Today was not a good day for pinball. Played a few rounds after work and didn’t make a single decent score. On the plus side I am now starting to look for a home table again. Let the Craigslist hunt begin.

Pics have been released for Stern’s AC/DC pinball machine. I was very excited about this game before I saw the photos. The art on the box and playfield seem very uninspired and the huge face on playfield is ugly. Also the playfield doesnt do anything exciting or new for pinball. The two ramp, two orbit, center shot is the same as many other Steve Ritchie games and unless you shell out a couple extra grand for the LE version of the game there are not really any cool toys or features. Here is a list of the features that come with the standard edition PRO model.
• 1 Ramp Mounted Magnetic Diverter For Cannon Loading
• High Definition Color Cabinet and Decal Artwork
• Motorized Rotating Ball Cannon, Player Controlled
• 3 “Thunderstruck” Standup Targets w/ Super Bright Flash Lamps
• 4 “ROCK” Standup Targets (on right)
• Lit Start/Fire Cannon Button w/ Laser Cut S/S Trim Plate
• Back Panel Jukebox Song Selector w/ Flashing Red Horns
• Posi-Lock Ball Ejector and Electric Top Gate
• 2 Molded Super Speed Ramps
• T.N.T. Explosion Butyrates In Key Locations
• 2 High Powered Slingshots
• 3 Super Bright LED Jet Bumpers
• 1 “Greased Lightning” Spinning Target
• Traditional Country-Specific Coin Door
• 8 Inch Cabinet Speaker with bold, enhanced sound quality
• QR Codes
• Molded “Hells Bell” Toy, Fixed, W/Standup Target
• Fixed T.N.T. Detonator
• Band Member Butyrate Display

It is my Birthday today and I am about to go out and find some tables to play. Hopefully I can get some new board scores tonight. Also got some sunglasses from my chick for Christmas. 150 pairs in blue, orange, and green. Email me if you want any stickers or a pair of glasses.

Played some Funhouse at Jackalope after work today and upped all the board scores. I had all the high scores until last night my boss got #4. Took that from him tonight and upped the Grand Champ score a little higher also.
Went on a day trip to Dallas last week to go to an art show and found some pins.
Found Nascar and Elvis in great condition at Single Wide bar. Found broken Monopoly and great condition Spiderman at Billiard Bar. Also found a broken Charlies Angels at Barcadia. I think I managed to get replay on every round I played all day/night.

New photo update on Wizard of Oz was emailed out from Jersey Jack. It is the playfield with the color inserts shown. More pics coming soon I hope.
Found this photo today also from www.Pinballhead.com. They shopped all of the previous images together to create what the table should look like.
Had someone point out that my list of games in town was messed up. Should be fixed now.

It is still a few months away but the Texas Pinball Festival is coming up. The festival is in Grapevine, TX at the Hilton and the website says they have 225 pinball machines this year. Checked out the website and saw that George Gomez (Monster Bash, Revenge from Mars, Corvette, Lord of the Rings, Transformers) will be speaking this year. Check out the website because you can pre-register for the show already and the Hilton is already taking discounted reservations for show goers.
