Silver Castle exploded onto the Dutch (and world) pinball scene a few months ago with the announcement that the company is to make a real version of the virtual pinball machine Timeshock!… Read more...
I gave them a poke on Facebook and I got a candid photo of some under playfield wiring as a response. They're extremely quiet but they're still going somehow. Really cool.
To say I've been worried about this series would be an understatement, given the poor run of luck the series has had lately - I can't even post on the Ultra Edition forums because my account was never approved by the admins.That's great, my poking normally just results in "we're working on it".

I would need a windfall to even consider buying a NIB but if Timeshock does make it out into being a real machine that would just be beautiful.
Sounds fair enough. They're not using anyone's money and it feels like that this is perhaps only a few steps above a bedroom-incubation project in people's spare time + funds, at least for this stage.I've been speaking with them a little bit today and they seem like great guys. I did also get sent a sneaky under playfield picture. I also asked whether or not they had a rough idea when the project would be completed and they said that they weren't willing to share that infomation.
I agree with that. I do give them alot of credit for not going the kickstarter/preorder route as previously that just seems to end in disappointment. I wish them the best of luck and seriously hope they manage to get them out to the public. I would definately sell most of my collection for a real Timeshock!Sounds fair enough.

I literally was thinking about them today while driving to work, I might try and get hold of them again, give them a bit of support. Would be such a shame if this died out. I so desperately want it to be a success for them, and then for them to make Fantastic Journey as well (always my favourite Pro Pinball game)All seems a bit quiet from Silver Castle, .... this is latest I can find on it (not a lot):

Fantastic Journey would be ridiculously hard to make in reality thanks to the multiple toys that swap out below playfield. That part of the game would have to be redesigned.I literally was thinking about them today while driving to work, I might try and get hold of them again, give them a bit of support.

you need this machine if it ever gets produced!
