I've got the CD somewhere, but it is not on my short list of pinball games. I'll dig it up and take a second look.

My wife said the same thing. It was more like, "You've got to be crazy if you think...." Actually, I've got a much better place to put it, on the edge of a counter on the other side of the kitchen, but I didn't want to clean up the clutter before taking the shot.

I'd rather spend my effort (and money) on another cab. I'm the only one in the family that is really into music (Classic Rock and the occasional bit of Metal). I've got a very nice pair of Sennheiser headphones that let me rock out without disturbing the household.

I mentioned it to make sure you guys pressure me to get started on it. Stay tuned.
Thanks again for all the compliments and recommendations along the way.

If you can't find it, I've got a link to the demo in the media section on my website. If you like Pokemon pinball and the like, you'll probably like this one as well.

Awesome work! Your very detail oriented! What I like most about the cab is it's form factor. It not only doesn't overwhelm the countertop, it looks like you could take it with you.
I can't remember reading if that was a magstik or not, if it is a magstik - whats your thoughts?
I would reconsider your plans and do a jukebox next. I actually need to build another jukebox. It turns out mine is so popular - it's staying in the family room. So... I need to make one for the gameroom. Just a thought! Either way I look forward to reading about your next project.
NightGod:
How do you find it plays with it's lower weight? Any issues with the cab moving around alot, especially on a smooth surface like a counter-top?
