That's awesome-I had no idea that a project like this existed. FreeWPC eh...I'll have to check that out.

Sounds like a cool mod-what platform did he do this on? It's not a full on PROC replacement like CCC...full on reverse engineer?

What I've always thought was cool about jpop games was that they always tried to do something cool and inventive. WCS had the goalie blocking shots, the player controlled kickout for the "assist", and a neat magnetic lock. TOM had that amazing vertical ball lock on the trunk, and CV had the...

I'm really looking forward to seeing what can be done with that extra vertical space in the cabinet. Having the LCD at that level makes a lot of sense, especially in the ways that it's supposed to interact with the ball, but if also means that the game can have more levels. Artwork also looks...

It seemed like the Iron Man that had the superbands at Adam's had less friction than a standard rubber, meaning that the ball wouldn't slow down as much if you held a flipper up. That could be a combination of the material properties and the fact that there wasn't a layer of crud on it (so a...

So, after Expo this weekend, any more news on the Zidware games that can be shared? How's progress coming? I saw the sketches for Magic Girl on Pinside, and the art looks really cool-looking forward to seeing a finished game, and what new ideas are in there.

So I haven't seen anything saying there was a playable (or near-complete) Predator at the show-does the game still exist?

I only played SST a few times, but I thought it was pretty neat. That was the one with that extra mini flipper at the bottom, right? No idea how it holds up long term.

One other variable to consider is that the days of getting "beater" games seem to be pretty much over, as just about everything is being bought/sold by collectors now. Back in the day, an op could buy a game new, put it out and make its money back, so if they got something out of it afterwards...

That makes a whole lot of sense actually. Assuming they keep running these as long as they're in demand (within reason), then the idea of being able to go into a showroom, try one out, poke around under the playfield, and then buy one is really appealing. The real question is how big a batch...

The new format did a great job of keeping things moving, and having the machine selection done automatically also meant no searching around for people you didn't know. Just go to the machine and odds are the other person waiting there will be your opponent :) Big thanks to Adam and Denise...

Of course, the chromed handles with the regular side rails just look out of place, don't you think? Time to chrome the entire thing!

Congratulations! Now if you thought time was tight with one kid... :)

+1 to that. If these continue to be made available, then somewhere around 8k is probably the most you'd be able to ask for a MM. Why pay more when you can get a brand new one? Even with all that though, I seriously considered one of these, but I'm out for a couple of reasons. I'm already...

Yikes, 300 bucks for a hologram? I'd go with the LCD screen too given the choice...

Did you get the price from SB? 7999 CDN + HST?

Driver board under the PF? Looks like it's attached from the prototype pic...won't that make it much more prone to damage from vibration etc?

In the 6-8k range it'd be much easier to pull the trigger on one. 9500? A little much...

Any idea where else this is going to be available, or is pinballsales the sole distributor?

8k + shipping + HST -Probably 9500 by the time it's all done?
