there ya go... pinup girl style.... the top one needed to wait until her "chair" dents were gone before the photo shoot

[The Loafer]

The top pic is the current db2s I am using, has a neat fire effect from the gun that is triggered when some of the table flashers go off. It's the first time I see the pinup version, I think it's great, is there a high res version of this pic somewhere?

for sure the majority of the complaints are reserved due to the backglass and the fact its a Gottlieb Premiere table which automatically means people hate it. Premiere Tables have their fans though and many say they are super fun to play. I've played the real Raven at the Ottawa Pinball show two years ago and I thought it was a fun table, as long as I didn't look up lol. Maybe the playfield art isn't perfect but man I have seen many worse pins!

Another table from Premiere that seems to be getting more popular these past few years is Torpedo Alley, I hope to see a nice recreation of this one some day. Yes, it's another with a weird backglass! Lol

[hauntfreaks]

wow... ok... Torpedo Alley , might take the cake.... I thought "bad girls" was terrible...  LOL... was it just they had new 4 color process technology to print that style BG?... or do you think they really thought the subject matter was cutting edge...

I guess its what generation of pinball you were subjected to growing up that you wind up liking most... I like cartoony style stuff like how if Tex Avery would have did a PF and BG....

Beautiful table, thanks a lot.

 

I don't have a problem with the ramps and the ball always going to one side, not sure if something was changed in the meantime. Sometimes the ball went to the left, next time to the right, so to me it seems to be fine the way it is.

 

However I don't quite understand the logic for the 'SNIPER' playfield lights. As far as I saw, the ones close to the helicopter and to the left side sniper were always on, the other two were off. If the actual sniper popup was up, then they flashed. So I'm not sure why would be two of them always on and the other two off when the corresponding sniper is hiding.. Can someone explain how they should be? At the same time, I though these are ROM controlled, so they must be OK but it doesn't make sense to me...

Any chance you could upload said DB2S for others to use?

That Rambo version is hilarious

[dark]

I love the 80's style midi music on this table, it's what makes it a table worth re-visiting again and again for me.

[Nemo]

OMG Hauntfreaks you cracked me up with your GREAT Rambo release, just hilarious, loving it !!!

[The Loafer]

Alternate db2s: I thought I got it here but if not, it would be at the "other" site. Just google visual pinball db2s and one of links that isn't this site will be where you can find it. Apologies for the cryptology, just the way it is.
I laughed with the new Rambo theme but Jeezus that is one odd cartoon version of him!

[vampirolatino2]

lol you guys are crazy!!

[freneticamnesic]

hey hauntfreaks if you're going to link to that ......dubious ...... art package make sure you get approval from the author(s)

link to the b2s is fine but don't include a modified table unless icpjuggla approves

[STAT]

If someone wants to alter the pf and make the girl look like Rambo and put together backglass art to match for it we could put out an updated version with the new playfield etc. I'm sure we could just add an option in the script for that as I've seen it done on another table. We can still keep the pin called Raven b/c in the movies it's a mission Rambo went on. I beleive it was called 'Operation Raven'.

I really enjoy playing this pin as I think it's pretty fun my self. It's an underrated pin but quite fun to play..

 

But ^^Fren^^... I was taking on what ICPjuggla was saying....  

[The Loafer]

I think icpjuggler meant it as suggested: send art files to them so it's part of the official release.

... In saying that, I honestly thought this was a joke! Sorry about that! Lol
