Livestream demo of Pedretti Gaming's Funhouse 2.0 conversion kit with gameplay and technical discussion.
Funhouse was originally released November 8, 1990
high confidence · Host confirms date after chat lookup: 'November 8, 1990'
Funhouse 2.0 requires you to plunge your own ball during multiball, unlike newer games with auto-shooters
high confidence · Host (Manu) states: 'So if you get into a multi-blah, multi-blah, multi-blah, multi-blah, it's like Tales of the Arabian Nights or World Cup Soccer where you have to plunge your own things'
Funhouse 2.0 kit replaces the DMD and provides a new translight but can be reverted to play original Funhouse via ROM switch
high confidence · Host explains: 'Pedretti came out with a kit that will convert your Funhaus into Funhaus 2.0... if you have a Funhaus 2.0 kit, but you want to play original Funhaus, you can. And I'll show you guys how to do that... It's an actual ROM but it's software ROM'
Funhouse 2.0 uses a time-accumulation system where minutes earned unlock new modes on the Magic Mirror
high confidence · Host explains rule: 'Every hour another mode on the mirror activates... You gotta go like 60 minutes for the next mode to start'
Pedretti Gaming-upgraded Funhouse at this location was previously converted to The The Addams Family by the same crew
high confidence · Host states: 'The last game that they redid for us was The The Addams Family. They did a beautiful job on The The Addams Family... And then this one, Funhouse. They redid everything'
Funhouse 2.0 gameplay is 'effectively unchanged from the original' but 'deeper' with new modes
medium confidence · Guest (l1ttlebubblegum) asks 'Is the gameplay effectively unchanged from the original?' and host confirms: 'the answer is yes. But it's deeper than the original'
Funhouse is a System 11 Williams machine
high confidence · Host mentions during gameplay: 'This is a System 11, coming'
Wild Dog Arcade has Funhouse 2.0 and streams it regularly with more skilled play
high confidence · Host recommendation: 'Wild Dog Arcade actually have this game, and they stream it a lot... They also have an Alien'
