Looks like a perfect candidate for an Insane Clown Posse retheme.

Looks like the rare version of this game: Embrybarf.
Quoted from cjchand:BRB. I’m gonna go Trademark “Holy Shit Balls” as a pin theme.
everyone that LED'd a game featured in this thread, already kinda coined it.
Quoted from Ricochet:Purple Harry[quoted image]
People usually puke dirty harry purple. I'm not surprised.
Quoted from AntennaMan:Photography can play a major part. My son took this picture, using what filter I have no idea, but I do know every bulb is a frosted warm white comet and the playfields & backglasses are stock. This is an iPad shot of the framed picture he gave me.[quoted image]
Looks like a reflection causing the weird colors on the playfield?
Quoted from MD_Pinball_Dude:Looks like a reflection causing the weird colors on the playfield?
This was a picture I took of the framed picture my son took. There's a glass in front of the picture which I think is giving the reflections you're talking about. The colors though, glass or no glass, they're there. I don't know where they came from, but I'm not a photographer. I just posted this to give an idea how wildly different a picture can be than real life. Only frosted warm white lights in both games. I think it's a cool picture, but it'd drive me nuts if it looked even remotely like this in real life.
Quoted from tomdotcom:[quoted image]
I'm usually in full agreement with the opinions here, but this Embryon is playfield is fantastic looking considering the theme.

Question: While these machines may look bad, how much of it is an individual person choosing LED's vs. buying a kit.
I myself looked at buying an LED kit for Indianapolis 500, but decided against it after seeing the images. If I had not noticed, my machine would have looked just like many here and be out $200+.
Unfortunately, a lot of new folks fall prey to colored GI. They see kits and think that's the thing to do. They see a few posts that pump up rainbow puked games and think, that's what a modernized game looks like these days. FB is notorious for this. Props to Neo for fighting that fight on FB lol.
Profit margins are also higher on selling kits vs bulbs of one color (ie white). A pack of 100 bulbs will cost you $65 shipped and do most, if not a complete game, vs a kit that is $200+. The vendors know that, so they push it. So to answer your question, its probably a sliding scale of individual preference to what's being marketed.
Some people genuinely like the color bombed games...

and it's an uphill fight, but I have notice a great reduction in the amount of stupidity displayed on FB since people have been taking shit for it.

What. In. The. Actual. F#ck.
Yeah bro, that looks great doood....
you need to play it in direct sunlight in order to see anything.
On the plus side. he took a lot of shit on facebook about it, and converted it all to white. So he corrected his mistake.

Or did he just post a before picture and not actually convert it?
