just google "canvas print" and you should be able to find some printstudio nearby that will do the job for you

I think I read somewhere that a handful of the older Cave game, ra.de and ddp included are difficult to get the backgrounds from. If anyone has them I have access to a large scale printer for cheap.

Found this for a little over 2,000 yen on Yahoo! auctions. It would be great to have this complete but I'd rather spend the extra 18,000 on more games.

It's worth 2,000 yen, it ain't worth 20k. Is it really that high already? Seems to be going up every time I hear someone mention it. :idea:

Goddamn it system11, why are you wasting your money on shitty Stern pinballs? I'd most certainly have waited for Jersey Jack's Wizard of Oz table if I were you...though they might not ship to the UK?

Don't really like widebody machines, but Sopranos is cool - AFM with a better theme. I've actually got another Stern coming, would have been a photo tonight but the van hire place messed me around.

I can't shake metaphorical hands with a pinball machine where the table art is entirely composed of Photoshop gradient-heavy clip art. (Sopranos) I guess the mechanical exploding safe is cool though, but the table layout is just kinda thoughtless and screwy compared to a good 80s/90s table. The newer Stern tables like Avatar and Tron Legacy have only gotten worse.

My dad's office building used to have a Sopranos machine, and there's a nearby arcade with like a gazillion other pinballs, so I know what I'm talking about.

I tried out the Stern Tron Legacy pin at the 2011 CAX show. I thought it was cool. It does use the TL die-cast metal toys from Spin Master indeed as props.

Got a lot of new stuff with a high percentage of truly rare items, but the personal "crown jewel" of the recent stuff is the one below. Just won it this morning. I've had a loose copy for a while, but finally being able to get it CIB was quite satisfying.

More info on the game if you've never heard of it:

Sopranos has a nearly identical layout to Attack From Mars, one of the most revered 90s games. Not surprising as it's the same designer and he does rather enjoy recycling.

well, Super Potato in Ikebukuro had a copy CIB for 20,000. Of course that's at retail but it been a long time since I saw a complete copy pop up on the auctions

Majyuuouuou however you spell it is definitely not in that price ball park. It's many levels below that and not very rare CIB at all.

Reportedly Burnout PAL for the GameCube, unlike the PS2 original, outputs 60 Hz. Still have to confirm this as I don't have a DualShock(2)-to-GameCube adapter yet.

I disagree with the rarity, like most SFC stuff these days they're hardly growing on trees (I watched YHJ for a good long time to get one at a reasonable price.) The price has been climbing though, but not to 20k levels last I checked.

The only problem is with the game. It's got some nice stuff in it, but it's a bit half-baked on the whole. The monsters you transform into are a bit shit.

No photo yet, but today I picked up the penultimate machine in my 'change collection almost entirely' project. One of these:

It's not all set up to play, really in the middle of things, but:

House: Tron LE, Sopranos, Ripley's, Mystery Castle
Garage: Torpedo Alley, Big Hurt, Who Dunnit, Gold Wings, Black Rose

I haven't played a lot of the Stern pins, but if I was going to get one, I think I would have to go with Monopoly as my favorite. Of course, I have at lest 4 or 5 Williams tables I would get first.

20,000 for a SFC game is ridiculous and not worth it at all IMO but in general it seems like SFC games are starting to compete with Famicom games in terms of price and desirability. I recently saw a CIB copy of Ninja Warriors for 17,000 or so. Wild Guns CIB goes for around the same. For the longest time SFC games seemed like an afterthought compared to original Famicom games but now all of the suden, JPN gamers seem to actually give a shit about Nintendo's 16-bit cartridges.

I got this bad boy yesterday for $30. Finding double-chain bass pedal, let alone a single one, around here is difficulty.

Awesome to get the first game I played on my vertical New Net City. A big thank you to Akraten for turning me on to such a cool game. I love Milestone and their spirit. I sincerely hope they will continue to release great games.

wahoo! really enjoying bee storm, regardless of what people say. demon front positively rules. putting it in this thread because the red shockboxes aren't PCBs :lol:

a lovely LP. the sample channel on the arcade recordings seems a bit too interpolated compared to actual ingame audio but hey, the arrange side is good fun and having Chaos on a 12" is awesome.
