If this isn't the most terrifying theme of them all, I don't know what is.

I.e. Punchy the Clown (Alvin G., 1993):

Lord help me if I was to own that machine in real life. Pretty sure I'd be both attracted and repelled at the same time. Like, at least in Bart's case, he simply wanted out!

This looks pretty terrifying also

Lol, interesting timing with April Fool's coming up soon.

Stern actually rolled with that joke a few years back, probably making a few people spit out their morning coffee.

Seems My Little Pony pinball never got up either...

I will no comment on MLP, I will not comment on MLP, I will not comment on MLP :D

Regarding the other pinball machines, clowns.. why to they have to make mouths looking like they'll eat this world and the next one in one bite? I never liked clowns... then again I never liked going to the circus either. would still play it if it was a good experience but having to look at that face makes my eyes melt.

Hello Kitty.. no. Just no. It's just one of those passionate hates we all have for one thing or another that's all.

In terms of a gonzo theme, I'd love to play a Coneheads table. That's a classic series of recurring SNL skits, and a pretty funny 90's movie. But I'm not sure how many people around the world are familiar with them, anymore.

I did try searching around, but it doesn't look like any pin sim hobbyists has ever made a table dedicated to them.

YT also has a lot of great clips from the movie. The fourth one down here (at the dentist's with Jon Lovitz) is particularly insane:

Well, I'm one that does remember the show. If you hadn't mention it though, I would not have recalled it! Can't really say it's a Total Recall (tm) though -It is also a table that needs an update by the way :nudge: :nudge: : say no more: (tm)

Hmm, if I'm understanding the IPDB entry, the prototype actually functions!

Maybe one day someone can at least get proper PF pics and dump the ROM, or at least transcribe the rules. Even just a one-player version of the table would probably be fun, not unlike a JPSalas project.

 

[AnonTet]

Well, I was talking about the FP version and found that there was a real one :D

The FP version was last updated in 2019 (just checked). Not that old as I though initially but I still think it needs an update anyway. Been a while since I've played it.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

Oh, okay. So it's an original, unrelated to the Data East game.

I'll have to check that out.

 

[AnonTet]

Unfortunately the only thing in common is the name but hey, we both learned something toady :)

@AnonTet
@Ike Savage
are you talking about my original version?

 

[AnonTet]

Yeah you're in it :)

 

[Paolo]

Yeah you're in it

I built it, let's say it is my table .... the other guys help me with the code, custon physics and with the video clips.(again thanks guys)
in this table I spent a lot of time, following the models, especially arnold, the pyramid mount, the dome with the mechanism, the brubaker head that opens for the multiball ... and more, try to enter venusville

Total recall

many of my tables, are not updated to bam .... this is one of them, but I hope to update both this and the others .... time to time
strange that you did not understand that it was mine ..... yet the description seems clear....anyway thanks for playing it.

 

[AnonTet]

Of course I played it. It is an awesome table! I still remember the first time the table started shaking for some reason I can recall now because it was unexpected and was really cool. But damn it was hard. Maybe that's why I think it may be in need of an update because some drop targets were o9nly hit by luck.. I think it was one or two drop targets... like I said, been a while.

And apologies for not noticing it was you. It was a long time ago and earlier I really only went for the year only and totally overlooked authors.

But it is that table alright :)

No Joke @Ike Savage I was literally going to mention Punchy The Clown because I just discovered this table today.
This has got to be the coolest table ever. I am a big fan of the carnival/clown themes in pinball tables!

156 matches on the IPDB. :D

I'm not sure any of them are quite as wild as Punchy, though!

Btw, I sure wouldn't mind playing this one one day. Unfortunately, looks like there's only two units.

 

[vladaymir]

@Ike Savage I saw that one a while back and someone said they have one at the Pinball Museum in Las Vegas!

 

[StevOz]

Whilst we are all clowning around, I've got to throw in a vote for Jack In The Box, one of the finest EM tables ever. Recall having a blast playing this when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.

Look at that back glass just gorgeous!

Just tried the Loserman & crew VPX version. IMO those pop bumper outlanes are super-clever, in that there's a lot of interesting ways the ball can either drain or be saved! Reminds me a good bit of Pinman's unusual approach to layouts.

Btw, for some reason after I loaded the Loserman table, I lost my floating options window in VPX. Any idea how to restore that?

And while this is still kinda low-res, I found a version of the backglass where the girls have switched to bikini tops.
