Welcome back to Modern Man in Search of High Scores, and this week our goal is blood! World Cup Soccer is up against Bram Stoker's Dracula in a showdown that's sure to break some hearts. Lawrence Adams and Dean Robley kick things off with the week's arcade and pinball news: Iconic Arcade's Double Dragon cabinet mockup, the now-confirmed Sonic the Hedgehog by Jersey Jack (with Steve Ritchie at the helm), Pedretti officially announces Tales of the Arabian Nights remaster, and word that Stern's John Wick code update is finally winning fans back after a rocky launch. Then it's the main event: a head-to-head showdown between two of the hosts' personal favorites, Bram Stoker's Dracula and World Cup Soccer (1994). The guys break down both machines layout, design pedigree, and theme integration, from Dracula's punishing multi-multiball stacking and blood-red DMD to World Cup Soccer's buttery flow, asymmetric flippers, and city-to-city narrative arc. Who will win which awards, and who walks away with the title of GC? Tune in to find out! ** Legal Stuff ** Break by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat License code: 2TE8B1NCXZ0IHVXE

Beetlejuice gameplay stream from The Flipper Room showing multiball modes and rules exploration.
TLDR; Beetlejuice is an original and will become a true modern classic. I feel for the folks who didn't get the opportunity to even see the game before making up their minds if they wanted a Beetlejuice or not. Sold on theme and theme alone. Maybe on some rumors from the few that were in the know. Business practices aside, the game is phenomenal. I watched the film not long ago to understand the references. I probably watched it as a kid but didn't appreciate it enough to even remember it. Trust me, you can hate the film but if you're even remotely into pinball, you'll enjoy this game. I only played one or two games at GSPF and it was complete sensory overload. This time around I put in a two hour session to explore the game a bit deeper. I glance over the rules on TILT forums but I honest forgot most of it by the time I got to The Flipper Room so I mostly shot what was lit. I was taken. Instinctively you want to battle the sandworm as it's such a prominent toy in the game but I found it way too dangerous to go three sandworms down before getting results so I stayed clear from it in later games and that paid off. Another thing I did not explore was the camera as that too was very risky to shoot for. The layout feels very original overall. The left ramp/right ramp is of course there with some "orbit" type shots and a side scoop, but that's about it. I absolutely love to nail the left orbit around the "now serving" for lighting the lock and some skillful juggling you could get a few loops in and complete all lock lights. The Simpson style lock which now have been used on several Spooky games is nothing short of brilliant. The ramp lift to expose the lock shot, the sequence of lighting the ramp diverter during MB, and using the spinner to tip the couch over is an absolute masterclass in pinball design. The modes, THE MODES. One mode is crazier than the other, the multiballs in some of the modes are even crazier.

Don reviews ClearPlay filter material as affordable glare solution for pinball machines.
I received a set of ClearPlay from thepinballscientist.com for Stern Pinball spike 2 games and tried it out! Does the job of blocking glare completely from the backbox. It works surprisingly well and costs much less than anti-reflective glass.
I have a quick weekend update at halftime of the World Cup game for everyone. Earlier today Jersey Jack Pinball shared an image of what I believe is...
