Quoted from CactusJack:the Alternate Backglass which doesn't look as bad as the movie glass
Yeah...and it's rated A for adult.
Quoted from kvan99:Best thing you've said so far sport.......
Here are a few tastefully moded pins with James' help of pinballbulbs.com as a counterpoint.
Still no.
Quoted from kvan99:You keep holding on to that truth with the rest of the pious followers of the white light.
lol... whatever dude, it's just pinball.
Quoted from Darscot:This should be good for a laugh, your not actually going try and convince us the science of art. All that is going to be proven is you have no understanding of either.
You do realize that you can hold an opinion...and at the same time that opinion can be factually wrong.
Quoted from Jive:This is my submission. On the right is when I first got the machine, and the left is after I fixed it. The purple didn't look bad in person, just too dark.
See...there is artwork on that table.
Quoted from irobot:You know what would be a good product?
If someone with artistic ability put together LED light sets that slightly enhanced the look of the original game.
The way to figure it out would be to start out by replacing all the incandescent bulbs with a warm white frosted bulb with identical brightness.
Then you would artfully swap out certain bulbs for cool white to enhance certain blues and greens.
Then you would swap out certain bulbs with slightly brighter bulbs to enhance dark areas as needed.
Then you would swap out certain insert bulbs with colored bulbs to enhance tired inserts.
At that point, you'd have a mix of LED bulbs that made the game look newer and better. Use the technology to artfully rejuvenate and improve the game.
Instead of making the game look like a nightmare you had after you ate sardines, chocolate ice cream, a taco bell burrito supreme, and a bottle of chambord.
Well here is what a STTNG backbox looks like originally (top) followed by what I did to it with LEDs (bottom) (That bright light just above the upper ship is just a reflection from a ceiling light):

Quoted from Dee-Bow:Please re-post all the messages you guys send to these companies telling them that they're idiots and ruining pinball for selling colored light bulbs!
No
Quoted from Jason43:So I'm curious to see what the consensus is on my lost world. It's got the full led treatment, with warm whites in the gi and colors in the inserts and pop bumpers.
That's not terrible.
Quoted from tamoore:Do you play in the dark or with overhead lights on? I think this makes a difference.......
Lights on...almost always. I even think they look better that way. My lights aren't super bright though.
Quoted from Darscot:Pinball always equates to a dark arcade or pub
I've never seen a totally dark arcade... or pub for that matter.
