Thought I would start a Data East Tropedo Alley club. Only 1002 machines produced so I guess it is "The few the proud" and friends who are interested or just enjoy the Pin..
Post pics of your Torpedo Alley all conditions and fixer uppers .
Let's see how many machines are out there!
Thanks all-
Frankmac
Quoted from LoveNeverDiesGuy:Nice find. How much you pay for it? One of the better DE. Amazing sound.
2K shipped.
Quoted from vec-tor:Torpedo Alley's translite is one of the most expensive to produce.
The guy had black leotards on and his junk kept showing.
So they ended up airbrushing white pants on him.
Thank for the info ! I thought I was in a room by myself lol. The pant look stunning!
Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:Really digging this game now!! , bought it thinking I would play it awhile & then move it on but now thinking its a keeper at least for a good lil while .......& I have been working on it , pimping it out .... managed to modify & fit some mirror blades in it , Leds .... I will get some pics. up once I finish with one more thing I want to try
Great news! Post away ..I love to see other pinballers ideas and mods!
Quoted from snyper2099:It's not an easy game to find. They only made 1,000 of them and MOST of them were sold outside of the USA. (Rarest regular production DE machine) I had two of them at the same time. Still can't believe that!
It was hard to find one . I am very happy I did...
Quoted from CaptainNeo:i liked mine when I had it. I was trying to figure out a way to change the stand ups into drop targets. i think it would have been even better then. Would just feel like damaging a ship if you are knocking down parts of the ship picture.
"Aye,Aye Captain" ! Great idea!
Quoted from Hawk007:Love mine. Will never sell it. Great game and always fun to play. The sounds and lighting are fantastic. Perfect 80's cheese that we all know and love.
Feel free to share a pick of your "Torpedo"!!
Quoted from fmofmpls:Just trolling waters of this Torpedo Club. I have a DE Laser War and would someday love to own a Torpedo Alley. It's interesting seeing some of the similarities between early Data East games.
Laser Wars is one of my all time favorites. Torpedo Ally is Awesome..
Quoted from goingincirclez:Just picked this up on Monday... prepping for the improvements and fixes and shop job, and need to ditch the awful blue pf leds... but it's otherwise working 100% and a ton of fun. Love the sounds and the music has really grown on me.
This one came with a black lockdown bar, but I'm not a fan, it just doesn't look right to me. If anyone has a standard DE bar they'd like to trade, let me know.
Congrats! The pin looks great!
