This looks SO beautiful that I would almost think of begging Rich for another artwork set for my Video Pinball.......
Almost...
-

-

i know two guys with a video pinball in europe: you andré and the german collector punkrockcaveman. so let's bounce this back between holland and germany ;)

Well, not a bad cab (very good looking in fact), but :
-it was a Tron !
-pinballs are always better with the real thing : ball movements, bumpers ... feeling is different.
-
wow! - it´s not even on KLOV yet! ;D
-
fortunately, i'm not into real pinballs AT ALL, but this video pinball definitely is a piece of art! what an incredible amount of work must have gone into it - pure dedication!

I actually meant that we need to MAKE one like this ! This is NOT a conversion, it's a completely newly build thing (OK except for the Control Panel). (By the way, I thought Laschek has one as well ?)
Scr33n could do the cab I'm sure ! ;D
@jcp: How come you think this was a Tron ? Have you actually read the links I posted ?
I'll summarize it:
- Rich from ThisOldGames.com created this cabinet NEW. The only original part used was a Control Panel from Ebay. All the other stuff is NEW. The artwork was created NEW by Rich.
Xray2 (of KLOV forum) has created a NEW playfield (in memory) and adapted/hacked the original Video Pinball game to make it play this V2.0 of Video Pinball. He also added a MP3 player board that plays back sounds from the movie instead of the dull beeps and chirps from the original Video Pinball.
Of course it is nothing like a real pinball machine, but Video Pinball, despite of it's age, is considered to be one of the best pinball emulations.
The ball movement is very like original, and this with the very limited processing power of the time.
The whole set-up of the cab, with the "fake" playfield that is projected through the half-mirror ,combined with the B/W graphics, the funky 70's disco theme and the black-light makes this a unique cab. Add to that the original controls (plunger, side-buttons, you can even nudge the Control Panel to "move" the machine.....and you have a great machine to own and restore......

André : sorry, I have missed the link :P !
Thanks for the summary ;).
I know a little Future Pinball which is a good pinballs emulator, but as I said upper, it's a different feeling.
-
(By the way, I thought Laschek has one as well ?)
That's right, I have one, it's just missing the cabinet ;D (PCB only).
-
in fact, sascha, you don't even have a pcb at the moment - who knows when or even IF you're going to get it back ;)
-
Don't paint the devil on the wall ;D ;D ;D
-
or: leave the church in the village ;D

OMG !
Just when you think "you know them all" !!!
WOW, I'd love to have that one :) Did you post this on the KLOV forum ?
I'm sure the game play is 100% identical as VP though...
-
Did you post this on the KLOV forum ?
Yes. I accidently stumbled across this while doing some research on italian cabs. I wonder if Rugby is popular in Italy?
