Here is a short update on the progress with my 1979 Bally Paragon pinball machine with custom rules and sound. The game is close to being complete. Take a look!
I’m now at the point where I’m getting various feedback from players about the content. Most people like it, but some seem to think the music is a little too “mellow” given the theme? I can see that. I wanted to do something a little more stylized and different. You’d probably expect some kind of dramatic orchestral score with the game, and not a kind of funky prog-rock type of music. So I’m torn on whether I should keep it or change it? I’m going to talk with the artist and see if he has any ideas — maybe we might record something specific for the machine? I don’t know, but I do like the idea of using a real band that we’ve actually recorded – so every sound in the game was completely created. Let me know what you think?
I love the smooth jazz background music. Along with the gameplay, those two elements provide a nice blend of relaxation and excitement. I like to play as a form of meditation, so I don’t like too much gratuitous stimulation such as seizure-inducing bright flashing LEDs. So, thanks for the balance!
Hello,

Are you selling this? Would love to get one for my paragon.
Stay tuned for announcements regarding availability – still working on audio package.
Love all the things you are doing, modding and such. You are my people!

Very interested. I’m Eric Manuel, who has “The Star Trek Experience” STTNG modded pin, and also “The Xenon Pinball Experience” machine
