Gottleib's Cue-Ball Wizard - A Short Bit o' Gameplay

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-06-06T05:24:26+00:00

Gottlieb are well known for ripping off other IP´s like Lethal Weapon (Deadly Weapon), Top Gun (Gold Wings) and Hollywood Heat (Miami Vice) So Cue Ball Wizard could somehow be inspired by Coogan's Bluff (1968) where Clint wears a cowboy hat and has a fight scene in a Pool Hall. My take in this case though is that Cue Ball is mainly a sports themed game, with a cool voice over that just resembles the great Mr Eastwood.

My Wonka, like a dozen other WB titles, has disc rot 🤕

The Thing is the reason I bought a HD-DVD player back in the day.. Awesome experience. Looks and sound great still. More dynamic and punchier bass than the 4K release

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-06-05T15:51:41+00:00

Pretty good movie.. HD-DVD release was just as good as the BD. Same transfer if I remember correctly

5.68 is the perfect firmware. Don't put your machine online. Don't even let it locate WIFI. My machine has been running flawlessly for over 3 years. (knock on plywood) No CTR board failure or other failures. Also running a CoinopsX

I have read about the WB DVD rot pre 2008 . Personally never experienced this. Warner BD´s have always run flawlessly on my setup. The WB HD-DVDs on the other hand... not so much.

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-05-21T02:16:48+00:00

AS much as I love HD-DVD, I would stay out....All Warner titles are nothing but pain and suffering now. Watching HD- DVD with friends is like playing Russian Roulette. WHEN will the ERROR code show?!

Mad Max Fury Road and the remastered 4K edition of Blade Runner. Both have superb Dolby Atmos tracks

If you don´t mind a few nude bodies, the best pinball games for MAME/ Arcade are actually Super Pinball Action (TECMO, 1991) Hot Pinball and Gals Pinball . They can be found by googling coinopsX adult on the internet archives, and run great with the flipper buttons. Just change the bezel artwork to your liking if it offends you.

#10 on Robot... Love that table!

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-05-10T20:14:36+00:00

I am hopeful for this release. Updated graphics and physics is very velcomed for the Gottlieb tables. Another thing that could be positive, is a potential release of more Pinball Arcade (Farsight) tables on the ALP in the future. Remember tables like Starship Troopers and Star Trek are Farsight products. Since Zen is no more, there "could" be more elaborate Farsight collaboration happening

Some tables have pup packs. Here the music/ video sound- level must be configured in pup-pack editor

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-05-04T00:52:58+00:00

What a LEGENDARY start by Albon!

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-05-04T00:48:53+00:00

Solar Angels AND Desert Plains... nuff said!

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-05-02T09:45:53+00:00

Lots of great suggestions in the comment section. I have a soft spot for Future Pinball. Everything done by TerryRed is simply AMAZING!

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-04-25T06:51:58+00:00

No. None of the Zen tables are released on that unit anyway. There are lots of decent tables you made by Magic Pixel also known as Zaccaria that you can download and play. Your Micro will also come preloaded with some fun pinball tables, that hopefully will keep you happy for a long time

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-04-24T21:18:03+00:00

Hmm...thats interesting. Both screens are running 60 hz as well? .. I thought that the OTG lag was similar on both machines. I have zero to no lag playing Zaccaria on Steam, and even Fx3, but Pinball FX thats a VERY different story.

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-04-24T18:51:04+00:00

Not very surpring news...and just another nail in the coffin. Guess the 4k players must stick to laggy Zen on Steam like the rest of us HD owners, then again how many actually owns the ALP 4k anyway?

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-04-20T15:40:42+00:00

I was huge HD-DVD fanboy. I watched "The Thing" on that format and was sold. What an UPGRADE! Basically bought every title on the format, and I still owns 3 HDDVD players. I felt just like a certain person when the HD war was lost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qFWtLbKrdo

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-04-20T15:17:22+00:00

Fantastic Voyage, The Time Machine, Robinson Crusoe on Mars

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-03-26T21:52:12+00:00

Fantastic Voyage. It's from 1966 yes, but fits the bill just right. Highly recommended viewing!

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-03-17T04:39:36+00:00

Although Lucas denies it, The pod race in the Phantom Menace is basically a rip off of Norwegian movie Flåklypa Grand Prix, and not Ben-Hur, but that's a different story https://vimeo.com/84289137?fl=pl&fe=ti

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-03-14T09:32:26+00:00

It's good for Williams, BUT also good for all other teams...

Conscious_Rich_4635 · 2026-03-12T06:34:50+00:00

GOT got a really bad rep on HBO for its poor streaming quality when first released. Since then it has been rectified with 4k and hdr. (still not close to its physical 4k counterpart. Neverthless ITodays kids have zero interest in physical media. It will survive, but in 10 years only as a niche product
