My current line-up - with Metallica !1!one!11!!

[pooman2084]

This is my line-up.

Huge thanks to Robotgreg for the loan of Congo!

NF is a stunning game, so much flow in never a second to rest - hugely under-rated IMHO

SM is HUO with only 500 games on it

Sadly all will have to go to make way for METALLICA!

[IDCHAPPY]

That's a nice collection of pins buddy

 

[smythe]

which is the best to play?

s

 

[Equites]

Dude where's your Robotron?

 

[pooman2084]

Don't worry, Robotron is still in there and will be the last one to go!

I'd say Spidey is the best to play. So much flow and real depth to the rules.

No Fear is a close second though, they share a similar layout and are both Steve Ritchie / Lyman Sheats games.

 

[pooman2084]

Spiderman now gone, NF going next week

Metallica better be good.....!

 

[Alpha1]

It's looking good so far!

 

[Deathrow]

Nice line up you have/had.

Whats No Fear like to own?

 

[pooman2084]

What's this pulled up outside. Could it be?

Wooot! It's here!

It's out the box.....

Just the playfield straps to remove now!

 

[pooman2084]

In its new position!

Powered on for the first time - no errors!

A super cheesy Pooman thumbs up for a safely delivered game!

There is an issue with the Hammer lock, but Stern are on the case as it seems to effect all export games.

Martin from Pinball news is 'round today to do a review for the Pinball News website, watch this space!

 

[Alpha1]

You total and utter bastard

 

[guddler]

Hahaha! Ditto. NICE!!!!

I've plugged in an external sub which makes a huge difference to the sound. Each spinner spin makes a booming double kick drum THUD!

Early impressions are excellent. Build quality is great, the LE toys all look the part and the powder coat chrome is really nice.

Special mention must go to the back glass, it really is like a mirror when the game is off!

The early game code is very promising and the various multiballs stack and work well together.

The biggest bonus for me is the integration of the LEDs, they really work well. I had a fear that I wouldn't be able to play it for long as I really dont get on with LEDs in WPC games, but they are fantastic here. Nice and bright, but without strobing and ghosting. The colour changers work well so far, but I'm sure Lyman will get them used more widely as the code progresses.

I'll give you £50 for it.

 

[Big Phil]

Very nice but....did I miss the FS-Spiderman thread?

 

[pooman2084]

It was sold as a part-ex against the Metallica through Pinball Heaven.

After a few problematic trades, this was the path of least resistance and he gave me exactly what I paid for it, so I was happy.

Looks Great! Should be picking mine up next week

(Never had a stern before)

Kick ass dude - it rocks!

It is paramount you play a few games on the stock SW BEFORE upgrading (something to do with country codes at first boot), but yeah, I upgraded to 1.16

Be aware that 1.16 kind of screws up the hammer lock - should be fixed in the next SW release and Stern are sending a few boards in case it is hardware related too.

As for the sub, I just put 2 crocodile clips on some speaker cable, attached to the in cab sub inputs then put the other end in the 'high pass input' on the sub. It makes a HUGE difference and well worth doing. At the minute I just feed the wire through the coin door, but will feed it out of one of the grilles in the back eventually.
