    Gottlieb "Spirit"

    What to keep:
    Art and sound Package.

    What to add:
    Distorted sound and a character playing the titular thing.

    What to change:
    Light Package needs overhaul.

    I would take the middle lanes on the lower playfeild and terminate it with a vertical upkickers to put it back on the playfeild.

    Share your thoughts and ideas for other tables.

    Quoted from mrclean:

    Punchy The Clown - LTG edition

    Man you don't want that in your room.

    Your half asleep and you see that.

    Quoted from Stebel:

    Add a feature to all games where cradling the ball(s) during multiball would drain your points.
    Gilligans Island and Hurricane could use make overs.

    Ginger does not look like Ginger. Bally needed a better art package on that.

    Quoted from swampfire:

    It was a big miss, not doing a psychedelic version of Beatles for us younger old people. Revolver, Rubber Soul, Sargent Pepper…

    Believe it or not Mr. Kite and Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds were not about drugs.

    Mr. Kite was just a playbill
    And Lucy was based on Lennon kids drawings.

    None were about drugs its a popular myth that needs to die.

    Quoted from LesManley:

    Roller Coaster Tycoon.
    It just begs to be redone with that unique layout, but horrible code and lackluster theme. I'd lose everything but the layout and make it a Tron 1982 theme. The roller coasters would turn into light cycle tracks, they are already red, yellow and blue. The drop targets up the middle could be incorporated for the MCP. Scrambled eggs would now be Dumont on his spinning platform. Troll could be turned into Sark. I'd get rid of the DMD and put an LCD in it with movie clips and custom animation. I wish I had the time and ability to do something like this.

    That troll makes no sense at all.

    Quoted from Pinslot:

    I really like what people are doing with EE rulesets, eg Stars, F2K and Meteor. It‘s like getting two pins for the price of one.
    Many of These games just need minor code tweaks. For example:
    Kiss: center rollover awarding Kiss row should work only when you shoot the ball, as a skill shot. Spinner should award 1000 per spin for one shot and then have to be relit by center really t

    Bally "Kiss" is really not a game. Just spell "Kiss" and vola.

    Not much really going on.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    Cue Ball Wizard. Totally redesign the backglass art, the video modes, the skill shot, and add an auto ball launcher for the multiballs. Otherwise that game has a lot going for it.

    You will not speak ill of John Norris on this thread


    Him. Tanzer, Trudeau, Python (python had the biggest splash) Sullivan and Ritchie are in their own club of designers along with Gottlieb system one designers.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    I really enjoyed my CBW, but it gets really annoying to have to point out to new players that the ball is just sitting there in the shooter lane during multiball. My list was a few points to take a good game and make it great.

    I see.

    #Hot Tip

    The captive ball could be axed and a vari targets placed in its place instead.

    Or

    Allow for a ball return gate on the right and add a vari target.
