i was playing south park the other night and found myself thinking how nice it would be to get a code update. not for new rules (though it could use that), but more for updated DMD animations, call outs, sounds, themes, etc. it just seems like the show got SO much better later on and it sucks the pin was rushed out during the first few seasons when it was still just crazy, potty mouthed kids. think of it, kill scott tenorman's parents mode, god a-go-go hurry up, smug alert skills shot, guitar queer-mo video mode.... DE simpsons was the same way, but it got followed up with the amazing TSPP. just mussing on how better audio and visuals could greatly improve the game.

I'd love to see South Park get an update that took it to TSPP levels. I nominate you!

I've thought about that kind of thing myself, but I don't have a machine to play with.

Dude, this is pretty F'd up right here! LOL

I have to say, that as great as it would be to have someone come out with a cool update for SP, I appreciate it's simplicity, esp for the little ones. My 7y/o daughter LOVES playing it. It's great to watch her accomplish the multi ball shot in the toilet all on her own and then blast the balls all over the place. She cracks up laughing and has a ton of fun with it. Just gives me the best feelings. It reminds me of playing with my dad as a kid.

All in all, I happy with the way it is.

I'm surprised Stern didn't revisit it, as they did with Simpsons. SP was a great seller for Sega/Stern and a big earner on route. I think a "sequel" might have sold well.

They could have just rethemed Austin Powers. It already had the toilet on it.

I would love a new code!! Even something basic that fixed the modes so you can stack them and that it saves your progress on the stan and kyle shots. I don't mind that it was made before the later seasons.

A new SP pin would be great. The show is still very popular. With the machines that Stern is now focused on getting out, they probably can't be bothered with SP. Many have said that it's a great earner, but most people buy them for home use and making money isn't the main objective. Just making it fast and super fun.

Too bad too, cause a new SP could be all that and more. Fast, fun and hilarious!

I just got a South Park in a package deal. The theme has so much potential that I was thinking of PROCing it as well. As it is, it is almost like the programmers were given a stupid time table to finish the game and they were just happy to put together working code. As soon as I get my Dredd started up, I will probably give it a shot. If anyone is in on collaborating, I would be down with that ,too. The PROC code can be run and tested on Pinmame so you don't have to have a machine to test your code.

someone mentioned liking the simplicity. i also agree with that. pretty basic collect shots based around the characters. some easy ones, some more difficult.

That was me. I appreciate the simplicity for my daughter's sake. She can make all the shots, esp get the multiball. And with 5 ball multi, it's a ton of fun. She simply has a ball playing it. It makes me feel so good inside. Brings back feeling of me being a wide eyed kid again playing with my dad.

If you do decide to work on the code can you keep us in the loop? i would love a new code.

I'm up for collaborating. Let me know when you start working on it. I don't have South Park (but am very familiar with it), or a PROC (but I am a programmer by day).

Unfortunately, the amount I'm willing to pay for South Park makes the shipping from Texas a deal breaker.

Just this morning I ranked the 37 pins I know best in "willingness to play" order. South Park was 28th. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it though.

I have to get all my machines up and running first. I still want to do it. The more I play the game though the more I realize they did some things really well. The sound is great and I thought they did with thee lights was good. The playfield is too simple for the difficlty and the modes could have been better.

I would also love a code update. New features would be great. Additionally, new code could also resolve the STERN/Sega White Star CPU, 520-5136-00 BSMT2000 issue for those of us who might need a new CPU board and cannot use the newer STERN/Sega White Star CPU, 520-5300-00, board due to issues with the Atmel chipset on the newer CPU board.

I love South Park as a theme but the game rules on this pin are terrible. A code hack/update like what Chad H has done for some DE games would be great but I think something with more features like the cactus canyon continued is what's really needed.
