Rampage World Tour is a silly, mindless game and I love it

Yesterday I bought the “Rayz’ Arcade Chronology”, on Switch, as it was on sale. Here is the first game of the collection: RayForce, a 2D vertical Shoot’Em Up from 1994 by Taito.
I never played it before, but it’s really great. There are a ton of neat graphics tricks. Sprite rotations, zooms and even per column scrolling.
And the gameplay is superb, with its locking missiles system

My one day best on Guardians of the Galaxy #pinball, #design by John Borg for Stern, 2017.

A close variation of the 2 flipper 2 ramp standard like Borg's earlier decks "Metallica" or "Iron Man" and I'm not sure which deck incorporates its theme better, unless we're including Metallica Remastered and then it's not even close.

I'm not a huge fan of this game, even though by most any standards, it's just fine.

This deck is great. So many surprises, yet not cluttered feeling. Similar in style to Labyrinth.
It rewards for Slam n' Bam as well as slowing down and picking shots.

If you really must know, I'm like the David Copperfield of getting the #pinball stuck where it was never meant to go...

I guess I also found a reason why not every table should have blade lights installed.

Have you ever seen pins on a cruise ship? For as long as I remember, the huge cruise ships in the Nordic area used to have really good arcades onboard. Always the latest vids and pins and naturally a full selection of gambling machines.

A lot of people go, "wait, isn't it impossible to play with the ship rocking and stuff?" and the answer is no, the ships are so big and well stabilised the sea is really not an issue, but the games were still bolted onto the deck!

But with often rowdy audience, the games had some noticeable mods done to them. The coin door had a beefy steel plate with more reinforcements inside.

They also had a credit board they used on simpler games to set the game price. I guess they just had those in every game.

The playfield usually plastic upper trim was now stainless steel and the bottom speaker had a protector on it too.

They had a keyed power switch so they could be turned off if the ship docked somewhere the operator couldn't legally do business in.

Never even seen a cocktail #qbert before! #arcade

At an #arcade in #renton !

I finally got to play the new Evil Dead #pinball deck at my regular lunch spot. It rips. It rumbles. Not too cluttered, not too sparse.
Bruce has so many great call outs. Corwin Emery has designed a new widebody classic. Theme integration is perfection.

If you see it, play it. You won't do well against it, but it'll still make you smile
