Looks good. I like the blue.

Looks great! I've always wanted to play one of those. It's Alvin G, right?

Looking good

Looks super.

Very well played. Looking great!!!

Not sure I'd have gone with blue, I quite like the warmth the lighting has on this one as standard. However - did you put LEDs in the backbox? That's something I've been thinking of to reduce the temperature changes on the backglass. Mine has a couple of small spots of delamination, someone has clearcoated it to stop any more. Be nice to reduce the risk.

I think it looks awesome .What style of LED did you use for the G.I. Would like to know exact bulb type and what company. The red looks very cool. Thanks. I have been messing around with color changing slow/fade.Under the saucer of AFM there are two plastics I put ciontaker44 color changing slow/fade there it looks cool.On my STTNG back-box I used two 555 color changing slow/fade behind the picture of the Enterprise. I wish I could play your cool pinball good job.

Ive been looking for a MC for months....If you get tired of her, let me know please.

This game is high on my list of "needing to play". New lights look incredible!

That looks nice. I definitely want to LED my MC playfield now! I did the backbox a few years ago to reduce the strain on the power supply board/GI connector (Alvin G loaded that circuit pretty heavily and the connector or board is commonly burnt)

At any rate, I've been happy with how they looked in the backbox, and I always wondered how the playfield would look with LEDs.... Thanks for sharing!

Sorry a bit OT but anyone have thoughts on Alvin G's Al's Garage Band goes on a World Tour?

I Never even Knew this Pin existed !! Look's to Be Cool !!! You Should do a Video of Yr's and Load it onto You_Tube.. There's Only 1 video of Mystery Castle to date.

It's not a bad game at all. I had to sell mine a few years back to pay some bills, but I'd love to find another one.

The video mode is decent and the music/sound effects are great. Gameplay is okay and there's a nice wizard mode as well.

That dang "CD spinner" gearbox always seemed loud and annoying though...

Lol. Poor robertmee.

After watching the youtube video the cd spinner did seem loud and obnoxious. Reminds me heavily of the spinning soccer ball on World Cup Soccer which always seems to piss me off. I really want to play this Al's Garage Band game as well. Upper mini guitar playfield? I'm in!

Sadly, that guitar upper playfield really has nothing to do on it. There are just 3 rollover switches at the bottom for the ball to hit....that's it! While it looks neat, it's a hugely wasted piece of playfield real estate.

Alvin G's Punchy The Clown anyone?

It's not bad either. I bought one for the kids (at least that's what I told my wife ), but I play it more than they do.

Sigh....

man that pin look cool, yeah i also never knew this pin existed.

That's actually the video I put up. I'd love to do a better one at some point. I have been holding out to try to get my roms upgraded first. I think Mystery Castle is off the freagin' hook! After years of ownership I still play it very frequently and always get a good adrenaline rush from it! Here's a shameless plug for my little Alvin G website...

There's also a new Michael Gottlieb interview at www.pinballcountry.com where a lot of age old Alvin G questions get answered. It's looking almost certain there was only ~200 Mystery Castle's made.

Thank you, I'm glad you like my collection!

Interesting info on the controlled lamps. I knew Capcom machines have some issues with LEDs, but I had never heard about this on Alvin G's. I'll have to look into this.

Thanks for the heads-up, Brian. I knew Bret was getting close to releasing the first portion of the interview, but I didn't know it was out yet.

Cool stuff for us Alvin G nuts! And yes, I'd agree that this was somewhat the confirmation we were looking for on the MC production number. I can't wait for parts two and three of the interview!
