Total Nuclear Anhililation

Wow! Didn't realise there was a size difference. I was expecting it to be the standard build. Interesting!
 
@Neil McRae Will it be taking a brief 'holiday' to FlipOut as previously suggested? Very keen to have a go and see what all the hype is about.
 
Good job getting these in the UK chaps! Really want to get in on it but so much other boring stuff going on right now :(

There's a location near me right now that has one so am going to head down there later to get my fix.
 
Had a blast playing both TNA's last night. Big thanks to @philpalmer and also Lee for an absolutely brilliant nights pinball and chat.

So, having followed my friend Scotts progress with TNA over the last few years and helped out on a couple of things during the prototype stage, i was eager to play it and see the end result and i was seriously impressed by it. Never even thought about ramps, infact as soon as i pressed start and that bass kicked in, i pretty much forgot about every other pinball :)

Had a lot of fun playing it both solo and with friends. Myself, @chris b and @Chris had a lot of fun stealing each others locked balls, aswell as nailing the 'quick lock' shot :)

I think the game is truly brilliant and something that adds a lot of variety to the games room. If you have the chance to check out the one at tilt soon, or Neil's then i really would do so, you won't be disappointed.

A couple of pics you may not have seen. The backless is screen printed, a nice touch and the sub chamber has some tuned bass ports to aswell as a wooden enclosure. Details that often get costed out

Also a pic of the power supply section. 2 std switched mode supplies, 1 48VDC and 1 12v/5v DC. 1 48vDC filter board and a 5v/12v dc distro board. Pretty neat and today solution for a modern pinball design.

So, what was the general consensus from those who played it last night? I'm looking for reasons not to want it so I can stop thinking about it :confused:. I suppose time will tell whether it has enough about it to be a 'keeper', or if it is going to get old quickly.
 
After playing for around an hour I do like it but I think I could spend my money on better games it was in a top end collection of games last night and most people played and liked it but you soon saw people drifting off to play other games it certainly has novelty factor but no real depth and I would think you would be bored quickly it’s one you really need to play to make up your mind it will soon be in tilt for public play
 
I bet Gary Stern is eyeing this up and thinking he can cut some costs by making machines 20% smaller and 20% more expensive.

For me I think it has plenty of legs. To destroy 9 reactors is going to take 1 mega game of serious skill. As I play it more I find more and more depth. Lots of multi level items not just basic rules

I also enjoy a wide collection of games. Different eras, types, makes, sizes. If you like this type of thing you then I believe this game would fit nicely in. If you like a line of modern sterns then maybe not or if you only have space for 1

Best thing though is go play it and decide for yourself. Simple
 
Interesting stuff... was miffed not to get over to play it last night but had prior commitments. Heard good reports so far anyway.

Any lack of depth suits me as never remember complex rules, it looks and sounds great and the cab size.... well would suit me and my height too ! Would just need to sit it next to something similar sized. :D

Hopefully get to play it soon so can stop mulling... and decide whether or not a small cull is worth it.
