CathalDublin

White Water looks awesome, never played before.

Los Lobos

Well that was good craic, would have liked to hang on longer. Well laid out, would be great to do it regularly dave.
Next time I'm leaving the kid at home! Nice to meet you Cathaldublin too, enjoy the c64!

Thanks for coming lads.
I'm absolutely bollixed!
Sorry to mozie and Cathal I forgot your pcbs. I had a million thing to remember! I'll get them to you soon.
Massive thanks to Jack burton who helped me move 4 pins after the tournament.

Optimus Prime

Thanks a lot, really enjoyed playing the pins. heres a couple of photos, think ill leave the kids at home the next time too!

Jack burton

Great fun today, didnt know a few of the lads off here were there.

Great pics!
I forgot to take some.
We had 22 entries and I'd say about 35 there over the day. I'll post up a link when the results go online.

CathalDublin

Yea was good craic, love Getaway and Whitewater, two brilliant games which I'd love to play more of, sadly I couldn't hang around long with the new arrival but will be more prepared for the next one and will try bring a machine.
Your DK cab is awesome too, great to play with an actual 4way stick, playing on my cab is quite challenging with the 8way.
Cheers for the C64 Los Lobos, now to source a couple of joysticks and a power supply, although I've seen quite a few guides to build a PSU online, more the joysticks I need to source.

Los Lobos

Only took three bad quality phone pics myself:

CiDeRmAn

That looks fantastic, hopefully I'll make it to the next one though I know precious little about the game and technique.
Any suggestions about what console games provide the best practice?

Star Lord

Dunno how accurately they are, but Zen Pinball 2 (I have it on the Wii U, it's available on many different platforms) seems pretty good. The Southpark tables and the Walking Dead tables are fantastic on it.

Learning the rules for each game is a big thing but I find as soon as you step up for your league go that can go out the window!
Pinball arcade is the best but its a total rip off.(its on PC tho........)

Los Lobos

Tell me about it, 49 mill on getaway 2 in practise, 21 mill when the comp started!

Got 5 mill on Waterway, then watched one of the kids there get 6 mill on his first ball!!

Great fun though! Also great for all the kids to experience so many pins

CiDeRmAn

I have Pinball Hall of Fame; Williams Collection for the PS3, I'll get some time on it before the next big meet!

Another pic
