FISHTALES has ARRIVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: November 04, 2009, 04:37:18 PM »
WOOHOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  $#$ $#$

My FISHTALES has arrived and has been securely laid in its resting place. HUGE Thanks to Markc for this machine and for the 2000000000 mtrs of bubble wrap and wrapping I now have to throw out.  :lol :lol :lol........... Was extremely well wrapped and I thank you for that really............  ^^^ ^^^

As I had to leave work to meet the courier at home to unload and unpack, I haven't had a chance to turn it on or check it out completely as yet but it looks mint and the cab artwork looks awesome.

The FRANK THOMAS BIG HURT also arrived (and looks very sweet also) and has been placed in the function room here at work to make a few $$$ for my State Sports teams until it is relocated to the home of Baseball here in WA at the "PERTH HEAT's" venue.........................

AGAIN A HUGE THANKS TO MARKc FOR THESE TWO MACHINES..............

Will post pics later tonight when I get home.........

I have zero experience with Big Hurt, but FT is a game I've owned twice and sold twice - and hope that the next time I own it, it will be for keeps!

I had a game on both of these games and they played fantastic. 

Big Hurt is fun and has some tricky shots on it.  I think at a sports venue is a great place to site it!.

Hopefully that ramp is inside the FT cab too!

Good onya Daics. Fishtales is a fun machine.Yeh, and as someoine said, can be bloody noisy with the fish topper.

The DMD animations can be great.The music on the machine is also very unique and fun.
How many machines have you bought in the last few months.Its about 5 now.
Just like fishin, keep catching them.Good onya Daics, Great Collection already.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^

FT is a really great game, much under-rated. You will love it and so will every one else that plays it, especially kids.
I know my kids love ours, as I do too!
Congrats on your new purchases!

I gotta find a FT to play - haven't for years, and can't remember if I liked it - hopefully I did so I can buy one too! ;)

Well done on the new pin buy...always a nice feeling.

Have to say that I didn't appreciate this game until last Saturday after visiting Wotto and him giving a 'run through' on game play on this.

Much more than I ever thought.

Also excellent to see you still into baseball - the greatest game on earth  ^^^

Fishtales looks mint all lit up, however I am going to replace the globes with LED's for extra brightness..... That is after I give her a workout..... That's if i can get the bloody kids off it so I can have a game............ Some pics with standard globes..........

Congrats mate  @@*

Fish Tales is in my line-up and isn’t going anywhere….

It took me a while to get into but I kept re-reading the rules and started to realise there was more in the game than what I realised. Get an understanding of the Long Cast shot and how it ‘adds’ to the Boat captive ball values and also when Stretch The Truth is available……there are some really good shots available on the game.

Enjoy it – oh and LED it like EB !
DW Drums rule !

The blue bulbs look a lot better than stark white in the topper as Greg has innovated but may I humbly suggest trying for a looksee at the normal bulbs with green slipon silicons- Just another choice
