If you're talking modern Stern then there would be additional licenses to deal with. Almost every table they've released in the last 15 or so years has had some known IP attached... The only one I can think of that didn't was Black Knight: Sword of Rage.
Felt like a long wait to me. That's probably because I hadn't been to any Expo or Event like this since last year. I would have gone to the Video Game Summit in April or May, but that merged with this Expo.
@crow continuum, I am the creator of "The Dumpster Fire" virtual pin you highlighted in your video, as well as the rest of my "The Dumpster Gamez" that surround it on what I called "The Dumpster Gamez Island." This project is where I take tossed-out or discarded electronics, wood or whatever and make an arcade game out of as many recycled materials as possible. In the video, you speculated I used a Stern Cab to build this, while the backbox is based on a Stern cabinet, this is actually built from scaffolding wood I got from a Portelos Construction site after they were finishing up. The paint came from a local recycling center, the monitors I found and repaired it, in the video there was an issue with the playfield monitor, and even the art was printed on a laser printer someone was throwing away.
I went back and watched the whole walk-through. That Golden Tee was also mine, it was custom because it ran off a Jacks Pacific Plug and Play, wired with real arcade trackballs and buttons. The Flairrcade PinPood was a part of my set for The Dumpster Gamez Island, it was a The Pinball Brothers box i got 2 years ago at expo and was just set dressing.
I really needed to take a closer look at these things. Turning a plug 'n play into a full sized arcade machine is not something I would have expected to see.
As technology moves on, so do the pinball standards. They when from simple lights that lit up your score on the back box, to score reels, to numeric displays, then alphanumeric, to DMDs, and now since they are small and cheap enough, monitor displays. I think DMDs had their day, but if it was still standard in 2024, I think a lot of people would wonder why.
Next year I need to spend more time in the Homebrew section and play as many of those machines as I can. In hindsight, I don't know why I didn't spend more time in there.
Great to finally meet you. 👍
You as well!
Hello, I watched as many videos of this conference as possible, yours was the best. thank you.
Thanks. With how disjointed all the footage I had was. It was amazing I was able to put together something that made sense.
It would be great if Zen could get the Stern license. I would love to see some of those tables come to Pinball FX. Thanks for the video, Crow.

You did an awesome job with this video Crow. This was exactly the kind of video that I was hoping to see somewhere. Thank you so much
Thanks! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but seems like it turned out ok.
Great vid again Crow, can't believe it's been a year already.

Lol... that's fantastic. In hindsight I should have spent more time in the Homebrew area. I'm going to have to do that next year.

Hercules - Hercules! 👏🏽 Crow grammar gotta love it!!
The arcades in back were Sterling Adams. His booth had the beat the clock and no good gofers in it
The lcd screens instead of DMD's break my pinball heart.

@@CrowContinuum True true, but low res animation in a few tints of red is magical to me personally (blinded by nostalgia ofcourse :D )
I had no idea that plushy was a tilt bob😁 shows how much i know about real pinball tables.
I could see a lot of people not knowing what it was. It's the only character of a pinball part that's not visible to anyone while the game is in play.
so jealous for you, buddy!
Hope you get a chance to play Borderlands Pinball next time! :)
