Hey folks, you KNOW you want the hook-up. Right now, two places where
you can scope 'em:

Ken at pinball rebel is kind enough to host medium and high res
versions. Head on over to
http://www.pinballrebel.com/game/pins/nascar/nascar_pinball.htm .
Check out the swank!

Medium-res versions (along with some pictures of my company's NASCAR
vehicle) also available on the Chicago Pinball Mafia's web site:
http://www.pinballmafia.net/ (click on pictures... you'll figure it
out.)


Once Martin gets off work, they'll also be up on pinball news (
http://www.pinballnews.com/ ).

And finally, sometime later this week, the bulk upload to the IPDB, of
course.


Discuss amongst yourselves. You know you're going to anyway. ;)

[And, of course, thanks to Ken & Martin & Chris!]

Cool...

Where is (or was) the test location?

Is the pin still there?

All the pictures in both medium and high resolution along with the
movies are now at http://www.pinballnews.com/games/nascar/index.html
together with the Pat Lawlor interview and the Stern press releases
about the game and its Grand Prix variant.

A big thanks to Korn for all the pictures and movies.

Well if all of the location games get as much play as this pin looks
like it has, I would think it could be a very good earner? A bunch of
the rubber posts and flipper rubbers need replacing already. Hope it's
a great success. Have to go search for them reviews now.

Thanks,

Well now, this game is starting to look interesting... seems to be that PL
took what is normally a simple fan layout and found multiple ways to make it
incredibly complicated. :)

I do hope they get rid of the three exclamation points on "short track
racing!!!" for final artwork (stuff like that bugs me).

Hey Stern - your instruction sheet for NASCAR has a typo!

The word is "completing", not "completeing"!

(see pic
http://www.pinballrebel.com/game/pins/nascar/nascar2/photos/photo_38.html
under "multiball")

(May I suggest using a spell checker...?)

Looks like it's already broken. I doubt that having pinballs in contact
with the lamp diode leads is a design feechur!

Hey Korn -
The big question.... did you like the game? Give it simple ratings
(IYHO) from 1 to 10 on game play, sound package, rule set, and artwork.
Terry.

Yes, but not for a while. (at LEAST a week.) Have to put some more miles
on the game first. :)

I'm kind of wondering that myself. It has more of a solid feel to it than
a ball hitting off of hollow plastic, but doesn't have the rebound you'd
get off of, say, white rubber.

My working theory is that it's low-rebound rubber over steel.

Uh, yeah... Those were taken mainly for PLD's benefit, because we had
one hell of a ball trap back there! :)

What's supposed to happen is you send a ball up the truck hauler ramp,
whang one of the cars, the ball reverses direction down the ramp, hits
the one way gate (that's NOT a ramp switch gate!), then goes over to the
left (behind the sign) into pit road and then drops into the lock area.

(simple, eh? :) )

The problem happens when you send TWO balls up the truck hauler at the
same time, both whang off of a car, and both reverse down the ramp.
Balls exiting from the ramp stage left tend to go backwards UP the
playfield for just a bit when being dropped into Pit Road. So what
happens is the first ball drops into Pit Road, goes UP the playfield a
bit, then the second ball drops on top of it and gets wedged in between
the first ball and the light on the sign. Since the walls are high metal
(we're next to the outer track and a ramp here...), there's absolutely no
way to clear this jam except by either turning the game over or removing
the glass.

At that point, we power cycled the game to dump the two that were in Pit
Road. Pretty quickly we had to abandon the game, 'cuz (remember, this is
EARLY SOFTWARE we're talking about!) the game reset on us when it saw
that we had started a multiball mode that the game didn't have enough
balls "installed" to give us. :)

-----

FWIW, I sent that picture over to PLD a couple of days ago. Pat
responded that a change is going to be made to production units to put
some sort of post at the top of Pit Road to prevent this from happening.
So hopefully this is a prototype-only ball trap problem.

Mmmmm, I wouldn't read too much into that. Would you shop out a machine
after you've been looking at it/playtesting it for months on end on the
factory floor? :)

from the close ups it looks like one of those stress-toys that are

Ah! I see.

When I worked at Harveys in Lake Tahoe, we were a test location for IGT.
The engineers would come in and talk with us about any problems we were
having with their new games. I remember the first "S" slots had a weak
and sticky coin diverter cam that we helped them re-design. It's cool to
be involved at that level of the process, where the rubber meets the road.

Korn - Thanks for all the great pics & info as usual. I'm assuming you
received a green light from Lawlor to post these pics, especially
knowing how he is prior to a games release.

It's also great that this game is getting some nice play testing - If I
recall correctly LOTR did not have the benefit of play testing, and the
result was that more "stuff" came up than usual upon release.

Thanks again!
