Re: I'm sneaking Future Pinballs sessions in at work!
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Fussbett"I agree with the "okay" rating, because it lacks an endgame and more things to do. ICJ will need to register with pinball-originals.com to see the download button, so he'll never know.[/quote] I'm not giving my name to a computer. Actually, I'll go ahead and do it. I hate forums that do not allow you to view them without registering and I hate places "hosting" files that demand you register before seeing a download link. On the other hand, I love pinball in all its many manifestations, even when it takes the form of me pretending to tilt a machine by hitting "z" and shouting, "BULLSHIT!" when the ball drains to the left anyway, followed by an attempt to do a death save by kicking the office table. [quote]I've glanced over some other original tables and most are ATROCIOUS. Other good ones I didn't mention include: Metal Slug and the Medieval Castle one that the Spaniard made (the dude who remakes all the foreign Taito tables like Hawkman )[/quote] Oh cool. I have seen Hawkman but not the other two. Hawkman allows a great deal of table shaking, which is good, because if it goes anywhere near the side drains you're fucked like the real Hawkman would be fighting anyone other than, say, the Riddler. [quote](avoid Cavaleiro Negro!)[/quote] The table, or just in general? To be safe, I'll do both. [quote] The dearth of good original tables is an opportunity. Someone here with time and programming ability should get to work on learning Future Pinball so that we can make a (warm up) Caltrops table followed by an Old Man Murray table that would drive traffic here in a way the fabled MacHall link only dreamed about. [/quote] Excellent! [quote]F-A-G rollovers, drop targets with little crates on them, a Roberta Williams bumper, all the memes are there... I'm free to do all the graphics in October. Everyone can chip in ideas and Jerry Whorebach can make fun of us. A real team effort. I'll be posting again in another month, and I expect to hear about some progress. Get on it.[/quote] I would like to start things off by requesting a .wav file of "STOP MOWING" and "HA HA" through a megaphone for the Caltrops table. Having Motherhead's Newell picture prominently involved on the table would also be a good idea. I'll get to work on getting a copy of I-82 for the purposes of the soundtrack. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! [/quote]
