Looks great, I definitely need to have a game next time I see one. I not a big fan of car games I've played, but I haven't played a great many titles in this theme.

I'm not a car fan at all - but I can see the theme ties well with the rules and sound. I'm amazed at how good this title is. Many of the DMD's I did not previously rate (ST TNG, Shadow and now Corvette) are very good players - it is just that it is rare to play a perfectly working game. So it is a bit of a learning process for me as well.

I'm tweaking the LEDs at the moment and I'm very happy with the results. I used ALL LEDs on and under the playfield except the yellow 555 lamps with the condoms. I still cannot find a good substitute. The flashers are all LEDs. The backglass has all LEDS for GI, but the 906 are all standard. I don't like 906 LEDs behind the backglass. The contrast between the dimmer 555 LEDS (than standard) and the 906 flashers is too much.

I'm really pleased with the translite LED effect ;





Frustratingly, I cannot find the spare part number for the left hand side factory protector. Lucky I had one on anther game to use on this game. All three of my other corvette's don't have them. I'll email Cliffy and see if he has made one. I can't see how there cannot be one on this game - even with the stronger Pinball Inc Ramps. Also, the decal is missing above the protector - hopefully I have one on its way  &&





A couple of bling shots to highlight the LEDs ;











On the home stretch with this title. My son has play tested it to death !
