Williams Flash Complete !
« on: December 27, 2008, 01:23:37 PM »

I documented this restore on the old InventForums site, but due to the fact that we closed that down, I never posted pictures of the completed Machine. So here is the fully completed Game - "Before" pictures and "After" pictures - If there is interest, I'll drag the thread over in its entirety.

Before











After











It plays like the day it was originally built - What a fantastic machine - Very underrated and my favorite Williams.

The new owner will be VERY PLEASED !!

Another sweet restore ^^^

A great (and tough) game to play, but let down by its artwork in my opinion.

cheers

Pictures do not do this game justice.

Nino, i saw the before product, actually was there to help you pick it up, and i PLAYED the finished product, ( sorry Creech #@# )

This game turned out beautiful... It has come up to be one of the nicest Flash i have ever seen !   $%$

Nino if i may suggest that you copy the thread in its entirety as i believe you deserve more credit on this restore and people would apprecite it alot more...

Creech, no matter how many pics have been sent to you, i can almost garauntee your eyes will still pop out of your head ! *%*

Once again Nino, awesome work. #*# #*#

Sounds like everyone in Australia has played this machine except me.  :lol

To say I'm busting to get this machine is an understatement. I drool over the pictures so I can imagine what it's like in the flesh.  #.#

Gotta agree with ballywannabe here,

game is severely let down by the artwork. Wms games lose me around this time - i call it "the dark period"

having said that though, it is a great game to play, and that has to be THE FIRST Flash BG ive seen with the red intact!

Looks great! Creech said it was OK for me to collect it and store it for him before the trip to SA, be over soon....

I guess you don't want that sl*t of a machine at all now, who wants to go slops anyway? I suppose I can take it off your hands then...

Hi Nino ... fantastic before/after pics. Did you ever drag the full thread across in its entirety? I know it is a little dated, but I would be really interested in looking through it since I have a Flash that is in need of a little bit of love. No worries if it is too difficult.
