I like the art on flicker. The backglass art on Champ is Ok, actually a bit cool. playfield is drab though. boomerang art is bad, but we've beat that dead...
I picked up a Sherrif (1971 Gtb). Do people like this game? The right side is a very strange layout. I'll whomp this baby up for the next EM club meeting and...
I was never impressed with that 2 lane thing on the right side of the playfield and Gottlieb made a few games with this same design. I can see the skill...
I had never seen the Sheriff/Lawman game before but I sure recognised the playfield layout immediately. It would seem to be nearly identical to my 1975 Gtb...
While the PF layouts are basically identical, some of the "design features and rules sets" are very different. Sheriff/Lawman has a ball gate along the bottom...
In the early 70's my brother and I played Lawman a lot at Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor. It was his favorite game. I thought it was O.K.and not too hard to win...
Since Jim Patla designed all the games in question, maybe you could interveiw him on TopCast (if he is still around), and ask him why he used such similar...
Tom, a couple of years ago at an Expo I asked Patla almost the same thing you want to know: how he kept coming up with new ideas when he had to grind out...
Yeah, another game I think Patla took a shortcut on or ran out of ideas on was Circus/Big Show. Now that game is boring. Also if you compare the PFs on Flip...
I did talk to Jim Patla about Flicker at the AMOA show in the Conrad Hilton
back in the 70's and he said that he wanted to design a game with only one
bumper. ...
... That was my first pin 25 years ago. Copped it for $275 from an arcade that was selling off their older EMs. Not a bad game; nice bonus feature, and...
Hello all, I just picked up a Pokerina cheap. Same old issue with the batteries and the leakage from them. I will have to get a new board or have this opne...
Hello All, Been awhile since I've posted here. Thought maybe someone here would know of an extra glass for this OC project I picked up. Nice enough game and...
Howdy, Monte Carlo is a great game, I like the artwork and game play. An interview would be interesting. I noticed that if a design works, it gets used on...
Hi Fanman, Nah! Not baiting, just bored and being silly on a Friday afternoon, watching the clock to get out of work for the holiday weekend. Dying to check...
Mark i don't think that game was working right then. After all the targets are down, you should have been raping the game for replays. But when the ball drains...
Hi Clay, I think she looks that way because her waist is squeezed in so tight! :-) I'm looking forward to it, I've always wondered about that game. A very...
Good Morning Clay, I seemed odd, after all that work they just sat there down. It was really anti-climatic. I would hope there would be more to it otherwise...
Hi Chief, Please post your opinion when you get Pokerino working. Kind of crazy artwork, but I always wondered how well it played. Wide open playfield. ...
mark i've played target alpha and that's a good game. i really think something was wrong with the canada dry. ... Dry, ... really ... aunt) ... the ... you...
3 versions, since they also made a single player version called Texas Ranger. I have a buddy who has one, and it is an oddball low production home model...
Now that I've finished stenciling my Gtb 2001 I'm wondering if mylar stencils can be reused? They seem like they would work again with a fresh coat of tack...
... fresh coat of tack spray. ... pattern as a Gtb Dimension. ... I got two 2001 pins plus one Dimension pin, that all could use a fresh paint job. You located...
MrMarco, I will post my opinion once I get it working and post some pics as well. Have you used any particular business that repairs pinball circuit boards ...
A few months ago, I joined up with the local volunteer first aid squad. They have a rec room, which is...mostly empty. A couch, and a broken TV. I am looking...
