I want to apologise for not really knowing much about this game, but is that a ramp behind a ramp?


One ramp is higher than the other, so the centre one has a steep entry compared to the one that enters on the right, and they then cross over.
 

Looks like the front one raises to allow a shot to the back one?


The centre one does rise, but to allow balls to be locked under the playfield for multi-ball.

I
And this is an extremely rare game is that correct? As in less than 10 or something like that.



Nine were reportedly completed, and one since destroyed.


Looks like an interesting game, would love to see some video if you could do that once it is up and running.


There's some videos here of the whitewood fully playable, and hopefully not too much smoke on the weekend and I will have one then too.

Speechless mate. I remember the look on your face when you proudly demonstrated how you sanded the groove in the shooter lane. It has been an incredible journey !

That's brilliant well done!  Hope you can get some time to post a detailed gameplay video.  If only someone would remake this game and offer it for sale, instead of remaking other production games.

Got it playing well Friday night, but its the Geelong Speed Trials this weekend so had to get things ready for today.  Will organise some vids this week.

As for being made, I believe it is a 95% chance of seeing a limited production run. Expect we'll know more by mid next year.

That's great news!  Any idea on who will be making them?

I do, but it is not for publication at this stage. Don't meant to sound cryptic but I have not been told I can share information. If it gets done, it will in my opinion be done to a quality rather than to a cost given those involved. I have shared some of my work with them, and offered what I have to assist.

Thanks for the lamp condoms mate!! Will try and get them installed tonight, as they are a big part of the multi-ball lighting effects, so want them going before I do a video.
