ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE
Tonight we were able to spend 4 hours at PPE before it officially opened.
And THAT was fantastic as it gave us time to check out the show, the games and get photo's without many people around.
We were also given posters, programs and a small / decent feed tonight.
PPE is exactly like you see in images - there are just tonnes of games here.
I didnt expect a lot of DMD's and there arent THAT many.
There is a lot of SS games ( enough to keep me entertained ) and a STACK of EM's and woodies.
As a guess there was probably around 100 - 150 people in the hall tonight.
We got LOADS of game time.
It is a VERY difficult room to photograph - I have done my best.
Here you go people.
I think I broke the last rule
A nice Gottlieb Circus in this row
I had played this one earlier
Some of the many SS games
Including an Algar and an Embryon - cool huh
I had played this one earlier
I even played the Lucky 7 earlier
Hadnt seen this before...
Can someone explain this crazy wierd-ar$e game to me please
It seems kind of cool but I have no idea what I am doing.
Tony found the 'Tournament Room' and we hung out in there for around 30 minutes - we realised we couldnt play in here tomorrow much ( if at all ) and we played T2, TZ, Iron Man, Centuar, Joker Poker , Pinball Magic and Joker Poker - all in nice condition.
VERY few people were in here - it was great.
Check the rules - NO practice games !
I had just played this one in the Tournament Room
They have some DMD's here - probably around 20-30 all up.
And if you play ( one of the 2 ) Trons, then the whole show gets to see how you play as each Tron has an overhead camera projecting your play onto the screen above
AFM has the new coloured DMD running in it and it does look very good.
To me each dot appears slightly larger, I am not sure if this is an illusion or the result of me crazy head having lived with Tony for the last 10 days
Some random shots
AWESOME backglass on a game I dont enjoy - GREAT backglass actually.
And from my new favourite game
Now - there is a game here ( and the private collector we visited had one too ) called Jolly Park.
It is a Spanish game based on an amusement park.
It plays VERY NICELY and has some cool shots and excellent 'bumpers' as you will see.
There are only 8 of these in the USA - we have now played 2 of them
Check it out.
Has anyone of you heard of this game before ?
Part of the upper playfield.
Down on the lower right is the shooting gallery 'drop targets' which can be hit from a flipper midway up the left side of the PF
And these have to be the coolest 'bumpers' I have ever seen - the litle bumper cars wobble around and light briefly when the skirt/ swithc is activated.
Another bonus is that we have found only ONE game to have ONE weak flipper - most games here are playing well.
It has just gone midnight and I am pooped.
Nancy is already gone for the night.
Tomorrow we get to listen / see what the latest is with WOz and I will report back in the evening for you all.
Regards
Wotto & Tony
