Hello all, I've been out of the loop on this game for a couple years now apparently and just noticed these upgrades! My question(which I'm sure has been addressed somewhere in here) is there a way I can get online with my home machine? I tried when I first got it but after I mentioned it was a home machine the guy from coinup said I couldn't because I wasn't an operator? So now mines offline with an older 8.08 code. Assuming I should be able to pay the monthly fee and get the upgrades somehow correct? Or do I just put it online again and not mention its a home unit this time? Really want the other modes and online competition sounds badass as well! Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

From what I understand.

If you have a big buck HD unit they will give you the upgrades to the latest reloaded with a 12/mo $40/month commitment which includes online features like our tournament and every single mode, upgrade, and every single new mode as long as you are paying the $40/mo.

Go offline after 12 months and you will have everything you currently own, all updated to the last version released when you stopped your sub.

Okay great, thank you! Yeah it's a big buck hd so I'll call them tomorrow and get this setup hopefully. Sounds like a big difference to an already sweet game though..thanks again

Is your tournament white tails only, or are all animal hunts available?

Several animals are in the tournament, you should join us

I will help spread the word, but I had went with offline. (My signal/cable is iffy here).

I random everything except zombie deer.

That is close, but a couple things.

Call coin up and get the free "reloaded" update and topper. Once you have it updated, then you can go online. The current cost is $39.99 a month.

From what I understand, the 12 month contract is only on the brand new games. For the used customers that are upgrading they can go online for one month if that's what they choose.

I have only played zombie deer twice. I would play it more if the bonus rounds were unique.

I play Moose the most, because I like the bonus rounds with it. (my favorite bonus round in the whole game is shooting the moonshine jugs).

2nd favorite is big horn sheep.

If your online, you can replicate any hunt you want and change whatever you want. Keep all the sites the same and just change the bonus rounds if you want.

You would set up your own tourney which lots of us do anyway because you have to do that to track stats. They are bringing stat tracking to casual soon though.

The music is not the same in tournament though, just saying.

Figured I would plug my FS ad here for a used BBHD Panorama (with screen, if you want it) if anyone is looking for one...

I have two guns for sale

2 light guns, cables and mount plates (green and orange guns) from a Buck Hunter Pro for sale. Both work, but are in used condition.

They are just sitting in my garage so make an offer!

No doubt, they need enable the 5th site for freeplay users and enable logging in.

They say they are working on it now, hopefully soon.

Hell yeah in Both clubs thanks to the mighty Christopher at KingPinGames!! Shooting birdies and buck, can't get better then that! Loving the games and to my amazement so do my wife and kids who at times don't even care that there is a gameroom downstairs lol. For anyone considering, I have (as usual) nothing but incredible praise for the service/support for KingPin Christopher. I wish every transaction was as smooth as this for everything. The Buck hunter was used but looked like new and he set it up exactly as I wanted without a hitch. Good fun, good times!

Snooping side note: For anyone interested it looked like he had Several like new condition Buck Hunter games in stock ready to go!

I came within 500 points of not being last, so I basically won.

Trust me, I would give you a run for your money for Last place lol.

Joined the club last week. Been looking at getting a shooter for a long time. This new "mini" cab is perfect. Thanks to KingPinGames for dropping it off.

Went with online for now, and will do the $40 a month and reevaluate after 1 year. Thought about going all in at nearly $10k offline, but online is more reasonable and lets you try stuff out before committing to anything offline, if ever.

Pros:

Killer build quality, instantly thought how this is not some cheap Stern.
Lots of metal, these toppers could kill someone if they fell on your head.
Mini comes with awesome monitor, heavy duty chassis, and what feels like thick glass on the screen.
Cabinet is stunning, with color changing LEDs integrated into music/lightshows, gameplay, and even attract mode.
While big, it's perfect size to get in most homes, unlike their later model driving games and whatnot.
Kids and friends have already played it more than any other pinball ever in my basement.
Game variety and selection.

Cons:

Goofy, confusing pricing models, they should just gear a home version software package with everything for $8k or so.
Too much stuff you'll never use at home, that could save on price/packaging for home buyer. (Verizon 4g, credit card chip and pin swiper, bill validator, etc.)
Getting game setup for "home use" mode not straight forward, it's not hard either. I can see "old" people struggling here.
Games that aren't really pump shotgun-esk are laborious. Terminator is cool, and the mini/turret guns are a nice rest, but they should just code a setting where you can play with a machine gun in certain games. BBH is fun with pump, wouldn't change that, but since this is a variety focused cab, should have options for gun types.
While sound output is good, wish it had stereo.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will pass the suggestions of the Terminator settings on to the people that can make those decisions.

If anyone new is interested in joining into a tournament, as of now they end Tuesday’s (today) and I’ll start a new one up on Wednesdays (tomorrow)

Even if you aren’t into the competitive nature of it, for me it’s as much about having a few random rounds on the machine...

Plus. If you are not playing pro, which you can’t from home, a tournament is the only way to log in for stat tracking and to be able to play a 5th site.

I really wish we could do an international tourney.

Since your not an operator, what are the odds they would be willing to set you up with a US coinup account?

Since your not operating, maybe they would?

Longshot.

I will call tomorrow and see what they can do.

Week 3:

Is bi-weekly better than weekly? I have no issues with weekly, but could do bi-weekly if that works better for most.

If you are new and need a little help, which is a possibility, reach out and we will get it figured out.

1.) Sign into your coinup account
2.) Goto this URL: https://www.coinup.com/tournaments/editgamemachines/BBHD/1001994
3.) I'm assuming most of you only have one game, so tick the tick mark and hit submit game machines to add your game

This is a 3 trek (15 sites and 3 bonus rounds) random from all skill levels and all animals except zombie deer. Screw zombie deer. It's a high score tournament, play as many times as you want and the highest score takes it.

A few caveats:

Everything is free from the coinop account to the play. There is no cost to this. Once you add this tournament to your game you cannot remove it. This tournament lasts for one week so it will be on your machine for one week. Also, I set the costing to it's lowest level, but it still wants $0.25 to play. Maybe run a $100 bill through the machine. There are no actual charges to play, just a quark that it needs some coins in to start. Or you can just hit the coin actuator on the coin mech a few times, however you want to do it.

This weeks tournament:

Thanks for organizing these, just signed up again. I don't mind weekly either, but could also seen an argument for biweekly. It would be great if you could post the standings for the tournament once it is completed as it seems to disappear from my game at that point.

Your the Man. Just wanted to say Thank You for arranging events like this! The game is really fun but getting groups of like minds together further improves the enjoyment.

Subnote: Unless there is a machine gun option I missed I still suck at this game! lol

Thanks Jalpert. I am ok with either weekly or bi-weekly.

Thanks again for setting these up, makes it much more interesting to play!

Regards
Ed

Thanks guys! I personally love the tournament, It's a lot of fun trying to not be last.

I agree. I have this information and haven't posted it because people play with their real names and I need to link them to their pinside name to make it relevant. Which I might try and do really quick if I can figure it out.

This was easier than I thought....

Four players in week 1:

1.) twenty84 - 30,311
2.) eharan - 27,905
3.) jalpert - 27,255
4.) MT45 - 19,530

Three players in week 2:

1.) eharan - 35,520
2.) twenty84 - 29808
3.) jalpert - 29304

KingPinGames and everyone else. I got the call from Beth at Play Mechanix this week to officially sign up my home use online fee. There are no contractual obligations, meaning you can go online or offline at your preference. The 12 month contract thing was not interpreted correctly, or is no longer the case.

i will get some clarity on this and report back.

thank you

Beth told me the same thing a few months ago. She said for home users, they are not locking people in for 12 months and you can go month to month and cancel anytime.

Evening all - due to some unfortunate circumstances, I have decided to sell my practically new Big Buck Hunter Reloaded Panarama with 60" LED TV. $4500 in Atlanta. Smoke Free, Pet Free home and I still have all of the original packaging material if you need to ship it.

I also have my Crusin' Blast, Power Putt and Atari PONG Coin-OP for sale along with my Pins if you see my other ADs.

Anybody get the arcade 1up version of BBH? Any good, worth the price, good quality or cheap?

I hope everything will turn out awesome for you and you will not have to sell anything.

In the meantime if I hear of anyone looking I will try to help.

This is a very good deal.

It’s not out yet, keeps getting delayed. Best Buy has it at 1/22 now...

As much as I love the mini, if this deal was around when I bought mine, it would be hard to pass up this panorama.

RetroGamerJP could you measure size of the translite/marquee? I wonder if I could buy the one and swap it out with the one on my mini, thanks. I'm guessing it's wider, but not sure.

Sure thing - my marquee assembly is a bit over 41" (41 3/8" to be exact)

Looking to join the tourney this weekend. Never done it. Looks fun!

Excellent. Reach out here if you have any issues.

Make sure it's not just a dead battery - try turning the cpu on with the button on the front of the case. Start from there and work your way back.

Finally played online "Showdown". Was pretty fun, kinda cool seeing the winners replays as well. I'll have to try joining the tournament here.

Definitely join the tournament...its a lot of fun. Jalpert put up a huge score this week that is virtually unbeatable! Great job Jalpert!

I agree but I think you had the unbeatable score last week.

I was happy with it!

I was just happy to be competitive.
