40 excellent games in great shape.
As of this writing, all 70+ games are still at the brewery and playing great! Hopefully some folks enjoy them over this weekend while they are still here.
Cheers,
Chris B.
Made the trek out today with my girlfriend. Put a solid 2 hrs in straight.
Only played 5 different games total due to earning free games. Started off old at hollywood heat and bk2k. Hollywood played different than what I'm use to but I liked the change. Made the game harder without the ability to change lanes for multiplier. I also liked the divider missing on upper playfield by the #4 rollover. Made the left lock shot harder.
Bk2k played fine too. I know this game is a pita to keep running on any location. So I appreciate it when they are. Some people like new shiney. I'll take older players with signs of wear any day of the week.
I spent majority of my time camped out at maiden and kiss. Only able to get 330mill on maiden and 280mill on kiss. But earning free play kept me busy for a while.
Finished up on stranger things. Still to early to give judgement based on 3 plays. I need to better understand the rules/objectives. Wasnt able to earn a free play. Yet by play 3 I was picking up base stuff. Need more time on it.
In short, enjoyed my time there. Will need another trip just to play games I did not get to try yet plus more time on st. So many new releases, so little time....

Looking forward to Mondaaaaaaay!!!
Any idea when you guys are getting, or if, a Rick and Morty? I know Chris seemed to think it might be a couple months in.

At this time Rick and Morty is not on our radar. I will keep you up to date when R&M will be shipping.

Thanks Chris for the update! You've written the check, made the calls, and now the long wait occurs.
I do hope you guys are first in line for whatever new JJP comes out this upcoming year! *fingers crossed*!!!

We are definitely first in line on JJP
Quoted from wesman:This is what I like to hear! Counting down the days....problem is, I've no idea how many left to count, haha!
Hopefully not too many
#elviras-house-of-horrors-le and Black Knight Sword of Rage (LE) have both been updated to the latest code.
Free play on Monday was great once again, thanks to everyone who came out. The next free play night will be 2/24 and tickets will be posted tomorrow.
The bad news is that Dialed In, Oktoberfest, Houdini, Earthshaker, and Target Alpha have all left the brewery. The good news is that they have been relocated to Rusty Gold, a brewery in Canonsburg, PA. Definitely worth checking out!
Cheers,
Chris B.

Will there be new games brought in, or some things shifted about?
Always a great event!
