Okay, we need to figure out how to get one of these to Pincinnati next month if at all possible! Can't wait to play it!

We had a chat to Rosh about the rules of Oktoberfest!
Great job AP! I was skeptical but this looks great. Nice to see a bright, packed, non licensed theme. Can’t wait to play!
Quoted from rvdv:Can you swap out the old dude for Big Cleavage girl and I’m in
Mod makers are 3D printing Giant boobs right now as we speak
If that awesome right "corkscrew" wire form only gets used to release multiballs that seems like a huge waste / disappointment to me. Hopefully it's more that that. Great looking game and definitely a pretty unique layout and set of features, if this is $7K MSRP like Houdini I think the buyer is getting a lot of relative value for their pinball buck.

You must hate Deadpool and Lord of the rings....
Quoted from DerGoetz:You must hate Deadpool and Lord of the rings....
I'm a lover, not a hater. Deadpool was under-whelming to me but I love LOTR, not sure where the comparison applies though.
I never would have thought they could make this theme into a pinball machine without misogynistic art focusing on the women of the festival. It appears to be more about the carnival atmosphere than what I was expecting. The art looks vibrant and festive.
It looks like it could be fun to play.
holy shit this exceeds all expectations. The great mix of cheeseball and innovation.
Code is king, but this layout and design gives JJP a run for their money.
Ramp wireform looks a bit much on first glance, but like I been saying the more unlicensed the better.
Can't wait to play.
This is a fantastic looking pinball machine. Love the theme, the artwork, the layout....looks super cool. Can't wait to give this one a try!

seriously! They could have gone full WNBJM on this and mercifully did not, while still doing lots of "fan service" for the primary hetero male audience.
Quoted from JodyG:Uhhh, yeah....good luck with that one AP? Can't wait to hear the thought process on that theme decision.
Re reading this from from the beginning. So many users having to eat their words. I gotta admit I didn’t know how this could possibly work but it looks like a lot of fun and unique. Bring on a fresh era of new ideas. NO MORE BAND PINS
Quoted from TheLaw:Ramp wireform looks a bit much on first glance, but like I been saying the more unlicensed the better.
that is exactly the kind of insane wireform I want to see from a fresh company! LOL
I have to agree with the previous comment on the art package. It is all over the place- hand painted art, photoshops of women and hand drawn art for logos. There is nothing cohesive. Fun to shoot but the art is lacking.
Quoted from cait001:that is exactly the kind of insane wireform I want to see from a fresh company! LOL
Fair enough, I just want a good fun game Hopefully it hits on all fronts.
The rules and most of the layout looks to be a hit...but Balcer clipped the flow up the middle again. I guess we'll see how it plays later.

Hoping the art is still a work in process. It's a really great start, but nowhere near what I would call finished.
There will always be people that don’t like the art, and those that do. Standing back and watching people play this game and listening to the comments everybody seems to be enjoying it right off the bat. I have no affiliation with American pinball other than owning a Houdini
On their games you can adjust the power settings on each coil, so that may make a big impact in the flippers
Quoted from ZMeny:SDTM Exclusive: Oktoberfest: Pinball On Tap
Great video, thanks! Looking forward to hearing your guys thoughts on the game.
Layout, gameplay, and artwork look good to me with this initial reveal. Can't wait to see it at a northeast show
The main thing that bothered me was the amount of metal music. That's not the kind of music that usually gets played at the Oktoberfests I've been to... Anyone know if there's an option to reduce the metal and increase the polkas?
This game exceeded my expectation, nice job team!! That being said, this theme is second to only Dialed In as the worst theme ever! Oh wait, I forgot Roller Coaster Tycoon, with those pathetic trolls. I am out!
Quoted from Wmsfan-GAP:On their games you can adjust the power settings on each coil, so that may make a big impact in the flippers
I meant the pattern.
Don’t know about audio adjustments or changes yet. *I* don’t think I would even consider one if it was heavily polka.
Play time will tell. Theme questionable- sure. No licensing expenses with this theme. Makes the game less expensive and more likely to make more games..

LOL. I was saying the opposite. I was like "that polka is going to get old", but then heard more metalish-polka.
Quoted from Rarehero:Art package - Alvin G. & Sega had a baby.
Hmmm.....Personally I don't see much Sega, but Alvin G fo sho. Alvin G & Python maybe?
It is going to be real interesting comparing this game in features and price as compared to the so-called next great Stern that is soon to be announced, the Munsters.
It would have been nice if they could have announced the price on Oktoberfest tonight.
