- Trolls - Two trolls pop up from under the playfield insulting you and knights in general. Shoot them a few times to defeat them and send them back under the gound.. uh.. playfield
Trivia
Medieval Madness is widely considered in the pinball-playing community as one of the finest (albeit, late) efforts put forward by designers. Players feel that it blended an ideal balance of ramp vs. target shots, hard vs. easy shots, and left vs. right shots; this balance making it a satisfying blend of gamplay for both novice and expert players, alike. It has a very deep ruleset, and a highly challenging wizard mode, as well as an engaging mock save-the-princess-defeat-the-evil-wizard storyline, and funny dot matrix animations. Listening to some MM quotes that never made it into the game was a HOOT! Apparently, Lyman had some ideas for some modes that never made it into MM, as CV was next into production, so there was no time. One was..."Not tonight dear, I have third degree burns all over my body!" Apparently from getting burned by the dragon. There is a quote that *is* in the game...apparently pretty far into the game and over a certain score, where during the troll mode, if you drain a ball one of the trolls shouts..."YOU SUCK!" This was mentioned by Lyman. Most of the quotes were done by a comedy group from Second City in Canada...Greg Freres is the voice of one of the trolls. Latest upgrade: Game ROM v. L-1.09 (Home / Free Play)
