I think that is called a facial?

of course you would say that

Well judging by all the comments by the "fans" I'm guessing I'll have no problem selling it.

Hell I can't even remember if I'm 349 or 394 but I'm up there. And not goin anywhere. In this for the long haul,...and happy to be here.
I am curious as to how you lower your flippers slightly, as I've never worked on flippers before. Is it fairly simple (I hope)?

I've never owned a Spooky, but it looks like it is one lock nut to loosen, then adjust and re-tighten.

10k by Christmas.

Haha I know right! WTF

Tna is perfect!! Love it as the masterpiece it is!

ROTFLMFAO!!

Except Bryan's... his opinion is god awful.

Gotta say, I agree 100% that the center of the playfield could use some more light. I'm also usually playing in a very dimly lit room, and the playfield is so damn good looking. I've been thinking that's a mod I will want to do since I put my deposit down. This whole conversation has derailed into those who like Pinstadiums and those who don't. It's a preference thing, so it will never be the same for people. Magicchiz's whole first post was just describing the hookup for anyone else who might be considering stadiums on their Alice. I for one appreciate that insight.

Pinstadium is kind of a religious issue around here for some reason, I think you gain cred by bashing them or something. Personally, I see most playfields fine in low light so they're not for me -- but others do like them, who am I to say that's wrong, much less get upset about it. Oh well, I guess if we all weren't a little bit crazy about pinball this forum would be a lot less interesting.

Man, this game was nowhere near my radar until I played it at TPF this year. Now I’m lighter in the wallet b/c I just sent my payment in on one that I got super lucky to happen upon and take over in line.

As for Pinstadiums, I intend to leave this one alone if I can. But I put them on my IM Premium and I think it looks absolutely kick ass. I’ll probably put them on Scared Stiff and TAF down the road. Downvote away if you want, but that’s some dumb shit to worry about.

I didn't want to do this but here is the no pinstadium picture, and with. Now people realize this is a personal preference deal. Just it is a option. Also I like being able to turn them up or off if I want to play dark and see the controlled light show better.

In fact I think Charlie got ripped off. If I remember right AMH had the first led light strip down the sides of the game. Charlie was a innovator before his time! You should be getting some sort of royalty from pinstadium.

$375 lucky?

This looks amazing! I love the way the extra light makes the playfield pop. I have a friend who does pinstadiums on a lot of his pins, and I have always loved playing on the brighter field. Don't need a headlamp that way

No, but really low # lucky.

Enjoy.

Magic - thanks for the cool posts and photos. Beats the crap out of AC wearing a Santa Claus hat. Give us pinsiders a vote on how you spend your money when we start paying your bills. We are blessed to live in so much luxury as to have the time to get upset over some other person's toy.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but thanks for posting those pics Magicchiz Personally I prefer it without the pinstadiums but I certainly don’t have issues with people personalizing their pins however they want.

Game needs some additional lighting both on the playfield and in the back box, it definitely does not look very good in the dark. I played this game at TPF and the game seems like a super fun game but is definitely dark. Is there an option to fix this without blowing the game up? My view as a customer is that visually the game is lacking and I would really like to hear some real options other than Pinstadium If there are any out there.

The blue trough lighting I put in MBrLE made the game perfect, that small option made a huge impact to the lower PF. There has to be an easy to install option without going off the cliff with over the top kind of stuff. If there isn’t one there isn’t one but if there is a way that maintains game integrity I would like to hear about it.

THAT was funny... and spot on! Thanks Magicchiz - for posting your lighting photos - glad you finally got your game!

Run a $5 doller LED light strip from Walmart.

It plugs into a usb wall mount charger. Place it / put it where you like the effect on your playfield. Simple to remove or reposition.

Cool thanks

$5 bucks in my WCS ramp and it does the job!

Well I’m happy we got to join the club today; after playing this game several times at my buddies house my wife and I fell in love spooky killed it
Proud future owner of #210
Big shout out to the entire spooky family for such a KILLER GAME

Congrats...I just missed out again on the $300 spot cuz I was too late checking my pinside mail.

i have a couple of spots in the 146-160 available if anyone is looking to get in.

Pardon my ignorance on the Pinstadium lighting but are these just LED strips attached at various areas in the game, additional spots, etc? How do they connect into this game? Does the AC adapter used for the lighting plug into Alice Cooper without any issue? Do the lights turn off with the game?

Strips attached to angled plastic that run the length of the playfield.

They attach to the side walls of the cabinet via magnets.

I am still waiting on an invite...

We just purchased spotlights to brighten the lower playfield, I will post pics next week

Put about 6 hours game play on mine this weekend. Its a riot. The modes are very creative and pending you trap up or have a goal its GREAT! Don’t put stadiums on it until you get it into your house. I am happy with mine the way it is. Its creepy and neat. Crypt multiball is nearly silent and the thing is just so cool.

I haven't updated the code yet to the latest one. Today if i find a drive. How do you clear the trough in the menu or is it only done by hand???

By hand is the easiest, but put your hand behind the graveyard to catch the balls. It's tight up front.

Seems like they like everything but the shot layout.

Said 80% of his shots bricked. I played it a bunch at TPF also and it was not 80% for me.

I agree with you that the shot layout feels more satisfying over time. It is not simple!

I'm hopeful that when they play the game more, they'll recognize that the rules and battles vary and notice some of the other things intended to make the rules deep and interesting. The fact that they spent only 15 seconds on the code gives the impression it is shallow and bare-bones.

I love the creativity and nuances in the ACNC code. 5 days away from picking mine up. Can't wait to explore the castle!

Their "review" makes it pretty clear that they did not even play the game enough to actually do a review. Pretty poor journalism and always sad when you see people lacking any real understanding using their playform to generate clicks but don't put forth any effort to actually understand the current state of the game.

My rule of thumb is if I see "HOT TAKE!" I don't bother clicking. It's a pretty good sign that it's a waste of my time. Gonna stick with it on this one.

No complaints here. No issues to report as of now. Its a special one.

I concur. I’ve seen some of their stuff and generally it’s well done - but you can’t give a game a proper review after one or two games.

These days an online review can sink/save a movie/pinball/car/whatever ... the average person these days is so influenced by other people’s opinions (why, I do not know ...) so it’s important to make the effort to actually do it properly.

IMO

did they really say "it's not fun to shoot" lol they don't know shit. take that review with a grain of salt

The rules are fantastic ! The monster modes are great . Each one has a unique feel to it and they utilize different shots on the playfield . The game also does a very good job of visually showing what you should be shooting for in each mode . Well done ,thank you.

They can’t please everybody, but I don’t care for some of Nick’s comments. in his last ones he came across arrogant about not giving a damn about his route games. Then they don’t mention anything negative about WOZ YBR? Don’t lose sleep off of this clip..

I think these days, there are so many podcasts and they are all looking for new content and new things to say ... and some “breaking news!” that will pump their show up ...

At the end of the day, there’s only so much pinball stuff you can crap on about ...

In saying that, the podcasters wield so much influence on this hobby - JJP has figured that out as you can see with his launch of Wonka. And the coverage is all FREE. And as we have seen this week, it is not very hard to whip some people in this hobby into a buying frenzy. Very clever from Jack.

I played this at TPF and though it was awesome.

Also, the peeps at the Spooky both were supper cool.

You think RD? Maybe 10 games? Pathetic on their part and clueless

A couple of arrogant dopes that played a few games on a pin and basically suck. Not the first time

And you own it and have played it a few hundred times so I'll go with those opinions over the above.
