Reputed as one of THE best pinball games ever made. There isn't going to be a whole lot I can add to what has been said about this game for years now, but hopefully I will be able to step you through it on a guided tour. When I first got this game I wondered what the fuss was all about, it took me a little while but I have to say I am totally hooked on this game........and I really cant explain why. No it is not the talking dummy 'Rudy' that intrigues me, I think it is a combination of a few things, mainly the fact that this seems to be pinball at its most pure.....it has some superb flowing shots and it has some difficult shots but it has a simple ruleset with some great hidden extra's for scoring big points. The guy in the photo above is one of the best known 'characters' in pinball, all around the World he is instantly recognised by pinheads as Rudy from Funhouse. It is well known that Rudy rarely shuts up as you play and his eyes follow the ball around the playfield, some people think that he is a little creepy. In a nutshell, The Funhouse belongs to Rudy and your job is to get the clock in the game to get to Midnight at which point Rudy falls asleep, when he falls asleep his mouth is open and he actually snores and his lip quivers.....at this point a shot into his mouth starts Multiball.....but there's more to this game than just Rudy .....quite a bit more actually.
My Funhouse pages will eventually include information and photo's on swapping out old ramps for brand new ramps, and some images showing LED globes placed around this game as well as an additional LED to light up the normally unlit Superdog sign on top of the STEPS ramp. My Funhouse also has new cabinet decals applied and I have images of the cabinet for you as well as a bit of a walk through the game rules as we go. As usual , my last page ( 4 ) is just a heap of game images if you want to go straight to them.
I also have a page showing Rudy torn down for an eyelid operation in my surgery.
