Interesting !
The site is VERY difficult to navigate, so it is really hard to find out too much detail. Hopefully pinball news will do some sort of special ?
-
Found the information on RGP - a fellow just posted this link which gives a good view of the playfield

looks a remake of this (http://www.pinballnews.com/shows/tep2007/index_TEP2007f.jpg)

and there is alot more to come.
my brother sent me a copy of a email/site with a chineese manufacturer who is introducing a line of pinballs in the coming months.it is mainly for the asian markets. they are a rip off of a standard pinball machine, except the dotmatrix display is a lcd 22 inch computer monitor built into the back display, and the game is normal pinball with an over sized dotmatrix, that doubles as a video game screen. the pricing was around 5 grand USA. the themes were mainly sports like.
but its chineese. @.@ BUT , if they started doing repro addams familys or twilight zones, circus voltaire etc, i would buy one if it had a spares kit and a very very good pricetag. well maybe.?
-
Looks good, lets hope its the start of something good for pinball #*#

So long as the themes/titles don't suck, bring it on.
Hope some show up here in Oz.

Thanks for posting - Initial thoughts ;
- Looks VERY simplified and basic. One level and no ramps. An SS/EM feel ^^^
- LEDs instead of lamps
- Great artwork
I like it - but I want to see how the Display works within the game.
VERY grateful that we can see ACTUAL photos and progress *%*

Loved the first paragraph!!
It does look interesting - I think the price tag will ultimately decide whether this is a winner or not. Gameplay will determine whether they get repeat business.

Loved the first paragraph!!
Lol!!

it would be nice to see one here in Australia.
the led lighting looks good and was a smart move.
basketball just a boring american theme though.
hope they make a new one but with a better theme. i dont think stern has much to worry about but.

As a fan of innovation, I welcome new features such as:
*LCD display instead of DMD #*#
*Camera to record top player's images <.>
*Deletion of rollover slots by using magnetic sensors (providing they don't require trimming) %$%
*All LED lighting ^^^
*PCBs in lieu of sub p/f wiring (if the traces don't f**k up) !@#
*Even transparent drop targets :D
My hope is that having competition might fire Stern up to incorporate some of these ideas.
Overall the Grand Canasta is a seriously sucky theme and the game is rather two dimensional, but with advancements like this, MarsaPlay should well become a serious contender.
It's high time some genuine opposition emerged IMHO.
-
Well, congratulations to them. Hope they do well.
Can't have enough manufacturers I say.
Surely, they can only get better..........can't they. !@#
