You asked for it, you got it .... Lengthy WOZ gameplay video!

My neck hurts!

Seriously though, nice work Bri! Looks great. Doesn't look "slow" either, especially for a wide body. What is your pitch?

By the way, what is it that happens at about the 3:57 mark when you lose the ball, then it's put back into play, and says "one shot" with the LCD saying "Toto Escapes"? The pin went dead shortly after that, like you lost the ball or tilted? Did you just not hit the shot in time to keep the ball alive?

I believe the 'one shot' is a chance to save your drain from the TOTO rollovers

Great video.

I spent some time on it at the Silverball museum yesterday.

I should have watched Alex's video before hand, though.

Anyone who says woz isn't a fun and challenging pin clearly has no idea what they're talking about.

Enjoy!

Toto Escapes is when the ball drains down the right outlane, hitting each rollover T-O-T-O. the ball goes back into play and you have a limited amount of time to hit a certain shot. Hit the shot in time and it saves your ball and you keep playing.

There is not enough time to hit the switch in this version of the software. Something they are fixing in the next update.

If you light all four of the "TOTO" rollovers in the right outlane, it will go into "Toto Escapes" mode when your ball drains. The idea is that you have a very limited amount of time to make the lit shot. If you do it, you get your ball back. As it stands, it's virtually impossible to accomplish. You simply aren't given enough time, and the ball usually doesn't even make it to the flippers before everything goes dead. To be honest, I think I actually made it once, and I still didn't get the ball back. As I said before, the software is quite rough in some areas.

Edit: Looks like Pinstym beat me to it.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for the video! It's the first one I've seen that makes it feel like a real game. Nice job stacking everything. Obviously some of the transitions are a little clunky (like the drains to TOTO and TNPLH) but it's looking really promising now overall!

Watching on iPad? Double click home button. Swipe icons on the bottom to the right till it stops. Click on the little semi circle with the arrow and it locks the screen so you can hold the iPad vertically and watch.

Really impressed with the machine. Seems quick playing with decent shots and a deep rule set. Sounds are nice too, not at all grating like some have mentioned. I bet it looks sweet with all those LED's going crazy in a dark room. Those that have been patient seem as though they will be rewarded with an awesome game.

Wow that's so weird. So cool, but so weird! It doesn't look like it plays like any Sterns or BW games. It looks like it has a completely unique feel to it. Kinda like a Capcom or something. Hard to describe, especially without playing it. It's very clear to me that the LCD has endless potential for theme and gameplay integration and creativity.
Hope its fun!

Great video and great game! Gweem, have you finished " there's no place like home" ( or whatever its called)? Only completed 2 stages so far. Have done toto escapes....do a soft plunge and let ball fall to right flipper. The shot is usually the ramp.
It was fun to be able to watch the LCD as you played ( oh so that's what's showing on rescue multiball). Thanks for the video!

Just checked, and it's at 5.8. It's probably supposed to be a little steeper. It's also not quite level.

I finished the first three stages. Don't even remember what the fourth one was. It's a very cool idea having the multi-stages and showing the film clips on the screen during them. I do, however, think it's so special that it should probably only be available once per game. As it stands, you could technically get it multiple times if you keep draining down the left.

Nice, that means it will actually play faster when you ramp it up to at least 6.5 degrees. Doesn't look slow now, and the ball isn't floating like it was in so many of those early videos from the shows.

Quoted from TomN:

I have to agree, and it was a relief to see (hear) that the (annoying to me) WOZ music is not playing constantly. Some of the sounds were pretty cool.

It will be limited more than likely as will toto. And probably configurable.
