Let's talk pinstadiums.
On my Rob Zombie, pinstadiums are a must. The playfield is sooo dark.
After getting Alice, it was apparent that playing in a dark room it was going to need something to appreciate the art etc. Maybe I'm just getting old and my eyes don't like playing in the dark.
This game it totally RGB lighting. Even the flasher is controlled RGB. Which is fine except for installing pinstadium lighting. Now I'm not trying to miss the light show they create. But the controlled GI just wasn't enough for me. Also I'm installing just a standard pinstadium with UV flasher.
So after talking to Scott and Rebelguitars. Here is where I hooked up my pinstadium set. Only real GI is coin door, coin reject lights. So GI is attached there. Now some are not going to like this option because they do not go off when the playfield goes dark. But unless you want to try to come off of one of the colors on the rgb and that color fires, im sure it would be a strobing mess. If someone knows something I don't please fill me in. Also I'm sure it is too much to get a light programed just for pinstadiums when only a select few will install them in their game.
Now the UV flasher. Again only flasher in the game is controlled Rgb. So thats kinda out. So Scott suggested the shaker motor, I was hesitant at first, but gave it a shot and it works and looks great. Does not fire excessively and on short bursts of the shaker they light a little and on full bust of the shaker they flash full power. Really a cool effect and not constant.
Again the only thing I feel I'm am missing is a complete blackout when and if the game wants one.
Plus with the pinstadiums you can dial back the GI and color to make the game have a creepy obiance.
I hope this helps anyone else who wants to bring more light into the game. The art and playfield is soooo cool it is a shame the game is kinda dark with the RGB lighting.
I for one hope that spooky will maybe slow down some of the light shows and refine them as time goes on. In attract mode it can get a little stroby with the exception of the color change. Plus I miss the crawling insect mode strobing. Some other modes stobe, make them solid and bring back the bugs. I love you Spooky, so I'm not complaining, just suggesting.
