I like Bally space invaders pin and thought this is exciting. Um no after seeing the video. I think battlepin wins hands down to this one

Every move is a step forward. I like it.

 

Hopefully they do give the working concept to one of the US companies to develop further for them and they get a great designer to tweak it and put some furniture and gameplay in there.

I totally concur with your valued opinion :D

Would you also concur that it's a step in the correct direction?

Yep, good to see a Head2Head Pinny Revolution has started. When I spoke to Gary Stern about it at Pinfest, he said there was no money in them, so no one would make them anymore. Time will tell if he was right . ( Oh I will also take credit for starting the revolution :D Viva La Revolution ! )

I'll run with that. You have certainly set the goal posts so far off they'll need binoculars to see them:cool:

This is me trying to convince Jersey Jack to make one instead of Pirates :lol

@thegrunta666,

You have competition from the Dutch:

Although they do think the cost would be $25k to $30k (I assume in USD).

Notice it took an Aussie to open the eyes of the industry. No research and development department. No massive budget. No people standing around getting a pay packet, just an Aussie that wanted something and went ahead and did it himself with the help of his mates.

Hats off to @thegrunta666 .

Thank you for showing that Aussie spirit isn't dead.

Dont forget pinball hugs!

The head to head pinball is not a new concept. The last production models were the Alvin G models of the 90's. They were not very popular nor did they hold any significant resale value compared to used pinball prices at auctions either. As a home use re themed novelty I see the entertainment value and grunta has done a great job on his version, as for a commercial venture I don't see them flooding an arcade anytime soon.
