30 million is a great score. I think my high score is very similar. Very fun game!
 
Is your G.I. out on the left hand side? It looks really dark.

NGG is a pretty neat game and I like the bright artwork on it a lot, and it's loaded with features. It's a little too similar to Whirlwind IMO to have both in a smaller group of pins. Many of the shots are almost the same. I like WW a lot, but I'm not sure I like NGG as much, I just haven't played it enough to know.

Great vid !!!!!!!.
Hey when you play your pins do you light them up overhead so you can see the playfield better??? If I dont have a light over my F14 when I play I get blinded by the strobes then I cant see the ball or playfield....=p
 
your knowledge and the way you shoot and present your videos is simply amazing.

that "hey guys" bit at the start you always say on all your videos cracks me up,i cant help but laugh my head off!

you should do work like this if you dont already do,presenting etc etc.

fab vid!
;)

GI is not out. Not that I am aware.

All of Pat Lawlor's games have these same shots. It's part of the deal. Whirlwind is a lot more like The Addam's Family than NGG. Especially with the scoop right in front. I don't feel like NGG is at all like Whirlwind, totally different feeling game. I like NGG better but love Whirlwind.

I only turn the lights on when I am doing my vids. Lights in the basement are normally off. That's pretty crazy that you are getting blinded by the flashers!

A lot of Lawlor's have similarities but all of them aren't that similar. Yeah, I guess it's not the closest game to WW but it's similar. Same skill shot, the spinning disc on the right, the right flipper ramp shot, some shots in the upper right are similar too. Maybe not as much as I thought... I was thinking NGG had a shot through the pops as well. Now Jurassic Park is a major copy of WW, and like you said, Addams. I've noticed the new Stern IJ pin is very similar in the shot placement as well.

The main shots of the game are not in Whirlwind. The putting green is straight back and to the left. And, the two ramps in the center to the right where the gofers are. I guess Whirlwind has one of those ramps and with the hole underneath. This time there are two gofers to deal with. And, the slam ramp that comes down and you have to shoot to the top hole in one shot. Funny, my TSPP has that same top right flipper ramp shot. Addams family has it too but it's shot from the left. Funhouse has it from the left too. The spinner in Gofers is also a roulette wheel and serves more of a purpose. You usually focus on it when the ball is captured and you're waiting while it spins to land on a prize.

Anyways, I totally get what you are saying. But, having them both, they are two totally different games. I don't think of them as the same. TSPP is a lot like Whirlwind too in many ways. They all share some shots. Let's face it, there is only so much you can do with a pin layout. These aren't fan layout pins, so they all share something in common. Either way, they are all fun and that's all that matters! :D
