This looks awesome! I'm sold just by looking at the BG.

#215 9 years ago

You ain't kidding, Ted. No playfield or cabinet artwork and it still looks awesome. I can't wait to see it completed with a video of game play. The cabinet has a perfectly retro look, kinda like those old Seeburg jukeboxes.

If/when you get the time to complete it, I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

Bummer! I noticed some new posts and was hoping for an update.

Quoted from epotech:

Sorry but nothing amazing to see

I disagree, I think it looks awesome.( not kidding in the least either)

My favorite sci-fi film...can't wait to see this!!

I always loved the Robby the Robot. He always reminded me of a giant version of Gomez's ticker tape machine.

Let you work out what this custom mech does.

No clue, but it looks like progress to me.

I think it's time for a progress report.

Nice work!
The layout for this game looks pretty sweet. Are those drop targets on the right side? Drop targets are underutilized in pins these days and is something I always liked shooting at.

Definitely post a video. I would love to see it.

#266 8 years ago

Great videos! I agree, the wiring job is second to none. Very efficient and the overall design looks like it would be easy to trouble shoot. Spinners are also always a nice touch too.

Quoted from mof:

Hoping for a movie #3 with 10 minutes of game play to observe the flow of the design.

I'd like to see that too.

Yes!
This Island earth
War of the Worlds (50's)
When Worlds Collide
The Thing (50's)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (50's)
Incredible Shrinking Man
The Time Machine
The Fly
Invaders from Mars

Them!
I Married A Monster From Outer Space
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Ray Harryhausen films
Mighty Joe Young

I remember back in the 70's early 80's they use to play these classics every Saturday afternoon. The Boris Karloff films were my favorite. The Mummy always scared me when I was a kid.

Haven't been on here for quite a while and this is still one of my all time favorite projects. Looks great and I can't wait to see more of it.

What is that supposed to mean? Why is there an issue with the Thread name? Either way, great looking project.

#392 6 years ago

Ironic? Not so much, but it is unfortunate. Clearly nobody is supporting that kind of garbage on this thread. I think too many people assume everybody on here is up on all the pinball related news and that's just not the case.
I knew nothing of this child porn arrest and have nothing but disgust for Trudeau. I still think this is a great project and look forward to seeing more progress.

How long till you get some artwork on that playfield?

Is this project still moving forward? I'd love to see an update if there is one.

#439 2 years ago
Quoted from epotech:

I took the lockdown (leicester UK was over a year!) to finish the code. Really only needs art.
Unfortunatley my attention has been elsewhere after being fired and suing them. It was supposed to ne at the recent UK pinfest but after 5 months unemployed I couldnt afford to take it.

Good luck to you. I hope things pan out with your job and hopefully, one day, we'll get to see the finished product.

Outstanding work. This game is going to be awesome once you get some artwork on that playfield.
