Thanks TAB! Interesting to see at IPDB that there is a "desert storm" themed pin that's based on Checkpoint. Seems quite odd that at the height of the Gulf War they would make a pinball machine with that theme. Goes into the drawer "useless trivia"....

Thank you I noticed that this table uses the same SFX as BTTF table or visa versa?

...but using modified rom for this table. And we haven't it.

Cool TAB. Thanks! I don't care much for the fingers on the cabinet, but they don't need to show up for 16:9 or fullscreen tables, so it's ok.

Was a old joke from me - why not Also the money. Such looks in earlier times with playing with friends
Deleting the decals ....

...but using modified rom for this table. And we haven't it.

And the chance of getting that rom will not be good seeing as there is only 1 table made......I'm still hoping we get to see the pinball table that I once saw in a Michael Jordan photobook: http://www.ipdb.org/...earchtype=quick There are 7 units built, so there is a slightly better chance of ever seeing it, or getting the rom. Any trivia on that?

Data East have much modified roms
Aaron Spelling, Ritchi Rich ...endless list. Was good thinking - to order your only pinball for you

Hands on the machine..this is very funny! It looks like we play a special "bonus entertainment level" in DOOM...

[TAB]

Perhaps someone can makes the fingers moving
Was only a joke with the hand - but they are mine

[Mr. Pacman]

Cool! Imaging the movement of the hands when you tilt...

Thanks for your work!
