Hey Spacejam, did you end up playing?, and what did you think of it? Did you end up buying it?
Hi
Was gonna wait and see what happens before I made this post but I'll bring you up to speed now and then let you know later if it happened or not.
I went and played it last Sunday afternoon. I am told it is 4 months old (but hard to know for sure). It has spent it's days in crown casino and I guess as a result of this (there security) it looks like it just came out of the box. I was very impressed with the look of the game, majic cabinet and 3D backglass but the playfield was no to my tastse...this is one area where I'm a little more old school.
I played about 10 games and to be honest wasen't really that much into it. I didn't really let this worry me as I know from past experience that I have never really been into any of my games until I have given them a fair bit of play..kind of grow on me as I get to know them. That said there really didn't seem to be that much going on.
I had a few problems with the ball getting stuck down one of the kick out holes and then it started doing some random stuff such as scoring while the ball was stuck down the hole and the DMD doing weird stuff. As I had never played Tron before I didn't know if this was normal or not but it didn't feel right to me. Also it was hard to hear over the music being played..One last thing the lighting was very low so difficult to really look at the finer detail for scratches dings..ect.
Anyway I'll try to cut a long storey short here. I told him of the faults and he said he will get his teck to check it out. Rang me on Wedensday and advised me it was a stuffed board. He is changing the board under warranty and was meant to call me Friday to bring me up to date but as yet I have not heard from him..I have left him 2 messages so will have to wait and see.
We did agree on a price but no money has changed hands so we shall see I made him a low ball offer figuring he would probably reject and was suprised when he accpted. I figure if it doesn't grow on me I can always move it on.
Will ring him again tomorrow and keep you updated.
Regards
Tim
