Why don’t you just buy a TNA then? I can’t believe that some of you would rather a game be re-released than see something new and exciting…even if it’s not your preferred theme.

Hell yeah now you’re talking. We are on the same page SCOOBY DOO BRING IT ON

We definitely don’t need a re released TNAor anything else let’s get some new pins out.

I still think TNA was their best game.

Since they are going to re run them I'd rather buy one NIB with whatever enhancements they will have made based on reliability feedback from v1. I don't think a re-releae precludes a new game getting produced nor does a new game getting produced preclude a re-release.

I doubt we’re looking at an either/or situation with regard to a TNA re-release or Spooky’s next new game.

Exactly. The Halloween/Ultraman runs could well be finished before the next game in development is ready for production, clearing the way for a second run of TNA to be produced without requiring the attention of the design team. Given the outcry over Halloween/Ultraman’s code, I imagine the designers might welcome some breathing room to really take their time on polishing the next game as near to perfection as possible.

AMH will always be #1 in my heart.

TNA probably is their best overall game. Rick and Morty would be if it shot better.

I wouldn't mind another all original single level playfield if it had bumping music, great light shows, and simple to understand but difficult to master gameplay. (Which sounds like it may happen at another manufacturer based on some rumors)

I must be the only person in the world that loves Evil Dead better than 2 and much better than AoD. There is just something about that super low-budget, "indy movie that could" that makes it great.

But I still want a Nightmare on Elm St above all else. And then Friday the 13th.

I agree with everything you said, especially about A Nightmare on Elm St.

I may be the only one but I disagree with this wholeheartedly. I don’t have a problem with the way Spooky has rolled out their last two games. Both with Rick and Morty as well as Halloween they rolled the early games out and have continued to work hard on the code as the games continue to roll out and they listen to the owners suggestions and make tweaks and rule changes based on feedback. If people would rather wait and see get a higher number and wait a bit. I know a couple of early owners who have made suggestions and wishlists and their stuff has made it into the game.

I’m completely fine with how they have released their bones for the rule set but keep tweaking and updating and adding. Two things I can think of when it comes to pinball manufacturers one is nothing I have ever seen has completed code and two nobody listens to their consumers like Spooky.

Eh, I understand what you are saying, but it's a practice I just completely disagree with. It's not just pinball though. It's a bad habit that the internet made pretty prolific. I am one who doesn't like to be a beta tester. I got a halfway thru the run R&M and was happy with it, but I wouldn't have been happy with something earlier. These aren't $50 video games. They are now $10k toys and there is an expectation of quality and completeness. This by no means is something that is a Spooky specific complaint, but because they listen it is something they may be willing to improve upon.

I'm coding as fast as I can!

I’ll take a F13 game please

When you hit your shots it shoots fine.

Theme appropriate..!

That's like saying a broken car works as long as you're going down hill.

It's a clunky layout that needs a lot of minor adjustments to make it shoot "fine". I don't think that's a controversial opinion. It's cool if some people like it, but it isn't some great shooting game and it does hurt the overall enjoyment level.

They layout was never the issue. The issues were build specification issues. Thus all the tinkering. Shots are tighter than Sterns for sure, but that's a whole other discussion. The game itself plays fine once the build issues are worked out.

If a layout has to be so precisely built and tweaked, it's not a very good design

It's like the subway on Halloween/Ultraman needing to be perfectly pitched and level to mostly work. It's a poor design.

Agree to disagree on this. I'm not saying that having to tinker is a good thing, but this goes into my "it's another discussion" comment regarding Stern and their uber wide shots.

It's not about the shots on Rick and Morty being too tight or whatever. Alice Cooper shoots fine with all of its tight shots. Rick and Morty is just clunky...

I played on a RaM that shot amazing and I loved it and would have bought it on the spot. Then another RaM that shot like hot garbage and was completely infuriating to play. Like two completely different games, wild.

Play better.

Post better

Someone said there are mods to open up shots on morty to be smoother?

Seems like whatever the new title is gonna be, they will knock it out of the park. I cant wait to see what these guys pump out next. Just glad its not another super hero(yawn) or old timer music pin(double yawn) Go get em spooky.

I want a new TNA!

SCOOBY DOO SCOOBY DOO DO IT SPOOKY

ED/ED2/AOD with a wormhole shot that transports the player into the different era movies with their own vibes, rules, and digital content. 1 cool interactive toy representing each movie.

R&M 2.0 lol

seriously not a bad idea though.

R&M 2.0. I’d be in on one in a heartbeat, Expand the code so 1.0 owners get a free upgrade as well. I know very unlikely, but the market prices definitely show the demand is there.

I’m in on a TNA 2.0 when they become available. Really cool game.

Haven't played TNA but have RNM, ACNC and HW - how would you say TNA compares to those with regards to game play? Thinking about adding TNA but would appreciate your insight here. What say you?

Well my comment was because what he suggested is basically R&M's main feature.

Rick and Morty will never be re-released Spooky has promised that only 750 will ever exist. Also…lol @ “expand the code”. RaM arguably has some of the most dense coding of any other pin in existence.

I've owned a TNA and miss it from time to time. It shines when you play with people over a few beers. Simple rules with fast and furious gameplay.

My favorite spooky is still my tricked out Rob zombie.

Do you love Bally 80s pins? But wish they played super fast with thumping music? That’s TNA. Just amazing game. I’d get rid of ACNC and RZ and R&M before getting rid of TNA.

Hold my beer.

I’m in if they do an Army of Darkness. 100% in, sight unseen. They could incorporate the new Tv series as well, it had great stuff also.

I DID I DID. SCOOBY DOO SCOOBY DOO. THE possibility’s are endless with what you could do.

I've been way out of the loop about Total Nuclear Annihilation 2nd production run. Is this something possible given they stopped original run at 550?

I'm still kicking myself not putting myself on the wait list in 2017 during CAX. Ugh....

How likely Spooky would do another TNA run?

Very likely. The designer has posted about updated features it will include that current owners would be able to upgrade separately. Also, Spooky will likely need some time after HWN to get their next game dialed in with deeper code before release… and they can’t just let a production line go dead.

Had a chance yesterday to meet and hang out for a few with some of the people from Spooky while at Pinfest.

Great people, great company. I bought a hoodie just to throw a little extra support their way. Love my HW CE and can’t wait to see what’s next for them!

So, is it the general consensus that either Army of Darnkess and/or Scooby Doo are likely next? Does anyone think Spooky will be undertaking another duel release?

As long as you keep coding, I can probably do that.

It's possible and likely we will do another run at some point. TNA was never promised as a limited run.

We added a lot of talent in the last year. That has allowed us to keep pumping code into Halloween and Ultraman while starting on future projects.

Great to hear! Looking forward to Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure!

Pee-Wee is terrifying

Hopefully they make it out to Houston this year in the fall. Not sure if they’ve ever been to that show.

Any updates… code or otherwise?
