Title: World's Ugliest DEMOLITION MAN
Post by: smartbomb2084 on August 04, 2012, 08:20:43 pm

Check out this abomination... been working on its corroded ass for awhile... This coming from a guy who as

the Low End Pin Man put it:  "eschews the LED generally"...

Funny you should say that ..I seem to remember this little BS quote from you about this game.

The flow on Demolition Man is amazing, I've never played another game like it.  Very little clunk factor on it.

Hmmm... So which statement is the truth?

Regular white LEDs never work for GI.  Makes everything blue.  It looks worse in photos than in person, though, so that probably isn't quite as bad as he says.

Didn't you hear?  LEP man bought a dmd pin and lost all his indie cred overnight. 

That is a little harsh looking in the pics.  Bummer to get so many LED's if you don't like the look.  It would be interesting to play with though- can you put color condoms on the insert lamps?  Can you just put them on GI or just inserts and use incandescents elsewhere?

At the very least replace the GI with Warm White or back to incandescent 47s.  Blue GI is awful.

dunno, not minding it so much myself. it does turn a rather old boring looking playfield into something that looks more modern like a stern transformers.

I always find it somewhat laughable, when the young guns think 'their time' is the best time.  Anything before that.. is garbage.

Funny... I always find it completely expected, but VERY laughable, when oldsters think "their time" is the best time.  Anything after that... is garbage.

Ok, it wasnt quite a fair statement.   Yes, there are a lot of stubborn & ignorant people from All time periods.

This is all I was trying to get across, and the rest of your explanation is irrelevant.  Maybe YOU are more objective in your old age, but on the whole, young and old are pretty much tied for 1st place in the "don't think anything outside of 'their time' is any good" department.
