Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle
Spooky Pinball, 2017Quoted from Whysnow:I spend my saved money form no smart phone on more pinball machines.
I spend $27 per month on a basic unlimited talk/txt plan.
That probably saves at least $30 per month. Add on the cost of the phone (which I am sure I would lose or break 1x per year) and we are talking another pinball machine for the sacrifice of no smart phone. Bonus : I am not connected to people in imagination world anymore than I am already
Bummer.
Quoted from Whysnow:I spend $27 per month on a basic unlimited talk/txt plan.
I have no interest in telling people how to spend their money, but I've been a happy Cricket Wireless (AT&T prepaid) customer for years... $35/month (no extra taxes/fees) for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of data. (Actually unlimited data, but it slows to a snail's pace after 5 GB.) And passable smart phones are available for ~$100. Like any tool, a smart phone is what you make of it, it can be awesomely useful or a total waste... although just the easy access to Pinburgh groups is probably worth the price of admission. 
Back on topic: Spooky is great about communicating. I'm quite sure they're eager to crank out games as soon as they feel they're ready.
Quoted from SpookyKT:This is the blue powder coat that will be sent out. I know people had been asking for better pic of it.

Beautiful KT. Starting to regret going with standard. Can we change our mind on our orders for options?
Quoted from KISS73:Is that a buttered cab in the pic?
I'm pretty sure that is the standard cabinet. I actually think the butter cabinet would be harder to get good picture of. It looks great in person, but it's glossy and I think the camera would really pick up a lot of the reflected light. It's totally unnecessary, but it looks great. If you're going to splurge on it for any game this might be the one to do it on.

Thanks KT! I have been one of those asking for pics, especially of the Blue PC. Happy to have selected it.
Quoted from Jodester:Beautiful KT. Starting to regret going with standard. Can we change our mind on our orders for options?
All depends on what your game number is. If I have already ordered the powber coat then no. But if your not in the first 2 batches yes you can.

hey, i know that game 
love the powder!
Quoted from Whysnow:hey, i know that game
love the powder!
I knew who's game it was, especially with the game next to it
Quoted from SpookyKT:All depends on what your game number is... ...if your not in the first 2 batches...
KT, are these batches of 25? Would those include #1-50 or are these different numbers?
No change for us, just interested in where we're at. Thanks!
Quoted from dnaman:KT, are these batches of 25? Would those include #1-50 or are these different numbers?
No change for us, just interested in where we're at. Thanks!
If I have already emailed you asking what you want then I mean you 
. Remember "butter" get a seperate run.
Quoted from jellikit:While every ACNC might not come buttered, will they all come with a bucket of chicken?
Brad[quoted image]
RZ does. Maybe we can order just the mini bucket to drop into ACNC.
5 (resized).jpgI was at Ayci Gogi yesterday doing a play ahead for the league. I had to play every game once but I was able to play two games on Alice Cooper.
Sorry it was only two more games. Not enough time.
The game is smooth. I would like to spend about 20 games on it but I had to leave.
I got into cold ethyl mode and died. Fast.
I think my high score (third or something) remained.
But, I got lucky on that game I got into a mode and blew it up. That happens.
It was nice to see not too many others were able to blow it up. Yet.
The game though, very fun. I can't wait to see more of them, and play them.
I might own one someday, but the room. I have none.
No big deal I am happy with my one.
Great job spooky this game is kick ass!

Was the Mag-Neat-O save working properly? The last video from Ayci Gogi the magnet wasn't working properly.
Quoted from GuiitarMan:Was the Mag-Neat-O save working properly? The last video from Ayci Gogi the magnet wasn't working properly.
Nope. I played it a few nights ago. My average score is 5 million with top score around $43 million because I blew up a mode. You can play this game for 10 minutes and get less than 3 mil and blow up a mode and get 20 million in a minute or so.
A weekly update from Spooky on where things are at would be nice! Maybe it would save us from people posting a bunch of pictures of Alice. As much as I love Alice, he’s one ugly MF!

Or maybe more pics of games on the line???

Well maybe you can shut up now, I got the email to pay mine in full that its ready to go
Quoted from Tilt:Well maybe you can shut up now, I got the email to pay mine in full that its ready to go
To be fair, paying in full does not mean that the pin is ready to ship.
Quoted from dnaman:To be fair, paying in full does not mean that the pin is ready to ship.
maybe not since some pay in full early. But in this case it does, My game is ready and can be picked up anytime
That's awesome! We got the call a while back, paid balance but no word on where it is in production. I was told that buttered cab is a separate run but that was it.
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:Finally, the troll has been permanently ejected!
Ha! I had already permanently ejected him, which is nice because now I don’t have to listen to his drivel in all the other threads he posts his hatred of Spooky in.
Quoted from BudManPinFan:Ha! I had already permanently ejected him, which is nice because now I don’t have to listen to his drivel in all the other threads he posts his hatred of Spooky in.
And that is a fact! 
Aside from maybe someone being taken advantage of (a la Popadiuk and similar fiascos), there is nothing about pinball that I would have hatred for.
Quoted from Damonator:Happy Friday!
KT sent me a pic of an ACNC in progress (and gave me permission to share). It's looking great!
I see a couple of minor wording changes from the bare playfield posted earlier in the thread. Let's see who can find them all...

Awesome!!
Quoted from Tilt:Well maybe you can shut up now, I got the email to pay mine in full that its ready to go
It is! Several more went this week, and we're getting back on track to keep them moving more consistently. Should have at least 1 a day leaving the next few weeks as well.
Not like we've been sitting idle while sorting out some stability stuff in code, ramps, mechs, etc... we've been moving TnA's along so we can focus on ACNC more as well.
So, TnA will wrap up sooner, Alice will be by itself on the line faster, and cool stuff and things happen.
Did anyone else notice that Spooky sold more games in the last year than the first 4.5 years combined?! Yeah... learning to deal with it is not easy, but sure beats sitting around wondering how to pay the rent. We've also SHIPPED more games this year than last year.
Just slow and steady growth. We're still a small pinball shop in WI, and we always intend to be.... just need to be a better quality & faster one! Getting there.
Still hard to get a good photo of the butter, but 1 is on the line now... no justice in the pic! All these games are new on the line this week.

Cool damonator what number are you.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I'm counting like 15+ shots?
I count 11... not counting targets. That's enough! Lol.
Quoted from BudManPinFan:Awesome, thanks for the update Charlie!
We care... a lot. And I think we're the most transparent company out there. ACNC is the most ambitious game we've ever made, and even with better engineering and a little more time, IT'S HARD. Especially at game launch.
So was TnA... it all gathers speed as you go and learn. New workers are blending in well and it's all a process.
Quoted from Gryszzz:TARGETS MATTER CHARLIE
Most fun Extra Ball target ever!!! Then again, I'm biased.
