Quoted from Morinack:

I am still on the fence actually. I love the artwork and know it would look great, but like so many others, it wouldn't really be shown off or admired due to placement. Its all about personal satisfaction with no plans on resale, as I am pretty sure it would be pried from my cold dead hands like my R&M or TNA.
For some reason, the Spooky pins really get me cranked up the way Williams did back in the day.

I've had a CFTBL with a clearcoated cab since 1999. Done by a private restorer.

Pros: Shiny!

Cons: Not a big deal when blocked in by other machines. If you DO put it on the end all the reflections actually make it
*harder* to see the art (depending on the room lighting).

You can't go wrong either way as unlike Stern, Spooky's decals show no woodgrain. So they sorta look CC'ed anyway.

Such a great vibe with this stream. You'd have to be Grinch himself not to be a Spooky fan

I'm more intrigued by these games holding a "spare ball" on the right that seems available somewhat on demand. I'm trying to think of another title that has this. There must be some others... anybody?

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Enlarging the original video is essential, I’m sure that they will arrive at the consensus soon enough. Both of these game just look so sick, I’m so amped for this company.

The original video source may be so low res that they found keeping it small may be the only way to make it look reasonably sharp. Just a thought.

If anybody here has ever tried to take a picture of their game with new leds in it you know how they bloom and dominate the pic and your game now looks clown puke purple from top to bottom... but only in the pic. I bet the led strips are like that and won't be as overpowering in real life.

Even if you expected Spooky to say this your host of this stream also said that at some point... so it probably isn't an issue in person.

Quoted from Insanity199:

I played quite a few games on all 4 of the games at SFGE. I wouldn’t call it a lot of rejects per se, however, it has to be a powerful and clean shot to make it all the way up and over to the left return. Not enough power or too much deflection off the side, it won’t make it all the way up. This was pretty consistent across all 4.

That's good. You don't want it to be a gimmie shot as then why bother qualifying the control room level at all? Sounds like maybe it's just about right. Plus you can always adjust flipper power to hopefully make it more to the owner's liking.

#1864 2 years ago
Quoted from SpookyLuke:

This is exactly what we were hoping for here! Slapping at the ball or a glancing shot won't make it up. However it's not uncommon to be able to hit 3 or 4 or 5 center ramp shots in a row if you hit it centered with full power. I think you guys will find it's a nice balance of difficulty. It returns to the left flipper when shot so the opportunity for full power follow up shots is there.

Yeah we saw Jack do it four times or so on your reveal video. I think you guys have it just right.

Quoted from manadams:

Did anyone tweak their LCD settings before replacing it? Changing to Gamma on, 85 Contrast and 25 Brightness on R&M made a huge difference.

Yeah even on contrast 100 and brightness 0 I saw grey unless I hunched down. But that's because I play it in the dark or super dim room. Probably wouldn't have bothered me otherwise.
