If it is BTILC, I am in!

Facts!

Wish you weren’t so awkward bud.

I like the idea of playing as Jason but also playing as the counselors. Or as someone posted awhile back, having multiplayer games where one person is Jason and the others are counselors. It would be nice to have a game that is more atmospheric and moody with music and very little voice work. I can do without the trend of having voices tell you what to shoot for. It would be a nice contrast from Rick and Morty's wall to wall voices ...which isn't to say is bad...it is awesome and fits the theme really well!

Jesus I hope it is not He-Man.

ehhh...bit of a reach there...also I really hope not. He-man is an awful idea.

Nope, just not a fan of the action figure themes. I mean I played with He-Man figures, absolutely loved the show as a kid, but really don't want that theme. That goes for GI Joe, Thundercats and any other toy based cartoon. I'd be down for almost anything else though.

You are a little late there.

There are some parts that are 3d printed in R&M but not many. Off the top of my head there is the base to the ship, the basketball hoop on the house, a few sculpted type posts (plumbus one I think) and I think that is all I can think of. I don't think the crystal next to the portal exit is 3D printed...pretty sure that is cast.

Too Many Cooks pinball confirmed!

I was going to peel off the protective layer... but then I got high.

Geez...you guys are seriously impatient. Spooky said there would be announcement in June. We still have over a week left.

It seemed like from the last video is that Bloodsucker is a Standard with all the typical ala carte options (shaker, knocker, speaker lights, probably powder coat). So all cosmetic...hopefully!

South Park Human Centipad Pinball confirmed. I am going to splurge on the Cuttlefish and Asparagus Collector's Edition.

It was not technically sold out in 4 hours. There was a two week period where you could have secured one if you just asked all the Spooky distros. And after that period some spots opened up because you inevitably have people back out. But there were definitely a few available a couple weeks after the announcement.

DanQverymuch for the downvote! Actually that doesn't mean it is sold out if you can still buy one from an authorized distributor. I don't understand the confusion here. If you mean all Spooky games were allocated then yes, they were. But you could still buy one from a distro for at least 2 weeks after release. I know because I reached out to several pinsiders who were looking for the game (actually posting in the R&M thread) and gave them contact info for several distros that I knew still had stock. They were very happy to find one! This wasn't like 2 or 3 games either I am not talking about a private buyer who just sits on NIB pins aka scumbags.

I wasn't aware that me clarifying actual facts meant that I was taking something away from Spooky. That is a first. Maybe you should be the one that should avoid having a stroke. Maybe my pun went over your head there?

Special Koolaid's followers always forgetting all the times he is wrong...which is WAAAAAY more than he is right. Should change his podcast name to Pinball Flip Flop.

It’s definitely an adult theme. So no Scooby Doo.

Red and Ted's Roadshow has two plungers.

I respectively disagree.

I am sure they are going to bring some killer atmosphere to this game. I am not a big fan of the Halloween series. I'd rather have F13 since I feel like it translates better to games in general. But I am eagerly awaiting the reveal. This is a truly adult theme which I commend Spooky for. Enough of the child themes. We all know adults play pinball.

I mean, I guess you can distill most horror movies down to something similar especially when they are in the same slasher sub-genre. But they aren't they aren't the same at all.

Lemme guess...talking about himself in third person and how he was right all along?

That is a retheme game from Colsond3 not any leak.

I agree!

Clunky as in you couldn't hit your shots...because frankly, the game is hard (intentionally). The whole clunky/flow argument is pretty ridiculous. The same goes for people that say "This game has flow!" Translation: The shots are easy to make.

You basically summed up this entire thread

Not that I agree with this, but I think because it could hurt them more than help at this point. Not saying the games are bad shooters. I think they will be great. But to do a proper gameplay video takes time. If they rushed something out, than people start to complain about certain things and maybe they lose out the FOMO they created. I agree with you though that a gameplay video should really be standard before taking orders. However, if the games are good, people won't care. Spooky seems to be generating a bunch of trust in the pinball community...which is a good thing. But I understand why some people are pausing before committing to a 9k purchase. Unfortunately I feel like they both will be sold out pretty quickly and then if you end up liking the game, you have to find one on the secondary market (now more expensive).

On a completely unrelated note, SpookyCharlie you guys need to revisit the design of your website. Use Stern as an example of great presentation. Your website is starting to resemble a MySpace page (no offense). You should have clear pages for each of your games with tabs or links to code updates, manuals, videos, photos etc. On a positive note, congrats on the launch! I am super impressed with the layout choice and the artwork is really the best I have seen in a long time!

Some people buy games to play and don't care how rare they are. But if you need to know 1 of 1250 or 1 of 500

Here we go again. Another R&M situation where people start complaining on what number they are in line.

Scary Terry?

Where's my balls?

The game is based off the first movie. Not only does pulling quotes from other movies not fit the theme of the first movie but you also would need additional licensing to pull that off. (not mansplaining)

Um…no

Their niche is horror/sci fi. Take a look at all of their games and you will see that. Dominos and Jetsons were contract games, not Spooky brand games.

Pokemon is THE video game to make for pinball. The theme is perfect.

Gladiators is a great layout but has a serious scoring exploit.

No one is piling up on the guy. Why does everyone pull the "cancel culture" card when they get called out for being a creep?

Triggered, cancel culture, white knights...we got the trifecta of redirection here. No one is getting canceled. Someone got called out for saying some inappropriate things. That is what happens in a forum...people discuss. OP apologized...I literally upvoted his post and moved on. You should too.

I had some issues with the outer orbit switch of my R&M. I just couldn't get it adjusted to where it was consistent. I ended up installing a mag switch. Works great but definitely makes the game play faster!

It’s pretty easy. Just snipping the wires, removing the old switch and then installing the mag switch and soldering the leads. The switches themselves are pricey. I ended up buying four to replace all the orbit switches though.

Commercial pinball will never be open source. Well I guess PROC counts but I don't think anyone can modify code in released games

Why would you have your boards installed on the inside bottom of the cabinet? All of the wiring leading to the playfield would have to have extra slack to accommodate lifting the playfield. Also imagine something dropping inside of the cabinet and falling onto the board ie loose parts or a ball dropping when you forget to clear the trough before lifting the playfield. That is a recipe for disaster!

No problem. I am here to point out any other dumb ideas.

Grabbed a little video while my friend was playing.

Yea almost everyone that played was doing a double take as their ball drained or quickly saved it. I had a good ball. Unfortunately no video. It was fun to play. Lots of different length shots. I think that was my favorite part so far. Those led strips were not blinding or distracting for me personally. I can see how some might think it would look cheap in a rope light sort of way. The lighting in the building is not optimal for playing. The artwork is amazing. The trim is definitely purple. Fit and finish were nice. LCD was just ok. But I didn’t have time to look at it much.

To be fair, every person stepping up to the game is playing it for the first time. If you looked at the playfield without any context you would assume that when shooting the scoop on the right, it would eject the ball back to the flippers from the same hole.

It was an amazing troll job.

That has been my only criticism so far. The screen is not as readable as Halloween. Not a fan of how they laid out the information for players. It really isn't a deal breaker for me since it's not something I am looking at most of the time. Hopefully they can redesign the layout a bit but I am not holding my breath.

I am speaking from first hand experience playing the game. Again, not a deal breaker but the layout and design of the assets could use a bit more design direction.

I agree. Kill Bill's story would be much a better translation to a pinball ruleset.

Halloween isn't 12K
