Technical Area / Re: Space Invaders ...black light question?
« on: September 22, 2014, 11:26:29 AM »
Thanks ChrisChris for the hint with the 'white' blacklight.
We've just finished our work on the Datsun ZZZap 280 (Midway 8080-System) and discovered the same. Too faint lighting of the backdrop. We've got a (wrong) dark blue tube installed.

High Score - Are you the best ... around? / Re: Space Zap

Higher Scores maybe achieves by playing with two people. Remember the guys on Sunday. One was firing with two Hands on the Firebutton like HyperOlympics. The other one chose the direction.
Of Course, this behaviour could be considered 'hard cheating'  ;D

Luigi and myself just arrived safely after a five hour trip.
Many Thanks to the Eurocade-Crew for setting up this great event and to all the great people we met there and talked with.

André located another 'Bishi Bashi' Cab. It's on the Cab-list. Our Van could handle Cabs up to 1.60m height, so maybe Missile Command, TimePilot or an Zaccaria-Cab could be stored upright, we have to check this out.
The 'Discs of Tron' however is to high to fit in upright. So it tends to a max. of three Cabs (including DOT) or maybe five small ones without DOT.

I agree with Tyrem. Why start so big? Seems like riding a 'dead horse'. The concept drawings, the huge layout of the building, five(!) floors, everything looks way over the top and IMHO too ambitious.
Alas, as much as i wish to see it happen, this won't work.

The Cabs seems to be located 'under the roof'. So at least one down to 'floor' level.

555€ for a twin, 2K€ total is an insane bargain. Come on guys, get them....

Just read a joke in the pinball-forum:

German guy met dutch guy in drugstore. Dutch guy said: 'Hey, we'll play against Argentinia tomorrow'
German guy answers: 'How weird, we too on Sunday'  :D :D

Thanks guys for your greetings. I'm happy to be a member of this community. Hope to meet all of you at Eurocade 2014.
Luigi and myself are working hard on our present project (more space for our beauties). Alas we're way behind schedule, but it slowly takes shape. We'll open a new WIP-Thread on this soon.

Only one Button showed some 'wear'. The Microswitch couldn't handle the furious 'high-frequence-bashing' any more and has been replaced.
We could bring along the Bishi-Bashi and easily at least one Upright-Cab plus maybe a table or even the small Atari-Time-Pilot.

If its ok with Luigi, the 'Guided Missile'-Cab will do fine. Its a real beauty and features a molded, blacklighted Plastic-Landscape and a mirrored B/W-Image just like SpaceInvaders does.

Since FAO got more room, there are nearly 100+ Pins and maybe 40+ Arcade-Machines. So its definitely worth a visit.

How sad, that Blue Shark could have enhanced our Midway-8080-LineUp (Space Encounters, Space Invaders, Clowns and Guides Missile)....... :-\
