Oh but who cares how noisy when you are playing it?  There is a pinball arcade near me and I have played this one.  I hate that I could barely hear the music from the game due to all of the noise from the rest of the gameroom...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-14-2022

Oh man that's cool. One of the big things that would seriously keep me from getting a pinball machine would be the anticipated maintenance...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-16-2022

Another YouTube channel that I occasionally watch is Joe's Classic Video Games.  The dude is always posting some new video about a classic arcade game or pinball machine that he's fixing or restoring...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-16-2022

I'll have to check that guy out. In the meantime, I guess this'll hafta do...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-17-2022

I never really got into video pinball games, but Microsoft Pinball Arcade seems to have the decent graphics and action that would make it close to realistic...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-17-2022

I wouldn't trust Microsoft to make a pinball machine...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-19-2022

Ok, I laughed.  You won that exchange.  But I know it's kinda sad but true....


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-19-2022

I hate it when the universe breaks...
(better with sound when dividing by zero)


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-20-2022

I agree, I don't think I could deal with multiple answers for the same problem....


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-20-2022

Same here. Up spin, down spin, entanglement, quantum jumps. I would hate having to try and debug that...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-23-2022

Maybe you just need to think of it like a Magic 8-Ball.  Ask the question and you could get any number of answers, all of which are relevant...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-23-2022

Wait, I'm already using the Magic 8-ball to help debug. I hope quantum computing becomes mainstream soon so I can consider myself a classical software developer...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-24-2022

I think you can probably call yourself a legacy developer anyway.  But holy crap, did you know that they released the Action! source code???


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Blaze - 05-25-2022

Holy crap I did not know that. I'm an ancient programmer now. I had my night all planned out, but now this changes everything. I'll let you know how it turns out...


RE: Uncle DT's Random Image Thread - Kruger - 05-25-2022

SpartaDos was years ahead of its time.  It's pretty amazing that they were able to get all of that functionality into a DOS that fit in (a lot) less than 640K.  But I remember Mac/65 being shipped on floppy and included with that Trak drive.  I don't recall which DOS was shipped with that drive, but I know it wasn't Atari DOS...
