I understand supply issues globally etc. don’t make it easy, but I’d really love to see AP front run a Stern release once and ship.

Hope they sell out, may have to check it out.
Looking forward to seeing an updated video of the game.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Go play it today at one of the 11 arcades that have games or will get them early next week (west coast/midwest).

Thanks. Where can we find one on the west coast?

Quoted from pcprogrammer:

Just curious what distributors are offering these for sale?

Pinballstar, kingpin games, JJ at Game Exchange, and pinball pro all shot emails out as distributors.
Imagine more out there.

From TWIP: “Utilize the might of Thor’s Hammer by activating it via the third flipper button. The power of Thor comes crashing down like a lightning strike, by capturing the ball via a magnet over the top lanes, giving you more control and leading to higher scores.”

So…you saying the hammer MOVES!?

Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:

My first purchase with Pinballstar....been a CT guy for a few years. Will I get some type of confirmation in the next few days once I did the deposit?
Thanks for the info.

Yes you will. Joe is on it.
Congrats

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Jack Danger will be streaming the game with a special guest Tuesday night at 7PM EST on his twitch channel.
I'm sure you'll hear the music when he streams the game.

Thank you! Curious if all 23 tracks were in the prototype version or is this an add for the production run?

AP building goodwill with home brew is great and as potential consumer, let’s get full disclosure on standard pricing to capitalize on support. Just odd.
Got the mag today -excellent.

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:

but I’ll bet it’s a sequel to a Nordman game.

Party Animal 2 - The long Hangover!?

Supported AP in the past. They build fun, solid games. Hope this nonsense about 2k games is just a rumor or the company is now run by a charlatan.

Quoted from Colehvac1:

All American games just plummeted

Just? Unfortunately it’s been heading south for awhile. Enjoy their recent games too but the tank may have sank the ship.

Quoted from Gamingrulin:

Sounds like this is AMERICAN PINBALLS maybe last game depending we may see one more but idk! Just wouldn’t buy any of these games none are that great!

Quoted from TheBeefSupreme:

I’m potentially open to unlicensed if I am getting something in return for their licensing cost savings. Either pack the game with features that players actually value

People always say this and AP offered it with their first few titles but got no support.
Community can’t bark if you don’t bite.

#3754 83 days ago
Quoted from onemilemore:

Related though, how easy was it for the community to support? Were AP games easy to find on location? When I was interested in Hot Wheels

Again, always a reason to not to do something.
Not playing doesn’t seem to be a problem with licensed themes.
Bottom line unlicensed won’t sell but people will forever say they want it. Go figure.

#3767 83 days ago
Quoted from TreyBo69:

David Fix hired a designer whose last games included Whoa Nellie Big Juicy Melons and Elvira House of Horrors.

EHOH great game. Great boobs.

#3774 83 days ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

Yeah that’s right - he wanted her for the younger hero character. I guarantee she can’t act either. Also, they’d need to invest in a giant LCD to fit her peacock hair.

Sounds like another Pinball “celebrity” with an ego as big as the hairdo.

#3779 83 days ago
Quoted from Zablon:

No, they were marginally cheaper, but not nearly cheap enough.

Well, not sure what “enough” means as they initially offered rock solid and reliable packed games at a good value -until recently. People like to talk about unlicensed but spend on licensed themes and remakes. Is what it is.

#3786 82 days ago
Quoted from PinStalker:

I was super happy to try it for the 1st time at Expo....... great game!!! Really enjoyed it...... fun layout, good mechs, great ramps.......however.... the art is atrocious, choosing beer steins makes no sense to me, and I don't like the spinning head sculpt (who is that? German Santa?).
This is a game that could use an "anniversary edition": Redo the art, improve the animations, a lot more people would be interested. Fun game.

Nah, just take a flight over during Oktoberfest.
Report back. It will make sense.

Quoted from LTG:

Mine came yesterday. But couldn't get it out of the truck because of three huge immovable pallets in front of it.
Supposed to come back today.
If all goes well it will be on the floor and ready to play tomorrow. ( Saturday )
LTG : )

Please share pics!

Quoted from toddtuckey:

I think Barry would be THRILLED with this tribute machine. One of my top 6 games of all time is Barry's PINBOT.

Pinbot pure classic, timeless.

Quoted from benheck:

Every time Spooky asks me about theme ideas I say Duck Tales. That and Blade Runner.
Eventually somebody will make a classic Disney pin with nice clean 2D artwork and swim around like Scrooge McDuck in all the money they make.

Like the Blade Runner idea - sweet theme.
