    Having a sleepover birthday party for my son and the kids lasted about 20 minutes on XBOX tonight but the pinballs went on for hours. Love it! One kid couldn't stop playing TS.

    You are now officially the B-Day party house from here on out =-)

    Very good to see that they like sophisticated games not just mind numbing ones.

    Alternate translite on WPT?

    Yes. The 6 destinations on the playfield are in the six photos, some cards and chips, plus the WPT logo make it look a lot better to me than the original. Fun game (played it at PHOF but never really heard it or played it clean and fast until I got one at home). Friend did the design then printed on Duratrans at PDQ Printing for $40. Worthwhile mod to me.

    I'd say! Especially at that price! Bravo.

    Oh god! HELL YEA!!

    A damn good game plagued by its original bad looking translite.

    I still do not care for this game but I agree that BG looks amazing compared to the original.

    I remember having a sleepover in 1980 and having all the kids go nuts over our Team One machine.

    Great job, maybe a few are hooked!

    looks like at least one pinball per kid, did they jump to pinball because each had their own to play (vs xbox where only 2 could play)?

    Never the less, anytime kids get interested in pinball is a good day.

    That's awesome, I can get mine to play pinball once a year too. I have to beg them to shut off Xbox and play pinball with me

    #14 11 years ago

    Yeah....BG looks great. Nice work.

    Seven kids, five pins. Two were not in the pin room at the time of the photos but they came back. Most of the time they played multi-player games on the pins so no one was left out. They had it rigged for four to play xbox at a time. But you're right, maybe the three kids not playing made the pinballs more attractive.
