I was never going to buy a NIB but when a theme comes up you like and that theme happens to be your birthday, your wife says you have to have it!
Who am I to argue, so I put my name down on a CE. We are excited to get this

It’s a long wait but hopefully will be worth it.

Hopefully me as it’s my birthday

So that’s at least 2 in Wales then

Hope they do something with the lighting and shaker like on TWD prem/le, that thing gets creepy. They will need to dim those leds right down as it’s looking very bright to me to get a creepy atmosphere.

I had BSD with a pinsound mix, the amount of times I was down in my pin room playing that late at night on my own looking over my shoulder and feeling pretty nervous I can’t tell you but this is what I want from this game. They can make this way more creepy I’m sure.

Good things come to those who wait…………………….

The layout doesn’t look that much different to say whitewater or less interesting than Twilight Zone for example, it will be good to see how the upper playfields flow/play out and how those inlane lifters work out during multiball. All I know now is that it sounds/looks good which is a big plus for me.
The code could make or break it, seeing as it’s Spooky’s most manufactured pin I’m sure they will do good by it.

It’s got a creepy sound track and I’m hoping they dim down those LED’s to create that dark atmosphere.
We need some good callouts to go with it, I want to be looking over my shoulder playing this!

I watched your version on YouTube the other week and thought it was quite good even though I’m not into virtual pin stuff.

It has already been mentioned before his video on here and for all to hear on the stream including Spooky, pretty sure it will be addressed.
What I’m hoping they don’t do is put a lot more effort into Ultraman which is what it looks like so far, many more Halloween’s being made so keep everyone happy. I’m sure there is nothing to worry about and all will be good.

Same here, it will be good. They need it to be good and will want it to be good for sure. So it will be good
CE for me too.

Think it’s called the ‘500’ club.

SpookyLuke has spoken, as I thought nothing to worry about

Agree, just reminds me of Monty Python animation. Maybe it will be better once it’s finished, plus by the looks of what I have seen you need your eyes on the playfield anyway!

My Operation Thunder does this when you run out of fuel, it does add to the tension but its pretty annoying all the same. Especially for people less skilled.

Depends how much you pay, even then it’s worth it for the right glass. We have a group buy here in the UK for our glass. A guy in Hungary who runs the pinball museum there also owns a glass manufacturing company, he makes low reflection (both sides) ultra clear glass with lovely bevelled edges. Normal glass does not compare, you will reach out to touch the ball because you forget the glass is there after working on a machine. I bought 11 sheets for a £1k, best upgrade you can do for that price.

The line between the mouth and nose on the pumpkin for the speaker and armour has been annoying me since I first noticed it which was straight away, does it really need to be there? Nobody has mentioned it yet. Must be just me.

Out of the two, Halloween looks much better to me

Ahhh yes just found a picture, understand now.

Ha ha no I like that, now my complaint is the right eye isn’t Michaels head lol

Was thinking what about a joint mod
Came across a clip and thought what about a mode with them being followed in the car with the tune Don’t fear the reaper which is playing on the car radio

What about the side armour, can’t flip that about but guess it’s not in your face to annoy you enough.
The only thing about those speaker covers that was concerning me was that they cover so much of the speaker up but from some of the clips it doesn’t sound bad or muffled.

I can think of a few WPC games where the pop bumpers were a waste of space, Whitewater for one.

Artwork is fantastic, shame it will be in a line up mostly hidden.

Liking the single led boards and if they supply spare led boards that would be a nice touch.
Uplifters look nice and chunky, in fact the whole thing looks pretty damn good!

Some gameplay, sounds like the double annoying high pitched sound has gone from pumpkin to right lifter.

Are those wires twisted to help with interference?

I meant electrical interference, I’m sure I heard the driver board used could suffer from interference or something.

“ By twisting wires that carry an equal and opposite amount of current through them, the interference/noise produced by one wire is effectively canceled by the interference/noise produced by the other. A twisted pair also improves rejection of external electromagnetic interference from other equipment.

Glad I used full 8ft sheets of plasterboard/drywall when I built my room!

As a first time buyer that’s good to hear, my fang club package arrived today and it had me worried

Yeah, it’s autumn and works for me.

So what game is better now

Wish I could collect mine but it’s a bit far

The speed that’s playing I don’t think you will have a chance to see clips
Appreciate you filming gameplay, only 8 months ish until I get mine!

I have set of those protectors, very handy to have even to protect the black paintwork.

Remastered version out next month

Happy Halloween hopefully!

Never listened or watched him before, you can see he wants to come across as laid back don’t give a fuck kind of guy. Some of the stuff he was coming out with was hilarious even my wife who could hear dissed him, hope he gets his million dollar property in New York

If you are talking about the topper, the ends now light up as they fixed it.

It’s been said they are trying to get much more content, the more the merrier!

Then they will not be trusted on pre orders going forward and the people who bought in will be left wanting.

I think it will be ok, people are getting nervous or think they are missing out on something else and jumping ship.
It’s still the same game and getting better.

And B66 has the same insert quirk apparently.

I use a 15” Paradigm servo 15 sub on some of my pins, not sure how to stop the whole room and contents rattling except turn it down and that’s not happening
Having to fix rattling glass from too much bass is a good problem to have

We’ve all been there
Mines normally so brutal it’s best not seen

Keep ball in lifter until another ball is on its way down then rinse and repeat. They said they might add 2 more balls to the game to do this.
Works great in STTNG.

They could add 2 extra balls that always stay in the lifter, so it ejects the ball in the lifter only when one comes down the subway to replace it.
Spooky said they were thinking about adding two more balls for staging, probably trying it out already.

Also on the latest Batman I’ve been told

I don't know but someone on here who owns one only realised and never saw it until it was mentioned by me earlier, can’t remember who though.
It was Neil McRae who said there was a similar thing on Batman, I presumed it was BM66.

Edit: just looked at a pic and ringed the inserts, might be these.

^^^ and then after that great moment in pinball while putting your name up play “Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper” to chill a bit

We love sheep in Wales, baaaaaahhhhhhh.

I will second that as you have mentioned his name, I don’t like mentioning dirty words.

Funny guy

It’s not, but it was funny all the same

That’s very ADULT of you to put it in your words lol

Just messing, it’s all good. Be even better when I get my game.

I had BSD with pinsound and that was way more creepy than the TWD I have.

I love to hear that call out

I’ve got a video on YouTube doing it, not seen that for a while

Put the jukebox on earlier, 4706

Should have this music playing doing his review

Yeah, “that guy”. That name should never be written. I like that!

He will do what he has to do to get noticed no matter who he pisses off.

Made my first pumpkin and my birthday is Halloween! Took me over half a century to do one lol

You see what do I know, of course it is
Thanks

Let my kids watch horror and did them no harm, agree about not letting them see sexual stuff.

^^^^ Come on spooky this tune is so much better than Godzilla

Congratulations the first one in the UK and also getting on the VIP list
Long wait for mine about 750 ish.
Maybe a code update will get the topper working properly, also they did something to get the H and N lit up on the topper and there is a ramp upgrade with no screws sticking out you need to get I’m guessing.

Have fun!

One has already arrived in England.

We are in Europe, just not a member of the EU
