Thanks for sharing. I have an Airborne and enjoy playing it very much. The end of game sequence is particularly cool. Night flying animations too. I'm fascinated by the Capcom story and am sure others are too. I'm always interested to hear more about it.
Quoted from DMDDude:DMC, Airborne was my first pinball game. I am not sure, but it might be the first pin to use 3D rendered animations (is there a way to know?).
*I haven't seen an effect like it before or since. Others reading this thread may know.
I worked a while on the game over sequence and loved it. The attract animation, too (a pin transforms into a jet pin and flies off).
*Indeed. This is very cool. Watching the animations gives me a "Yeah!" punch-the-air feel. It really appeals to my inner young adult enthusiasm for aviation.
Night flying was a highlight, definitely. Buzz the tower had a final animation where it gets pulled out of the ground and flies up. I thought it made for a great finish. When the game was done, it was set for free play in our little arcade room and it drew a good amount of play.
*Sounds like good times. How was Airborne "launched"? At a show? Was there a party?
I didn't work on Pinball Magic. But it did make an impression on me.
*I have a PM too. Next to Airborne.
*Did you work with Claude? Was Airborne like his comeback to pinball design? Who knows what became of all the other members of the team?
*Thanks for sharing. Have you got any pics from those days in the factory?
Thanks Kevin. I believe Bryan Hansen is a mechanical engineer with JJP. There's also a Pinside member called PinballMagic who I suspect worked for Capcom. Not sure if it's one and the same. Here's a pic from the web, and although it might not be the Airborne team, there's probably people you will recognize.
Kevin, what was your inspiration for the pilot animations when shooting the spinner on Airborne? I really like it and it's great how his cheeks start flapping as you get more airspeed. It reminds me of something but I don't know what...Roger Ramjet, or Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff, or The Rocketeer movie?
Hey Kevin. Last weekend I took my nice Airborne to Pinfest at Caves Beach, Newcastle. Our Pinfest is open to the public and entry proceeds go towards charity. There were 65 machines present with hundreds of visitors attending and playing the machines on free play. I watched dozens of people play the Airborne and they all were having a great time. The more experienced pinheads there also loved playing the game as many of them hadn't seen one, let alone played one. At the end of the weekend the machine was awarded Best DMD and Best in Show for how nicely it presented. I have the LED OCD board in it which really brings the machine to life. So thanks again for your contribution to the game. Now I just need to get in touch with Claude as well ☺️
Saw this on SilverUnicorn business card. ^
