Dang! Wish the playfield was more clear if you know what I mean

[dboyrecords]

Yeah, not so pretty... I'd have loved to find a better PF pic (and BG). If anyone has better pics and cares to share, let me know!

You are doing this alphabetically right? Good you are almost up to the H and a green raging monster!

Even though some of these don't look great, at the very least I see 5 positives:

- they allow us to get an idea on how the real table plays
- they provide an incentive for art guys to maybe put their skills towards updating a table they liked
- a really cool table can be (re)discovered and motivates an author to do a new build
- some of these with updated art assets being readily available, you have done a great job in making them look better and for me are great as is, certainly pincab worthy
- you are finally getting to the "H"'s. Eheh

Oops, I already said the last one...

loafer i agree with you! they are "playable" and darn fun at that! arngrim adding feedback sure makes them better playing! and dboy does tweak the physics of the ones he releases so they play good...or better than a regular vp8 rotated table. if anything these are placeholders for future versions that may or may not be updated down the road. BTW i was saying i wish the playfield had more detail so i could see the women better!

Crap, they're on to us! Start shredding, Ollie!!!

Yes, loosely alphabetical. Sometimes Arn makes me go out of turn. I've already done all of these but as they get ready for uploading they now get a good round of tweaks from kiwi and arngrim. Some tables they do A LOT. we're getting a pretty good system down.

Your 5 points are EXACTLY why I'm (we're) doing it. The thing I've loved most about this hobby is experiencing "real (virtual)" pinball machines. In any condition... As I do in the real world. A lady at a restaurant (from pinball locator app) told me the machine didn't work. I asked if I could turn it on and risk my quarter. 2nd ball got stuck. Totally worth a quarter

I've been sticking with the ones that don't have a FS available. I've also got a bunch of "improved" versions of the spanned etc... We'll see about those after U. if you look at my upload list the DB2S's pretty much say what's coming.

And thanks, I try to find better pics, gimp a little, kill as many circle light/decals as I can, import some physics. And again BIG thanks to kiwi and arn. But really I did them for me but then decided to share (with permission).

Well, it's bloody appreciated here (and at Randr's house, I can sense his happiness via a disturbance in "the force")

[dboyrecords]

Now, your big green monster is one that has a pretty nice FS and all I really did to mine was new plunger. We can work on arn to add DOF... But it's not on my list :/

... Now, Amazing Spider-man is a different story... but that's for round 2

[The Loafer]

The green monster one I have didn't have a good play field, at least not that I recall though in FP land, there was a super nice release.

Now I assumed nothing could be done with ASM... You are just teasing right?

[dboyrecords]

Now you've got me thinking about Hulk pics... The FP redraws are nice but make lights a pain... I'll give a new look.

Spidey I did quite a while back, but found some nice pf pics, not perfect but a much sharper pf.

[The Loafer]

You are torturing me man...

[dboyrecords]

Maybe I should send you a suggestive sliver of a screenshot for maximum titillation

Just found nice Hulk pics on IPDB (look nice on phone anyway)... Need to secure some permissions. Might bust alphabet and have a Marvel day. Because to further tease you, technically, Hulk is Incredible Hulk

[The Loafer]

[arngrim]

there is already a fs of hulk right?
