rocknroll41 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Last year they had it at the local hookah bar but it was out-of-order and gone within a few weeks or so. Never saw it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I played it last month in Vegas at the HOF, its a lot of fun to play. The gun for the shooter, a rose for the plunger on the front.still better than the much newer Metallica one, also there at the HOFThe Metallica machine is awesome. One of my favorite pinball machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSlash Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 At around 4:56 you hear "This is snakpit!" and it sounds like an early riff of Soma City Ward. I never caught that before.It came out July of 1994. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Played it back in the day and unsurprisingly loved it! Just had a (great) trip back in the memory lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've played it, about 15+ years ago. Our local arcade had one. I'm sure there is a rose on the part that is pulled to release the ball. I'm not a huge fan of pinball games, probably as I find them so unfair, when the ball rolls between the flippers. Probably the best pinball game i've played is one called Tommy.

I take it we can say 100% that was one of the "rejected" songs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yes I did!!! It was in 2007-2008 in a Hungarian suburban pub! I was with my -that time- girlfriend, and she had to play with it as well... It was real fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatashame Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) in order to play it , you need a Visual Pinball program (aka VPinball)- free downloadthen you download the GNR Pinball table from here :http://www.pinballnirvana.com/UpDownload-req-getit-lid-1545.htmlset it up and all, and you're free to playlooks like thisit sure is fun to playtested on Win XP in 2015and on Win7 in 2015setting it up was a little bit frustrating but all the info needed is provided in the readme file. It's mostly a matter of copying files into a correct folderand it comes with sound files that let you listen to all the sound from the game! but the files are *.snd, which are not played by VLC or winamp, so tough luckand if you DO manage to extract them - let me know how, I want it too Edited October 11, 2015 by whatashame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjacker Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've wondered this for a while, but was hesitant to start a thread:Newer "band" pinball machines, like the AC/DC or Metallica ones, have music that plays that is essentially the album tracks.The GNR machine though, as far as I can tell from watching stuff online, does not. The songs sound horrible. I'm assuming this is because the technology back then didn't allow for CD tracks to be built into a pinball machine?Has anyone ever tried to "upgrade" a GNR pin to play album tracks?I'm in the middle of doing just that to mine. (And yeah, the original sounds and music are super low-bitrate and generally horrible.)Late last year the PinSound sound board came out (www.pinsound.org) which lets you replace each sound (background music, sfx, voice callouts) individually.It's a process, because you end up playing a lot of games on the machine (OK, that part I don't mind) to record what/when/why each sound gets played, then a lot of time in Audition trimming/mixing clips, but it really makes an enormous difference in the experience.I'll see if I can post up a video of mine with the in-progress sound mix in the next couple of days. Still a lot of non-music effects to sort out but it's already so much better than stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjacker Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That is very, very cool, Blackjacker! Would love to see a vid, if you are able to do that.I imagine the amount of work involved would indeed, be great. So cool that you are doing this.Way late, but here's an in-progress video from a couple days ago. A horrible video, actually - with my iPhone balanced on the machine and the glass still on, so there's all kinds of glare. You really can't see much so thankfully this video's all about the audio.Most of the music is pretty much sorted out, except for Gilby and Duff modes (they share a music background track, and Gilby mode then runs the motorcycle noise on top of that - I'm still trying to sort the best way to handle those two modes.) SFX and callouts are a work in progress, but I'm definitely closer to being finished than being started.Getting proper, quality tracks in the machine TRANSFORMS the playing experience. It really is a different machine with the PinSound board installed.Video's at the bottom - it's kinda long (12 mins) so here's a cheat sheet to the major music/SFX points. Starts from power-off, so you can see/hear the PinSound boot process.0:20 boot.wav starts0:36 background civil war0:39 mode start - matt0:48 encore1:15 add band member1:24 tick tock1:30 mode start - slash1:39 kickback (car rev)2:21 coma is lit2:33 mode start - gilby3:11 add band member3:14 mode start - coma3:59 extra ball awarded4:24 add band member4:48 extra ball start4:54 mode start - snakepit5:06 add band member5:54 mode start - dizzy ramps6:28 mode start - duff7:06 mode start - axl 3 ball8:06 mystery8:14 mode start - riot9:57 add band member via trigger (no trigger sound)11:37 match sequence - new chick laugh and "oh dude" voice11:43 game over outro music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
