Demo of Custom Paragon with all new Sound/Rules

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?

  1. 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!
