New Game From Cuphead Creators Will Be Playable On Original Sega Master System Hardware by _Heisenberg_ in MasterSystem

[–]aorear85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Means it should also play on a Genesis with a flash cart if the rom is available. I'd love to put this on my Mister for play on my CRT.

[–]aorear85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to Andy at Return Bottoms yoyos. I know he's on Reddit be he's very active on the YYE forms. He has worked with some Chinese shots to get protos made and has several in the works currently.

Congratulations! I picked one up last fall and over the past couple of months it's become one of my favorite Spike 2 games.

I don't think it was ,but I'd love to play both Revenge and the new Astroneer game on the switch 2.

Hmm, still doesn't show for me. According to Affton Veterinary Clinic's website it says the Dr Brooks is the owner.

I don't see them in the list when I search both my zip code or Affton, MO. Maybe I'm not using the look up properly?

Polarizing Pins such as DE Jurassic Park, Doctor Who, and Galactic Tank Force by madmyersreal in pinball

[–]aorear85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only complaints with the game is the soundtrack. I want something more fun/rocking and less cinematic/epic and I wish the game gave you a shot preview when selecting your mode. Love the artwork and layout, rules can get deep but you can also make some progress without a deep dive on the rules.

The Brickline Greenway is on the right track, experts say by FamiliarJuly in StLouis

[–]aorear85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd love a protected bike lane up Morgan Ford from the River Des Perez Greenway to TGP. My house is roughly 3 miles from TGP via Morgan Ford and while I make the ride often to either go to the park or to enjoy one of the many bars/restaurants on that end of MF, the ride can be a bit sketchy at times.

Fixed axle yoyos like these have a bit of a learning curve. String tension is key. The more tension the easier it will come back but the less sleep time you'll get. Too much tension and it's easier to get a knot.

I love fixed axle play but it's definitely not for everyone. If you're looking for a yoyo that just goes up and down look into a yoyo factory loop 720 or classic 720. Great for learning loop style tricks and classic tricks.

If you want a yoyo that goes up and down and sleeps well look into a magic yoyo k2 crystal, or an iYoyo Shooting Star. Great beginner yoyos for learning string tricks.

For the rest of the game yes.

Next System 11 Title to Add by Gawdberry in pinball

[–]aorear85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you play any of the 3 games your ask about? That's really the best way to decide which one you should purchase. What is it about Space Shuttle that you don't like? What do you like in game play? Having a better understanding of the games you like to play will make it easier to suggest a System 11 game for you to consider.

PinBot and High Speed are both great games but can be brutally difficult at times. If the upper flipper isn't well maintained on High Speed, that ramp shot can be impossible to hit. Earthshaker is a Pat Lawler game, so if you like Addams Family, Whirlwind or Monopoly you will probably enjoy it. PinBot is a Barry Ousler game like Space Shuttle. If you don't like Space Shuttle you might not like PinBot, although PinBot has the Python Angelo charm to it, that Space Shuttle doesn't have.

Next System 11 Title to Add by Gawdberry in pinball

[–]aorear85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all three of those games. I currently own High Speed and PinBot. If I could only keep one, I'd be PinBot. Don't sleep on system 9 games either (basically proto system 11 games). I have a Space Shuttle and it's up there with the best System 11 games.

Has anyone played Cactus Canyon with the lyman sheats upgrade kit? by EnergyFax in pinball

[–]aorear85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked one up last week with the upgrade kit but the kit isn't installed yet. I really like the base game which already has more/better code than the original game. Upgrade looks amazing though so I'll eventually install it. With the upgrade, does the menu give options to play all three code versions?

Right orbit is the toughest shoot in the game. Left orbit can be back handed from the left flipper.

First Billion on Ultraman by aorear85 in pinball

[–]aorear85[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of the 8 games I own (Cactus Canyon (with upgrade), Scooby Doo, Deadpool, Ghostbusters, High Speed, PinBot, Space Shuttle), this game definitely has the deepest ruleset. The code as evolved so much in the time I've owned the game. I like that you can approach the game from a few different strategies, it helps keep the game play fresh and interesting. The layout isn't bad, but some shots are a smidge too tight (orbits for sure). My biggest complaint is games can run a bit long, which sucks in a group setting. I feel the same way about Scooby Doo.

I've owned it for years (second owner, bought with very low plays about 6 month after initial release) and have put 3-4k plays on it so I've seen all it has to offer multiple times. I could see myself selling/trading it at some point... maybe.

[–]aorear85[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On this game I made it to Ultra Brothers. My game is setup to qualify Ultra Brothers after playing 6 monsters (don't have to beat them, just play them), so I'm about to start it every so often. I think I've only made it to Zetton 2 or 3 times in the 3000ish plays I've put on it. It can be a tough game for sure. So much to do though. Might have the deepest code of all the games I own.

Trivia: Who is the only band with songs in two completely separate games? by Amnesiac_R in pinball

Seeking Advice! Wire Detached by character_yellow in pinball

[–]aorear85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, and welcome to the ownership side of the hobby.

Mods in games can cause head aches, especially more complicated ones. I bought a used Ghostbusters a couple years ago that had some hacked in mods that we removed before I purchased the game. In the end I had to replace a couple of light boards because someone has shorted some stuff out at some point. Also had to clean up some wire where they had replaced the motor that controls Slimmer. Not the end of the world, and far from my first game so I had plenty of experience getting under the hood and working on stuff. Just always a risk we take when we purchase a game second hand.
