Lots of folks out on the floor, checking and repairing machines. On the flip side – there weren’t a lot of places to send the ball either – so it made for an interesting game. And interestingly not that many ways to lose a ball. But this one actually kept my interest and attention. I’m not much of a fan for “older” games (unless they were ones I actually played as a kid). I played briefly, but the machine kept auto-firing balls non-stop. Later on, I passed by and it was working again… but working too well. It was, unfortunately, broken when we walked up to it. In the main Game Hall, a two player pinball version of Joust. It was a dangerous shot to attempt, as there almost seemed to be a kickback that returned the ball to you super fast – and nearly always resulted in you losing the ball. We tried a few times to get this thing activated, to no avail. You could actually play as one of many houses (although House Targaryen was in the game, it was not a selectable option).Ī closeup of the dragon. And the money would go to a charity called Project Pinball.ĭetailed view. Folks could play this particular machine for $1 per game ahead of time (and ahead of the lines).

But that wouldn’t be open for a few more hours yet. This game would be showcased at the Vendor Hall (and playable for free).

The $25 tickets were good for one day, and expired at 6AM.Ī series of games, set up for an on-going tournament that lasted throughout the many days of the event.Ĭhris and I got to try out one of the new games at the Expo: a Game of Thrones machine. So if you felt like playing at 3AM… you could. And get this: it remains open until Sunday morning. The Game Hall was closed off for the morning’s tournament, but opened on Friday at 1PM. Each machine is set on “Free Play,” so no money is needed. The Game Hall is essentially an old school arcade, filled with pinball machines. The Vendor Hall was where people brought things to share/sell, and where companies brought in new games for people to try out. So we opted to stick aroudn, heading over to a nearby Superdawg for lunch.īack at the Expo! Tickets were $25 for admission to the Game Hall and Vendor Hall. There was a bit of debate, as to whether we should swing over to Pinball Life (which was having its own special event this weekend)… but the 45 minute trek (one way) dissuaded us. On meeting up, we immediately headed out for some food. Chris and already been there for some time (since 7AM), participating in a group tournament… but I didn’t arrive until around 1PM. I tried installing Pinbox to a 32G flashdrive instead of an HDD, is was slow as shit.On Friday, I took off of work and met Chris at the Chicago Pinball Expo – way up in Wheeling. But again, the sound is not a priority as I want to use an OEM computer, but if this Pinbox thingy works, it' be a good backup. For now im using the speakers in the LCD monitor for testing purposes. I will need a 2.1ch amp to get good sound with this setup, but I need to adapt the amp output to the 6-pin connector in the cab harness. I dont think ive ever seen a MB with an amp built in. This MB has multiple audio outs, but all are line-level. Your running on Linux? If I convert my PK2000 this way I'll probably use SSD rather than SATA drive.

I'm going to install virtualbox on my PC and try pinbox with linux or xp. I wonder if anybody's ever gotten this to work in that manner. What's really cool is Linux can be booted from a flash drive. Most computer motherboards only have sound output for headphone or speaker jacks. Yeah, never thought about hooking the sound up this way.
