This is an awesome surprise and has reinvigorated my love for this game (as it was my first). I own a Premium. The new code definitely helps with scoring (got 1.1 billion on my first game with new code) even though the super jackpot scoring is lower, but you do get one more extra ball than usual it seems. Chattering teeth tiers are reminiscent of Ghostbusters ghosts which is a nice touch. There may be something funky with Grandpa's lab multiball, not totally sure yet... New sounds and flashes are refreshing as well. And the Challenge mode is nice. Overall, it's cool to have some added depth and layering with the Enlarging Ray happening over your normal Munster modes for some stacked scoring. Great Christmas gift!

Yes the Zap jackpot shots have always been there in Grandpa's lab (if you have the Zaps charged up of course)

I have not yet

Completely agree, I also have a JP premium and playing that (plus TMNT) has made me a better player on Munsters for sure. It makes me appreciate the beautiful simplicity of this game! Don't really understand all the hate this game gets...

Just the way of PinSide. Think MM is the latest target ( good luck w that). Many, many agendas live here....Munsters was an easy target....mini balls on lower pf, unitargets, and until now, shallow code.

That's a shame because we're all supposed to be pinball lovers on here. No matter the game, really. To just be happy to flip some balls is what I wish for everyone on Pinside. Everyone in this particular thread has a good attitude and you can tell they have a love for our "unflippable" little machine. Keep up the good vibes, Munsters crew!

Yep just installed tonight and racked up over half the achievements in the first game.

BE CAREFUL!!! My front flat-head screws were missing from the manufacturer, which I had no idea about until I followed the installation guide and had the table lifted all the way up, took off the 11/32" nuts underneath the playfield and the whole front apron nearly fell down between the backglass and the playfield, which would have caused serious damage. It barely wedged itself as I was returning the table to the normal position and I grabbed it before it fell all the way down...moral of the story: MAKE SURE YOUR FRONT FLAT-HEAD SCREWS ARE ACTAULLY IN THE APRON HARNESS BEFORE YOU START WORKING!!! (These are located under the lock-down bar).

The IC makes the already updated code even more fun! Enjoy getting those achievements!!

I didn't put the advertising stickers on mine, just the QR reader, but the door application sounds cool too.

Anyone that comes over always gravitates toward Munsters, especially after they play my other machines. Family favorite! Such a smooth shooter and the new code has easily elevated it to Top 10. And adding insider Connected has made it even more interesting.

TMNT is way faster than Ghostbusters. After you play TMNT enough, Munster's feels slow hehe!

I agree that Munster's will fly when cleaned and waxed, but there are not as many punishing returns from bad shots on Munsters as is with TMNT. I guess that it comes down to the fact that I can crush Munsters way more than it crushes me, which is the opposite on Turtles...that game is brutal and the 3rd flipper shot requires very fast reflexes.

I just cleaned and polished my Jurassic Park, and boy! It is way faster than Munsters for sure, right up there with TMNT.

This just goes to show that there can be so many variations and nuances with the same machines. My machines feel different than identical ones on location. Subtle nuances maybe, but nuances nonetheless.

Well said. Spot on. Pun intended.

And let's not forget that these rankings are voted on by Pinsiders only. If the general populace, the lay person if you will, had a say based on their casual interactions with pinball, Munsters would be at the top. Heck, it was an on-location Munsters that really got me excited about pinball and drove me to delve deeper. And for that reason I chose it as my first machine, and I had played many of them by that point. It is truly a special machine. I'll never get rid of it.

I most respectfully disagree. There can be immense flow and speed when you are on fire during a game of TMNT, it's just harder to achieve that flow.

And part of our disagreement may stem from Grandpa's lab slowing the pace of the game down on the Pre vs the Pro. It does tend to interrupt some high speed moments and redirects your focus for a minute.

But anyways, glad we can be both disagreeable and civil at the same time. God bless, brother.

Has anyone attained the Max Teeth achievement? I've had over 200 in a game and still no reward...
