It also highlights the fact that the other pinball companies programmers aren't doing their jobs properly ... Or are not allowed to do their jobs properly. One or the other.

I've said it a lot ... Code updates should take days (including testing) .... not months. Or years. Crazy.

The $50 you save on the BOM will go nowhere towards paying the $10,000s that it would cost to create all the colour video for a LCD display.

Hopefully it will be at the Chicago Expo in October and Hilton can share the WOOLY love with me

Look forward to playing it.

Should change the name to Medusa II - wrath of Olympus.

Bitching.

rd.

No love for my idea? I think it is freaking genius. But I guess I would....

Will you guys have this game at Chicago Expo this year?

I'd like to get a chance to play it. If I can get WhySnow off it of course.

Almost as many shots as BLACKWIDOW in Avengers lol!

EDIT: it is the same! I learnt to count.

Sounds like a cool mode.

Another way you could do it would be that when you hit it the first time, the score freezes for 5 seconds to enable you to nail it again. With or without the 2x. Because it is counting down pretty damn fast. A lot of work to collect all the PROMETHEUS letters for a 15 second shot at points. Just my 10c worth, obviously I haven't played the game first hand ...

Look forward to checking it out in October.

I have seen no evidence of what you are saying. Aurichs posts have remained constant over the last few years. Apart from mentions of Alien here and there, I can't see anything has changed. What he (and Rarehero) say here is true, and Roshs excellent post above summerises everything nicely.

Unfortunately for Wooly, it was just a year or two late ... If it had been announced in 2010-2012 (now referred to as "the crazy years") I have no doubt they would have sold 200 units at $8000 a pop.

But now, it won't happen. Millions of bucks disappeared at JPOPs local Starbucks and on Kevin's fantasy lifestyle. Twice bitten ... Thrice shy, as the saying goes.

I have no doubt that if they actually start making them, and punters can see the machine arriving in customer houses and the customer has a big smile on his face, Wooly will sell. Even at $7995. Especially if they are limited to 100 or 150 like AMH.

Agree with this and Llyods comments. The vast majority of wealthy pin buyers I know don't even know how to do a LED job, let alone build an entire machine.

rd

It's been a jam packed few days, but finally got to see WOOLY tonight and speak to the guys (like at midnight ....!)

What a stunning looking game. Top effort by the guys.

JLM, you're going to enjoy it, I'm sure.

Unfortunately I was too late to play it, but I could see by the layout that the shot geometry looked sweet. Some tight shots and some wider ones. Should be a good challenging game.

Sweet!

rd

To be fair though, the call for 100 deposits was right after the Predator and Jpop f**kups ... so a lot of people had been burned and were (and still are) gunshy.

I saw it at expo last year and it looked super cool. Unfortunately I was not able to play it so I can't comment on that.

I'm 1000% certain that if Spooky put this into limited number production (say 200 or 300) these things would get snapped up.

rd

Spooky have a proven production record that would inspire confidence in the customers. They'd sell out no problems.
