Quoted from ZenTron:I also had some questions to ask prior to sending an email and having a spot held for me. (You and others call this whining of course). If I was Charlie I'd send you a PM and tell you to chill out and don't tell people who should and shouldn't be a Spooky customer. If you want that ability you should start your own pinball manufacturing company. I have a couple of names on what you could call it..
I went ahead and sent an email last night to KT and will wait for a response but Spooky's site sucks when it comes to communication about this game. There is that small promo video and "To get on the sales list or check game availability, email:" . It says to get on sales list email them but it doesn't elaborate that they will hold a spot for free. Maybe they should setup a FAQ or maybe they don't care because there is enough demand for the game. I know Charlie posts here, on facebook and has a Podcast but the website should have official formal information including a timeline etc..
Getting on the list is just for the LE list correct? The remaining slots for the standard edition will go on sale on or after 6/4? Just making sure.
Thanks
I wonder when Charlie and the Spooky gang will do the first unveiling (unless it was posted already). Cant wait.

Quoted from PinChili:Dumb question .. but what is it? I know Captain Spaulding from the movies ... but wasn't there a Captain Spaulding commercial for fried chicken? Is that what this is supposed to be? A bucket of Captain Spaulding's chicken?
Spooky is a small company and this is only their 2nd pin. They don't have a R&D department and a ton of engineers. KISS - Keep it Simple Stupid. If it means a difference of 3 to 4 months in development time then screw it for now. They can always add support to for a colorDMD thing later. Trust me, if this one is as fast as AMH you wont have time to see much of it unless your watching someone else play. Just getting a playable pin together with a cool theme is where their time and effort will go.

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:I've never heard of this Svengoolie guy... did some googling and he seems to fit the theme though
He's the equivalent to Elvira on Saturday Nights playing a "B" horror movie and making corny comments here and there. Actually, he's pretty entertaining.

Quoted from SpookyCharlie:The game is dark, gory, R rated, vulgar, PG-13 even in family mode, and not for everyone. It will be brutal to play and something unique. We've made a ton of improvements across the board (no pun intended)... and hoping everyone likes what we do isn't realistic, so I hope a solid 300 of you do.
My 2 hobbies for the past decade have been Ghost Hunting and collecting Pins/Vids however I didn't get AMH. I still don't know why one isn't sitting in the house. From playing AMH I did like the little things you guys did with the game. You're not going to be able to make everyone happy with the game. It sounds like you are designing it as a fan of Horror, RZ and Pinball so we cant ask for more.

This just popped up in my Facebook memories thingy from 2 years ago and I thought it was appropriate 
I snagged this picture at the time.
"Crazy night at 9:30 club in DC. Rob Zombie walked out into the crowd and hopped on top of the bar by us. As he got up on the bar he kicked my wife then he freaking gave me a fist bump! - Awesome!"

I'm so excited, I just fell out of the bathtub.
Ugh....this is going to be awesome and We haven't even seen the reveal! Really stepping things up.
I thought those were tree branches also.
As a pin/vid collector and fan of RZ this is a dream come true to have a pin with this theme. To me its an underdog theme because no one but Spooky had the major balls it takes to do a RZ music pin. This is their 2nd pin and still a new company but they are really taking big chances with everything.
It never worried me about having someone new to pinball do the code. It leaves Ben free to do other items on the pin. The inserts are pretty cool looking and love what Ben with them. I was taken back a bit by the "sparse" art on both playfields (like everyone) however its not a deal breaker for me by a long shot. Its still bad ass.
I've been fooled by art on pins such as BSD and AFM only to play and love them to death. The dots/color DMD, gameplay, music and voices/call outs look like they are going incredible. Im looking forward to putting this game in my line up.
Just listening to the Coast to Cost Pinball Pod cast with Charlie today and there is a lot more going on than meets the eye as far as shots. There are 3 possible paths that shooting the left most orbit will deliver the ball. There are also 4 or 5 orbits that open up for crazy amount of flow. Its listed on the flyer but there are 4 sling shots (2 lower and 2 upper). Add those to the asymmetrically located pop bumper creates really fast and random movement to the game.
After I heard this I really I mean really pumped about the game.
Here is the pod cast again...

Quoted from Shapeshifter:Disappointing.
Metal just adds a touch of class and is a nice way to make it look better quality.
It is and it isnt but once its under glass you wont even know the difference. It knocks a few bucks off of production probably.
RZ just announced his new CD coming out January 11, 2016. The video was posted on his Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/RobZombie/videos/10153479633913323/?pnref=story
Quoted from Flipper-Maniac:Only 300 made, and only for the US-Market... why ?? There are many fans of RZ in Europe and the rest of the World also, come on, make some more and ship them to europe. AMH was only sold in US. Remeber, that the key market of W/B in the 90s was Europe, especially germany!
Maybe their games are up to the export code (lead code?) for other countries. Remember they are a tiny ass company doing runs of 150 and 300.
Quoted from RavagedUnicorn:Sorry if I missed it, but, Fawzma are you doing the dots too, or just code?
I believe he's doing just the code. Another guy is doing the DoTs.
Quoted from benheck:Wow, Bible Adventures is selling faster than AMH already.

Quoted from kpg:None of you guys are worried that this title is made by a new company with no experience making pinball machines either? Just trying to see how this machine is a day one purchase at $8K+. Seems risky. But that's just my opinion of course.
Obviously you dont know enough about the company to even comment. Read and learn before posting.
It was funny watching Devils Rejects and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 how similar they are. Different but very similar with 2 sheriffs seeking revenge for a nutty family that killed their brother.

I've never shipped to Europe but I can only imagine its a pia with lead/solder restrictions. What other regs to they impose?

I wonder how many are completed now?
On another note...
There looks to be enough space at the back right corner for a LCD Mod like Mike D made for AC/DC. There's enough video material with "Corpses", "Rejects" and Concert video to make a very cool add on. 
From watching some of the gameplay vids it seems like its chaos. Is this a new category of pins? Flow, Stop and shoot, chaos?
Quoted from ATLpb:Pausing for a second and realizing, this game was announced less than a year ago and is already shipping, despite:
1) its only their second game 2) they moved physically 3) they didnt have a full time programmer at the start of the project 4) its their first license 5) they werent quite done shipping first game.
They are a highly motivated group at Spooky. Its unbelievable really and pretty bad ass. Bad ass because the live in Wisconsin...and they built the new factory and moved in the middle of freaking winter there!
I'm still enjoying his last one with Dead City Radio. I wasn't a big fan of Hillbilly Deluxe II but some of the songs grew on me.
I hope someone does an LCD mod ala AC/DC Mike D's interactive LCD ver. There is enough space to mount an LCD on the upper right backboard by the Captain Spaulding Toy and VUK There are music vids for all the songs and tons of footage from 2 movies referenced in the game not to mention a concert DVD. I'm sure there is a way to connect into the game and Ben Heck would even write code or help out. Anyway, just a thought.
RZ at Allentown Pinfest today. Everyone there said they loved the game who I got a chance to speak with. I did notice the 2nd time around playing it that it was warm booting during play. Meaning...the display had a code coming up however the game still played. The sound was intermittently loud then low. This was around 3PM ish Friday.
All in all I liked the gameplay and overall appearance of the game. Stunning really and bad ass. I'm not sure I like the C H O P rule. Spell shop at anytime to enable a ball save. I don't know any pin that has done that. I have heard Charlie say the game is brutal and they know it so that's why its there.
On another note...I played the Big Lebowki with updated rules (especially from last year) and that game it pretty freaking cool also. I don't know if it is $10K cool but with the included rug its pretty awesome.

I'm still hoping for a Pinball Mike D interactive LCD mod for the right side of the back board. Come on Mike! 
Man, hats off to Charlie and Spooky for being able to produce back to back games pretty much on time. I cant imagine how difficult it must be to start a new pinball co. today. So much success out of the gate.
Sid Haig and Bill Moseley will be in Pittsburg, PA if you want to get your translite signed. Both are super nice to meet and love their fans. My wife and I have been going to this conference for a few years and its one of the better run ones. We say we aren't going to the next one but then they announce their guest list but there is always someone we want to get an autograph from.

Quoted from FawzmaGames:V010 is out now
From Spooky's FB Page on this update...
"There will be a big ol' Rob Zombie code update coming later today with lots of fun features (like shaker code, dirty pool, etc) and MANY code bugs squashed! We're working hard to get this more polished & professional going forward. I'll post a link once available. Thanks for the patience all you cool customers & location players! smile emoticon"
From Spooky's FB page today when someone asked about what number they were on...
"Spooky Pinball LLC - Hard to say.. ships when customer is ready for delivery, so some go sooner than others. 100 plus built. "
Quoted from hAbO:I wonder if there will be any clips from the Devils Rejects or House of a 1000 Corpses for animations? I remember seeing an initial clip when they announced the color DMD.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:That would be pretty cool!
Yeah, I was hoping for a few to make it in the game but it might be a license thing. The clip Spooky initially showed in that gif was the one Ben posted a few months back. Pinside doesn't show gifs anymore 
From Fawzma Games FB:
"Running over zombie hands with a mower just got fun smile emoticon
If you have the RZ shaker, you'll know what I mean.
EMY V011 fixes
Fixed - Flippers are killed and handled properly when selecting modes. Was causing fuses to blow!
Fixed - Chop saves removed from infection mode
Fixed - Outlane ball saves disabled during multiball
Fixed - Reworked forced ball save on multiball starts, game wll try to keep same amount ejected out for the duration of the force
Update - Infected flippers option removed (opposite flipper option)
Update - Collecting ramp hands (lawn mower) triggers shaker"

Toothpick or even a bit of plastic from a wire tie with the screw or longer screw. I don't know if I'd use a screw to go through the playfield.
I think I'm going to add a spotlights on the slings to brighten the playfield up a little when I get mine. Charlie mentioned adding spots around the time of adding additional inserts.
My wife and I just saw an advance screening of Rob's new movie "31" tonight and it was pretty good. It pulls absolutely no punches. Someone should lock him up actually. It will be on video on demand 9/16 (I think) and officially out in the theaters October. Kind of weird as to why they are doing that. Definitely worth the watch IMO.
Quoted from 2Kaulitz:looks like my game well ship next week
What number are you again?
Quoted from emkay:Probably doing it in that order to generate more controversy for the theatrical release. I pay zero attention to when movies come out but I do want to see it, especially if it's a evil as you make it sound.
It was pretty good and I'd see it again. I think its better than his Halloween's and The Lords of Salem. His best work is House of 1000 Corpses and Rejects IMO. What was kinda cool is the guy playing Death-Head is Nihilist #3, Franz from The Big Lebowski and I think he pays homage to that character in this one.
Quoted from iceman44:Sheri F ing Moon. Sensational.
She looks great in this one also. Its hard to believe she's in her 40's now. Me too
Quoted from Jjsmooth:I think a bunch are being sold due to it being a kinda crappy machine. Quality feel just ain't there.....
Weird things happen on location or at home that never happen when designing a game. Spooky has addressed any issue head on and the code is constantly being tweaked with Dave taking/answering questions here. Sort of unprecedented access IMO. This is coming from a company 10-12 people deep. Below is the alternative company...

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/about-stern-and-commitment-to-code-releases
An LCD mod like Mike D's AC/DC would absolutely be bad ass. There is plenty of room near Spaulding. Think of all the clips from his movies, concert vid and music videos. I've mentioned it to him. His mod polls the software to know what song/mode its in and plays the appropriate video file. Its a very slick mod that looks fantastic in my AC/DC.
Great review and spot on! I cant wait to see it again. I think it will be on video on demand (check listings) and finally for an October release.
Does anyone know if movie clips were added in the game? I remember seeing a snipped of Grandpa from 1000 Corpses with "Its Showtime" but that may have been to show off the color display. Ben?
I wish there was a nicer font to the numbers and scores. It kind of reminds me main frame dumb terminal from the 70's Dave mentioned that the score font isn't easy to change though. Love gazing at the game through you guys though. Hoping to get ours mid/late October.
Quoted from 2Kaulitz:So Monday is the day my RZ #110 is supposed to be here I'm very excited for my 1st new in box
Congrats! The smell of a NIB is awesome. It smells like pure victory!
I might experiment with PPS Illuminated bats and add them to my RZ eventually as an add on...
You can change colors with a remote to see what looks better. Kind of nice looking.

Who knew there would be this many RZ's within 10-15 minutes of each other with 2Kaulitz, oopsallberrys and myself. Herg & jints56 aren't far either. Not that big of a deal on a larger run but 5 out of 300 seems like a cool coincidence.

None related to any code talk - after seeing this years Expo I'm kind of glad I stuck with getting RZ. Mine will be shipping at the end of the month. The new games like Dialed In and Batman/Robin look really nice however there's a balance on how much I'd be willing to spend especially not playing them first. RZ is a dream theme for me besides the point but it's also in a nicer price range with everything that is coming in the next few months. Fawzma and Spooky are really on it when it comes to service and attention to detail.
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Reno, NV
Any recommended settings (beyond 3-5ball & freeplay) to do out of the box? I heard mention of solenoid settings but is there anything else? Maybe rule wise also?
Quoted from zombywoof:I'm holding out for some cool Horley art for blades and backbox. Hasn't Charlie hinted at some licensed stuff in the pipeline?
I'd love to see and would pay for more art by Alex for back board and sides!
Charlie said in an earlier post that it was part of the license the playfield and art be darker. The artwork is fantastic but Alex Horley never did art for a playfield before. It was a new process for him.

Quoted from JOESCHALL:Great picture, Habo--something tells me you took this in person . . .
I can only hope I'm still upright at Sids age Joe!
RZ 154 now in the house for Herg (who's keeping track). Took the day off to pick it up and play
Initial impressions are positive after putting in 15 plays or so. Its fast, crude and dark which is what I wanted. Lots and lots of bass. After readjusting the base/treble, I stuck anti rattle tape on both sides of the glass. I still need to get a grasp of the rules now and play more before the final verdict.
Quoted from PinJump:Actually it looks like you have 153
I thought I was 153 at first but the box and last several emails from KT say 154 Is that your #?
2 days of playing the game and I must say it is addicting. The rules are slowly seeping in. Watching videos of people playing sometimes is different than playing yourself. People have stated they don't understand the rules but they are easier to put together than AC/DC which I love. I've completed a few modes which made me feel semi competent. You really have to get good at the outside orbit shots. Any deeper rule recommendations I'll let that up to the more seasoned players.
The skill shot I understand but its pretty difficult with the spring chosen for the shooter. I think it should be a Twilight Zone or one above. I've done it once by accident though. I think its worth 1 Million if completed.
The upper playfield never chucks the ball anywhere near the flipper. I increased the strength to 5 which sort of helps but I wish I had more of a chance to flip before SDTM. Still have to dial that in.
I recommend highly getting anti rattle tape for your anyone getting RZ. The sound can also be tweaked on the amp. If you can manage also getting Invisiglass. I swapped the one I had from another game and it made a world of difference in bringing out the playfield. I will add 2 spots for more light. Its just a tad dark.
So far my wish list or whiney want list for Dave aka FAWSMA and Spooky would be:
***1 - Limit the Pop Bumper animation for super pops. So many of these gives 2x, 5x 10x on the playfield inserts. The animation dominates the game throughout. So much it takes away from showing pertinent info especially during 1000 corpses. Every time I look up I see the super pop count when I really want to see how far along my count is for 1000 Corpses. 1000 Corpses animation is great but you hardly ever see it. My wife mentioned this also. Biggest gripe.
2 - Music/Sound for play again after getting an extra ball is missing. Seems incomplete
3 - Will there be an animation for receiving an extra ball? In most pins there's usually a stand out animation.
4 - It would be nice while in the jukebox function if the next song would play down the line instead of the same song on repeat.
5 - The sound when hitting the upper 2 targets near the House of 1000 Maniacs has a sound FX that when hit reminds me of a speaker popping/clicking. I thought there was an audio problem at first.
6 - Lastly, when putting in initials there should be a song playing or something a little more than what's used now. Its a maniacal low laughing? Maybe a song playing with Rob or Sid saying something positive.
All in all I'm really into the game and love what Spooky has done. Really impressed.
It would be helpful in the menu system to see what the (Factory Setting) as in Williams/Bally/Sterns for a baseline than resetting the game.
Couple questions for you guys...
Has anyone decided to install the mylar in there game? Still on the fence about it.
What modes are the 2 upper right blue inserts used on?
On the end of ball bonus round up I see "Hand Jobs" but I don't know how these are scored (no puns)
Great game and very challenging.
I just realized where Spooky mounted the 2 spotlights for additional lighting. They are under the apron by the trough shining back up the center playfield. One of the LED's wasn't present so I lifted up the playfield to see if it was somewhere in the cabinet. I didn't find the LED but I did find the extra gas station plastic
Quoted from sensfreak:How many times do you have to hit Captain Spaulding before he moves over? I am just wondering if it an accumulative thing or if there is something wrong with mine.
In "What" you have to collect chicken and gas then hit him 3x. During regular play I don't think he'll move over.
Anyone have a loose lockedown bar on their Zombie? Any recommendations on adjusting it?
Played a decent game tonight and rolled over 120 Million. I'm thankful Spooky/Fawz' allowed for the modes to save what was accomplished in case you failed the first time. It would make 1000Corpses one of the most frustrating modes ever. My best on a first attempt seems to always be around 700 Corpses.
Im hoping in one of the code updates that the "Super-Pops" animation can be shortened. Frustrating in 1000 Corpses and other modes because its so prevalently displayed.
Not drinking any cool aid here but RZ is pretty bad ass. The game has the right balance of achievable goals with chaos and unpredictability. One game your stepping up the ladder to Hellbound and the next it makes you feel like a newb. From what Charlie mentioned on the previous page about adding the remaining call outs and tweaking the code here/there will polish this game up nicely.
Making the $1k Non refundable makes better business sense. Being nice will hurt your business. A friend of mine has a batting cage business and didn't require a deposit to reserve cages and fields. He's a super nice guy but people would cancel at the last minute or would call to cancel and he would loose business. Eventually, he required credit card info and a deposit for reservations. Its a magical thing when you hold people to something.
Quoted from JoeHog:Is there any Mods that you would have the factory install that's a must have?
Honestly, I needed anti-rattle tape for the playfield glass. The 2nd best upgrade was 2 spot lights added to the right sling shot. I used purple in both to brighten the playfield a bit from pinballbulbs.com. Both make the game stock/ready to go. The knocker and shaker isn't really a big deal but could see getting them down the road.
Actually, I thought of adding lighted flipper bats from PinetaryPinball but that's it.
Quoted from PaulCoff:Dude...posts like this is the reason why Spooky won't include the coin slot door animation.
blockquote>Never heard of this. What was the animation supposed to do? Spooky has already blown the doors off the game with stuff. Might as well go all the way with everything. I mean most of the time the game says the F-Bomb 2 seconds after you hit start. Everyone so far loves it.
Here are other potential mods I might try down the road beside the gas pumps I mentioned.
Mounting chase lights around the Captain Spaulding and Fried Chicken/Gasoline signs from here. These match what was in the movie.

I bet Spooky underestimated that some might make it to Hell Bound before they could get the code completed.
Quoted from bemmett:Ok I was just listening to Zombie on my headphones past couple days while playing pins and there is SOOOO many awesome songs that need to be added to the game, can we get some in Spooky?!
Probably will never happen. Every person that worked/associated with the song has to get paid and the license for the game is very specific. Everything is in stone however I've been poking around the sound files in the SFX directory.
I've mapped all the sound file names to dialog and sound FX in a Word doc so that I wouldn't have to randomly click on a file to see what it is. I've ripped a few RZ movies to possibly add/replace some dialog. Otis, Grandpa, Rhondo, or maybe even a Doom Head have great lines. So far I haven't been successful. The 1 or 2 wavs I replaced play sloooow. The files appear to be PCM signed 16 bit 22KHz, 705Hz stereo and sampled at 30K.
Maybe someone smarter knows more.
Quoted from sparechange1974:That's happened to me a couple times. When it did, I noticed the rubber had come up out of the groove on one of the star posts. Seemed to happen on the far right or left post. If they are in the grooves and it's still happening, maybe turned sling power down just a bit
Haven't had this but I did have a ball fly back and under the apron, dropping into the cabinet by the coinbox area. Tell me the odds on that one.

Quoted from TheCreature:Pinblades (does anyone have video or photos of the pinblades installed in their RZ?)
Also - I want to keep this thing in mint condition. Short of not playing it, what do I need to do? Cliffys? What else? Any protective measures
Finally - where does everyone get that special non-glare glass?
I'll get a few pictures of my Pinblades after I get home from work. Really dresses up the game nicely and helps illuminate everything a little more.
I havent seen anyone with Cliffy protectors (nothing specific for RZ).
I've picked my inivisiglass from PinballLife.
Here's a couple of quick pictures of mirror blades in my RZ from https://PinballSideMirrors.com/. I really dig their side mirrors. They are high quality and aren't flimsy. I have them in my RFM/SWE1 also. Great packaging to make sure they arrive in one piece. Highly recommended.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Those look great. Which of their blades fit on Spooky pins? Stern? Williams? Didn't see an option for Spooky on their site.
Go to Special Regular Mirrors and in the pull down menu there is an option for RZ.

Quoted from Brian_Pinball:Mine does too.
I've mapped all the wav files on the game and location. Also, I've made a bunch of potential replacement wavs from ripped DVD's. There were a few call outs that would be awesome to have with Otis, Grandpa, Doctor Satan, etc to add even more variety. Direct replacement doesn't seem to work even using the same wav sample/format properties. I'm sure smarter people can figure it out.

Quoted from sulakd:What did you try? Updating the software in the game after replacing a wav file on the SD?
I straight replaced the wavs on the SD. I thought it would be as simple as that but...

Very cool Tim! I Love this and was thinking of how to dress that area up similarly. One of the things I was thinking of doing is getting "doll house" picture frames and sticking pictures of Ed Gein, Albert Fish and Doctor Satan pictures up there like in the movie.

$300 is VERY reasonable. Pinball Mike's AC/DC interactive LCD was $400 plus shipping.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pmd-%e2%80%93-acdc-interactive-lcd-mod-coming-soon
My only critique is that it doesn't play music vids for the modes or movie scenes like Mikes. I liked that Mikes is customizable and without having to get approval/convert files.
All the information is very cool and pertinent but wish it was displayed on the DMD in the first place. It definitely will help with understanding some of the objectives in the game for people.
Hopefully, I wasnt a downer in my previous post. Sounds like you have a lot of interesting stuff planned for this Dave! Thanks for the update and hard work with this and the game. Looking forward to v20!
I had him sign the LE trans also and couldn't say enough nice things about Charlie and the gang. He was absolutely blown away that they were taking on such a big project with as many people as they have. He loved the game.

From Fawzma on Facebook:
"RZ is getting a super loop mode for when you collect all the killer cards.
After collecting all the cards, you go into a timed mode. Shoot the inner loop as fast as you can to collect the value shown. You will have to figure out how best to get that value higher.
If you collect all cards while in a main mode.. murder ride mode will start right after that mode ends.
There are actually a bunch of new modes added.. You'll have to see them all when you get the update.
And yes,, there are boobies!"

v20 really makes the game feel more complete. New sounds, music, callouts, Dots, and things to collect...well done and the hard work shows. Different game going from 19v to 20v - Bad ass!
I'm having the same minor issues with game select and VUK like everyone else but that will be fixed.
Updated a friends machine this weekend. On a 2 player game when the shooting to the VUK the ball just sits there until the game performs a search for it. This doesn't clear up after the game is over. We rebooted the game and just played 1 player games.
Many new callouts, sounds and additional items to shoot for really makes the game play so differently. Its not just 1 ramp pony show but has a deeper feel making use of the playfield. I like the idea of a call out for 1KCorp multiball for say 250, 500, 750 and for completing it. Maybe do it in the same deep voice as the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 count down?
New call outs by Captain Spaulding for describing Ed Gein, Albert Fish and Dr Satan are awesome! I love the new creepy laugh from Spaulding also. I still wish "Otis" aka Bill Mosley had a few call outs could be used. "Boy, the next thing that comes out of your mouth better be some real Mark Twain s*#$..." / "There is no ice cream in your f*#@! future" / etc. the list goes on. Not sure how licensing works with that though.
Quoted from Medisinyl:I would take a look under the mini playfield to see if the switch pins are touching (there's one that can get whacked by the ball through the murder ride/LDG loop).
I don't think this is a wiring issue. It worked fine in 1 player mode. This VUK problem was one that Dave figured out and re-patched but wanted to let him/everyone know that it could still be present in multiplayer games.
I had stumbled upon an Easter Egg of sorts the other night. After finishing "What" and the ball drained to the ramp a 666K flashed on the screen real big and the theme from "Match Game" started playing. Taken back a bit I didn't get a chance to play very long afterwards. Kinda cool. Probably from the last update.
I know they stuck a Svengoolie easter egg in there somewhere.
Quoted from Fortytwo:Do you have infected turned on ? I thought this was the symptom of that. When you change your selection does the playfeild lights indicate the mode picked.
I had the same thing. Turned off infected. And then hard re boot the machine (waiting 15 seconds of the game off)
Second this - Turn it off and you will get the select screens again.
Quoted from GhostThruster:Just wanted to give a shout out to Tim at Tim's Pinball Mods. I threw in his RHPL Arrow Mod and it is a great addition! After I installed it, the mast had snapped when putting the PF back in the cab and he shipped me a new one, no questions asked. Great seller and the mod is highly recommended.
Note: the sign looks washed out in photos but in person you can see it clearly
Second this also! - The mods are modestly priced and awesome. The RHPL to me is considered an upgrade for obvious reasons but also because that sign is buried under the wire form ramp.

I think I've had higher scores by after beating a mode and keeping the ball in play getting jackpots. Easier said than done. I still have no idea what the x targets do. There is also a times I get a count down that's displayed in the 4 corners of the display. Anyone know what its for?
Quoted from davijc02:When you hit both of those blue x targets it triggers the lightning hurryup. You've got 20 seconds to shoot for the VUK to collect it. It starts @ 250,000
Thanks for that. You answered both my questions with this
From Fawzma's FB page...
There will be a RZ beta update for those that would like to try the latest fixes.. these are some of the things fixed.
Wizard mode is progress of being updated as well.
Fixed - 8/3 - show last score routine would interfere with starting a new game. start button handled at end of routine to allow for last score display to function properly
Update - 8/3 - If allow match was off, game would try to play a game over clip that didn't exist
Update - 8/2 - VUK fires 3 times at normal power, if eject fails power reduced to 3 to attempts a light jog/unjam. If eject fails again, VUK kicks will pause for 8 seconds so not to overpower the fuse.
Update - 8/2 - Shaker only fired one time on VUK eject and won't trigger again for 10 seconds. This is to reduce stress on the fuse.
Fixed - 7/26 - AV now at V008, random read error
Fixed - 7/26 - shooting vuk after ball launch and not hitting any switches would flake out the mode select routine
Fixed - 7/26 - mode select now works when using infected mode
Fixed - 7/12 - ball save timing changed to prevent premature end of ball
Fixed - 7/1 - goober didn't reset mode properly on drain

Dave - are there plans on adding sounds/music for an attract mode? Also, if the flipper buttons are pressed (on most pins) there is a random sound or snarky comment from the game. I saw a menu item there but so far haven't heard anything.
Quoted from FawzmaGames:There is, there is a jukebox mode for freeplay. Holding left flipper in attract for 5 seconds will start music.. keep holding to pick a new song. Hold right flipper to cancel out. This could use some more work to make it a bit more user friendly.
It would be nice if the jukebox played the next song "automatically" instead of repeating the same one. Sometimes I work on other machines and it would be great to have something to listen to. You could even use the "Dead City Radio" animation. With RZ playing in the background I could probably fix everything in half the time
The other sounds for the flipper buttons would be cool also. Its a feature that I'm just used to seeing on 99% of pins but not a priority.
AC/DC has a cool jukebox/radio feature where it plays all the songs in the game plus live versions as well. There's a radio on the DMD and when the channel is changed you hear static like a radio. RZ already has the sounds and DMD animations so...

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Anyone think the price on these will go back up or are they likely to settle at 5k?
They'll settle a little higher than $5K down the road I think. There are a few priced below average (like mine) but Im trying to raise funds right now. Time will tell.

Quoted from xbmanx:Is there a way to "flash" these machines and start fresh with v22? One of the machines I help someone with is kind of funky because i think they didn't follow the update instructions on v20 and the machines been a bit glitchy since. Is there a way to "start fresh" with the next update?
Factory reset?
Quoted from Medisinyl:Correct. I attempted with the Stern method to no avail. PM a brief pointer in the right direction? (would be much appreciated if so). One of these days I hope to learn how to code. As much as I like much of the material Rob produces (songs, films, etc.), the track "What?" drives me nuts each time I hear it And there are many that would fit the theme better IMO.
Maybe we can ask Oliver aka oga83 who did the Pinbrowser app to see if he would look into it. I've tried replacing sounds with new callouts a few times to no avail. I have both H1KCorpses and Rejects ripped and created tons of potential call outs in prep but...
From Spookys FB page - for those who don’t have it.
Rob Zombie complete and KICK ASS code is now available. There is a MOUNTAIN of work that went into this... and we're very proud that we saw it to completion and made it to a level we hope you enjoy (translation: the code runs DEEP!). Thanks to absolutely everyone who supported Spooky and this game, and we genuinely hope you enjoy the daylights out of it. ROCK ON! Zombie fans for life... all of us at Spooky Pinball LLC.

Spooky needs more programmers but who is going to move to Benton when they can drive up the road to Epic and start at 75k right out of college?
Why cant Spookie just ship a game to a programmer on the payroll if he's not local? Just ship it back when the code is complete.

"Three From Hell" is being released September 16-18 with a special three-day screening event. I don't know why they are only releasing it for 3 days other than let the it run like an ordinary movie. I'm sure it will go to "on demand" shortly after which is how we'll watch it. Whatever... RZ does what he does even if it doesn't make sense. I just hope its a decent bookend to the trilogy.
