California Extreme 2007 pictures
These are my pictures that I took at California Extreme 2007. Here's the official site of the event California Extreme.
I didn't take many pictures this time however there was arcade auction called Super Auctions next door so I took pictures there as well.
Favorite game of the event.
Hercules Pinball Game
Hercules Pinball, The world's biggest pinball game, I had heard about this pinball game and seen the pictures online. It was really huge! But given the size of the game, not that many units were made because not that many arcade had space to hold this thing. Because of that, this game is very rare and it gets rarer by the day because many pinball parts are unique to this game so if the game broke down today and replacement parts were needed, likely the only way to get replacement parts was to rip it out of existing game. (Don't quote me on that, it's just what I read.) Anyway, I was surprised to find out that this game will appear at the show and I was happy to be given a chance to play it. It looks much bigger in person. Everything about this game is oversized. Bumpers, playfield, flipper, and even ball are oversized. The ball itself was white pool cue ball. The game playitself, however, wasn't a fast paced action. The huge ball took time to roll down the field and since bigger ball meant heaver ball so the flippers could only hit the ball hard enough to hit the ball back up the field. The cool thing was that when the ball hit the bumpers, it felt like an earthquake. The whole table shook with each hit. I took the video of my friend playing this game.
