Sounds kind of dull, I prefer fantasy pins that take me away from bland daily reality.

That's not true, they managed to cram some in there.

The audio on that game actually appears to be voice actors, it's not lifted from the movie. That's why the blue guy with the mohawk sounds more like Bobcat Goldwaite than the actual actor.

You've done a few too many Kaneda interviews if you think anybody cares.

It's bad, and yes it's a terrible, repetitive approach. The game isn't bad but the overall package is below average.

Honestly not sure about "jackpot" calls but it does have Extra Ball calls and a few other directly pinball related things at least "You've started double scoring" etc.

That wouldn't get old at all!

(Tales from the crypt features endless screams and the sound package is awful!)

Since that would double the chance of people "being right" on their predictions, this could be the most important development in the history of pinball!

Wow!

OK Pinside you get a second chance "to be right" which will enshrine you in pinside immortality forever!

Let's hear those predictions!

That's pretty much every pinside thread.

Maybe they just wanted to save $9 or whatever on each game?

Stern isn’t the only pinball company that has to make actual business decisions ya know.

I would have to agree with this.

This type of “outside collector” collects trinkets - dolls, models, dioramas etc. cheap, small things they can keep in the packaging and on the bookshelf.

A huge $7,000 pinball machine is something completely different. I doubt there’s gonna be much crossover there.

This looks like a very unique, "innovative" game, the kind that people here always say they want. Something really different.

To me, it looks like a warmed over Pinball Circus multilevel novelty clone, it doesn't look like it's going to offer much in the way of flow, it's likely to be a very stop and go affair. Doesn't look like something I'd be too into, spending all my time cycling balls between the 15 upper playfields. I think that would get pretty old pretty quick at home.

Your mileage may vary...the people who want "innovation" have got it, and now's your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

For those who prefer more traditional, non-innovative playfields, there's still a dozen othe games in production from the other manufacturers to choose from that will offer a more familiar pinball experience.

Mean-spirited? Are you kidding?

It’s a first impression critique- you know, like the HUNDREDS that you see when stern or JJP reveals a game.

I’m not sure why spooky reveals are supposed to be criticism proof. Is it because these threads are crawling with Spooky reps?

It’s a super oddball layout and I’m old and fear change. Shouldn’t be surprising I have reservations about it.

I would never try to discourage you or anybody else from buying a game they think looks cool. Buy 4 of them, please!

John’s a regular on the Chiller/con circuit, with a little effort and a few bucks you could probably get a rule card or apron signed.

What is the point of the Fang Club $45 vig when you can just order from a distributor, or the web site (if it doesn't crash) for that matter?

Have a hard time believing a distributor is gonna turn down your $9,000 because you don't have a fan club membership. Why would they care?

^

The suicidal "I'm out this is too stressful!" crowd needs to relax. By around lunchtime I bet everybody who wants an order in hand will have one.

So if you can log in 20 minutes from now and simply buy one you won't?

It's an emotional rollercoaster around here!

Seems like it's starting to shake out and orders are going through.

That's cool...but I mean, you can just go on to the spooky site and buy one, right now.

You wanted one an hour ago but don't want one now? Or is it just that you are afraid you'll have to wait 2 years to get one now since you didn't get an "early order?"

That people like themes from the 60s and 70s?

I think they know this already.

Relax dude.

If you really want one they are there for the taking, just like Rick and Mortys were for several days after the drop. Joe at Pinballstar has been posting updates in every single Spooky thread for hours, and apparently he's still got them.

Yancy's transmission just went tits up, so he's looking to sell his "spot."

So give someone a call and get your game. No reason to rage post when you could be rage buying.

The only people who seem riled up about this already bought a game.

Like you say, they are out there for anybody to buy. Looks like they hit the perfect number for sales...an effective “sellout” that is “flipper proof” because you can still get one the next morning.

I think people are just having flashbacks to that topper they had to overpay for, or those Stones tickets they couldn’t get in 1981.

Pinball machines based upon video games are a terrible idea. It's been tried in the past and they've always sucked donkey ass.

You people should know better!

Rollercoaster Tycoon and Big Buck Hunter? Those licenses and tacky art packages have aged well!

Surely no collection is complete without a game with a "based on the best-selling PC game!" starburst on the translite!

It's almost as if video games themes just don't seem to lend themselves too well to pinball?

If they priced their product in the $3K price range, there'd be still fewer complaints!!
