Pirates Life 2.1b -Under a Black Flag-The Revenge of Cecil Hoggleston- Hybrid Table with Mega VR

I love this great table! Beautiful artwork and design, and it's always refreshing to see a true original creation with attention to detail on every aspect of a pinball table, instead of just a reskin of something old. Thanks for the great work!

Wow, Great work and beautiful art for DMD and Backglass

Cool graphics on playfield.

I have my opinion about some original tables that use too many CG objects on playfield that becames the tables better to play in Desktop mode as game and shows sometimes like Pinball FX.

I play most times on Cabinet mode where the Pinball feeling is almost real and some the original tables loose that perception because there are too many CG objects view in 3D mode. Not so much for 2D.

But this table is very cool and better in VR.

Thank you so much for your great table.

Good work, great table, thanks !

Train wheels runnin' thru the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody,
When I paint my masterpiece.

......

It sure is.  Amazing.

It's really fun.  I really like sinking the ships.  Makes you want to continue playing until you get them all.
Entertaining table.

Génial, super job👍

An absolute gem!  This table quickly became a favorite that my wife and I battle it out on!   Exploring all the challenges and missions is a lot of fun.  Great sounds and visuals make it even better.    At first I thought it was too screaming fast for us to enjoy but by end of game 1 it just felt like the right speed.  Even the music at first I thought seemed not "piratey" enough but somehow quickly synced up in my brain and I swear it creates a calm rhythm in my brain for playing the table.   We play it on a 4k 3 screen cab she and I built last year and it feels like it could be a real table.

Top Game. I haven't tried it in Vr yet but looks like it will look awesome.

Thankyou so much for your hard work and effort. It is an awesome addition to my vpin collection. Absolutely love it!

Great game and great music (thought the initial tune must be an old Crowded House song, but now I realise it's Split Enz). I really enjoyed playing through the missions. Thanks for making this and sharing it. 

This is a total breath of fresh air.

Huge congratulations on this release.

I didnt know it was coming and it has pushed me off the plank!

I love it. It plays and flows fantastic.

I like the music too.

A very enjoyable table which is my favourite of the year.

Well done to all involved and thanks again!

Dom.

I love it!  The graphics are top notch, love the missions and despite what others are saying, I truly enjoy the music, its catchy and reminds me of when I was working at Aladdin's Castle and hearing all the 80s music being blasted in the arcade.  Keep up the amazing work!

Wwo, This is an amazing table! me and the kids have played it alot! It really looks awesome! Thank you all very much for your hard work! 

Omg.  I love anything pirate related. Was very excited to see this table and load it up!  Everything from the layout to artwork to playability to ingame sounds is phenomenal.  The amount of work that went into this must have been huge - as with any release.  Unfortunately I am really getting hung up on the music.  Instead of being pirate-ish battle/cinematic/etc bgm music - we are getting pirate/pop background music, I am having a hard time getting into this.   I want to play the table so bad, but am getting hung up on music that just doesn't fit.  Hopefully there will be a mod, 2.0, script options to change the music in the future.  I want to raid, pillage and plunder, but can't do it with pirate-pop music. 

Under  Jolly Roger! What a blast this table is. So much love and humor went into this production. In every corner there is a new surprise waiting. The missions are extremely fun and varied. I laughed my ass of during the tavern mission with the burping pirates, and there are talking parrots and cannons firing too!   Voice acting is  the best I´ve heard in an original table in a long time, and the music is just awesome. Rebellious and catchy tunes that really fits this table. Please make a spotify playlist, or even better...release it on vinyl!  This is basically the perfect pinball table for the summer of 24. I shall enter the high seas again and again. Thank you so much for your amazing work @RusstyT !!

A total home run for Rusty and his dev team. Inventive, creative, with very keen attention to quality, artwork, sound-track, theming, detail, originality and masterful execution of all ideas. I have a great appreciation for the path Rusty is on so will add in my thanks for another awesome table. Well done Rusty !! -mrjcrane.

Great original table, good physics, wonderful visuals and lots of details, such imagination (I love the singing seagull, the spinning bumpers, the central save, the burping skeletons....). A big thank you to the entire Avago team and congratulations on this achievement. 👍😍

This table is wonderful, no doubt it could have been a original.  Very fun to play and immersive, thank you for sharing your time and creativity with us,  pirates hat off to a great table!

I really enjoyed my first 10 or so plays of this. Layout is fantastic. It is very fun to flip. 

Constructive Criticism: With high scores set in the billions it is tough to track my progression. I prefer non-rom originals to have preset high scores set very low so I can get a score and watch my score improve as I learn and get better. Default 2 billion, 1 Billion, 750 million, and 500 million compared to my 20.8 million. Now I have to remember instead of setting it and beating it. 

Thank you again for yet another great creation. 

Original! thanks a lot for the amazing share!

Wow! Long live Captain Picklejar! (Oh, dang, I did "dare" to call him by name.) Thank you to all the creators of this amazing table! 

You did it again. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this fun table, who doesn't like a pirate theme.  Nicely laid out with great graphics, lighting and action.  Play is lively and smooth.  Gonna spend some time with this one.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr RusstyT and his team does it again!!!  I didn't think that anything could beat Time Lord.........a table I loved so much that I had my virtual cab theme based on it...but, Pirates Life just might do it.  The story, the music, the call-outs by Andre and Russ, the beautiful graphics, the "action", the mode, are all incredible and fun.

Polly and The Tavern are my favorite modes.  They both make me laugh, especially the pirate skeletons that pop up in The Tavern mode.  They actually belch when you hit them.  There is an actual cannon that can fire the ball.  I remember that the first time I played, I thought the ball had gone down the left outlane only to be delighted that it had caught by the cannon which I could fire at various targets.

The ships are beautiful and its fun watching their damage, from cannon fire, progress until they go down in flames sending the captain, and all aboard to Davey Jone's Locker you collect the reward on their lives.

You can jump right in and play, like I usually do, or you can read the rules included in the download titled "RULES-Don't Read"....Russ humor   The game appears to be rather simple at first, but I can assure you, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.  The rules include the story of "The Revenge of Cecil Hoggleston"  If you don't read anything, read the story and the Pirates profiles.  I urge you to read the whole set of rules to get much more enjoyment out of the games.

In all fairness, I should confess that I may be a wee bit bias as the ship and pirate "The Bruce" is me (I'm not that bad in real life :).  And I was honored to do a couple of the callouts when my ship sinks.  I've never posed for a game nor done callouts.  That was so much fun.  Thank you, Russ for including me.

I hope Pirates Life becomes one of your favorites as it has mine.  And, if you've never played Time Lord, I urge you to check  it out too.  I can't wait to see what RustyT come out with next!!!  And thanks for a fun table, Russ!!!!

PinballGramps

Oh wow! That was unexpected!

Simply great I am thrilled. I have set up the table on my desktop

and then played with growing enthusiasm.

O.k.: I had to change the very beautiful b2s so that everything shines in gold colors - Pirates Life 😃

Only the music selection could be more Caribbean in my opinion and without singing only music.

To all those involved in this table: Thank you !!!
