The correct Aaron Spelling ROM is only in the one machine that exists. Apparently, a dump was attempted, but it was bad and not useable. Dunno if someone could ever get a hold of the table, let alone pull off a dump.

The McD

I played a real one and the dmd roms did not seem to be working 100%

Have you ever noticed that Grand Prix is exactly the same as Nascar?

The only major difference is use of the Nascar trademarks.

I know there were other examples such as Data East's "Aaorn Spelling" (which VPinMAME cannot find the ROM to emulate).


I wonder why they did such a thing where two "twin" pinballs are seperated at birth.....

And why is that?

I like any form of racing so I'm ok with both and putting it into a pinball table is a bonus.

However don't be so down on NASCAR, say what you will about the people that watch it but when you think of the physics of the sport:

• A car at 280mph gets down force that keeps it on track
• getting close to another car around a banked corner means loss of front down force which pushes the car to the wall
• only way to overtake a car is to get close
• sitting behind another car causes the car to run hot
• more cars in a line can bump draft a car faster than on car by itself

Like anything generalizing about even watching the paint dry can make something sound boring, but when you think about the chemical reactions happening to allow that paint to dry, balanced with atmospheric conditions needed to allow this to happen, and the exchange of energy occuring it can become interesting.

LMAO...I'm a physics teacher, and I often try (& succeed?!) to make stuff sound interesting & cool...but even I thought you sounded like a nerd here...brilliant

Going around in a circle boring eh??? Tell ya what...I'll strap you into a sprint dirt car....850 hp in a 1200 pound car. You don't really turn sprint cars,
you slide them thru the turns at a 120 mph on a dirt/clay track. Touch tires with a competitor and your airborne!
Bring a change of underwear and a barf bag...you'd need it!!!
I think some nascar is boring but racing on a dirt track is much more spectacular to do and watch.

The Aaron Spelling Table was made special for Aaron Spelling by Data East (his wife gave it to him as a present). The game was based on the Lethal Weapon DE Table. Reference: The Pinball Compendium 1982 to Present.

You'll never see the roms released for this.

So you're a racer?

[faralos]

well I don't know here, I got into it living with a redneck two years past so can say it is fun to watch! I am not a freak about it but it's interesting to say the least. i don't care too much on the physics but I do know there is one track that they race on where turn 4 is a bitch I want to call it the 'wall' but dont quote me here but yo uDo know what NASCAR stands for right?

I think the late George Carlin said it best, and it reflects my opinion of auto racing:

"Where else can I see a 26 car collision and not be in the thing!"

and

"Driving 200mph in a circle does not impress me!"

I realize this pertains more to NASCAR than F1 racing, however both run on a fixed course whether in a circle or on a laid-out road course.

Non Athletic? the pit guy don't seem to be NON Athletic.

This year if will nice to be able hear the driver radio's on hot pass.

My favorite racing themed pinball is an original created by Black and Stein called F-1. It was unique in that it was kind of self-contained, didn't seem to need VP started to play it.

[Liteuser]

I think Striker Xtreme and NFL use the same basic table layout as well. Stern should take the best table layouts and add new themes for them. I would like to see some Stern horror themed Pins.

I think a Sprint car themed table would be cool, World of Outlaws or some thing.

[Crazy DarnFool Duck]

I don't really care for either.

[nromo]

I have an America Hot Wheels. The best racing theme pin out there IMO.

 

Sorry, old thread!!
