Never played this game. Love to see a gameplay vid when done.

I decided to take it to a mate to sort out the issues
He got it running someone had put a new coil in and the diode was the wrong way sorted out GI lights must of had a bad globe as we replace them one by one and the fuse didn't blow..

Blackout is a very simple game. Shoot the targets to complete red, green and yellow and then shot for the hole to achieve Blackout. The left spinner shot is a cool shot through both spinners to complete the Orbit.


Compared to Firepower, Blackout is more fun and good beginner game but is not as challenging for an experienced player it is still cool to play due to the awesome sounds. Firepower will kick your ass and is a lot more of a challenge and is ultimately better as it has multi ball.
I have Blackout on the hardest settings with no extra ball.
Playing on 3 Balls only.
Would be more of a challenge if you could change settings so you would have to shoot down red, green and yellow targets all in one ball to achieve blackout as it keeps the memory of the targets that are completed for the next ball.

Thanks


as with pinballs you are allways working on them
Now just fine tuning it to play nice set of drop targets needs work and 1 pop bumper is slow

still need to paint spinners and fit speaker ...

Don't forget to add fuses to the bridge rectifiers or put in one of my Bridge Boards.
Nino has them for you if you want it.

It would be a shame to see your work go up in flames if things go bad in the rectifiers.


More info is on my website www.inkochnito.nl (click on the Bridge Board image).
