Not sure why people think this game sucks so bad. Sure the code needs a bit of updating. Other than that it's great.
Ruleset is fairly easy to navigate and gameplay is nice once you tweak it a bit.

#1. Should default to Ball Save timers on just about everything.
#2. Users should be able to tweek Grandpas Lavatory Ball Time

I had a blast with Munster Madness the other day. My daughter 6 just loves the game. When she gets to
wooing and wowing about game that makes my day.

#2937 4 years ago

Bugs I've seen on Premium

#1. Timer keeps going when Getting Grandpa's Mystery shot before ball eject
#2. If you get Start Spot it basically cancels Grandpa's mystery.
#3. Seems that sometimes the Add Time ramp doesn't add time
#4 Lots of timer issues

#2947 4 years ago

Downloading Now - 2 seconds left.. Will update momentarily. Nice having WFH and lunch approaching.

Not sure if Stern uses semantic code versioning or not. Haven't really analyzed what they do.

They are doing the best they can with resources they have. Open Source would save the day on some of this. I'd give the some
of my time to fix things.

#2948 4 years ago

Not much to report update was easy with no effect on previous saved settings.

#2950 4 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

If manufacturers did this, how would it work if you gave me updated code and it bricked my game?

In modern day CICD this shouldn't happen. There are test in place to prevent this as part of the pipeline.

Granted Stern may not have Test or CICD pipeline in place. Or SDK . IDK how modern their practices are as they are not Open Source.

#2952 4 years ago

Most modern day devs practice CICD with managed pull request. Meaning everything that gets committed to final code is fully vetted by a senior member of team. This is what I do everyday. My guess is Stern and most pinball manufacturing companies are 5-10 years behind industry as its hard to pay folks with this knowledge. Which is why they should lean hard on folks that can contribute freely. For me it would be a great sideline project for the hobby.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

I finally just cashed out a nice Jackpot! Had 7 of them stacked and cashed them out for 38 million......dang that felt good!!!!

DAZAMN!!! I am envious of your skill.

#3113 4 years ago
Quoted from Puffdanny:

I was told by an op yesterday that some plastics were not treated right to reduce the static and will keep dusting/fogging up and if you call Stern they will send you a new window.

This seems to be an issue with many. Then stripping the screws when you remove it.

I'd like to have another one to have on hand if I ever sell. Mine also builds up the static and dust

#3120 4 years ago
Quoted from Mahoneyj:

The screw striping seems more related to using an allen head vs the correct Torx bit to remove the screws.

Torx - Good to know. Thank goodness they didn't use Apples hard to obtain bits

I'm sure most of you have had the issue with the Static Electricity and lower playfield attracting dust like a magnet.

A few post back I recall reading more details about this but haven't seen anything about it lately. Nor have I seen
anything on Stern's website about it.

Anyone have any ideas? How to cure this.

#5742 4 years ago

OMG I would cry if they redid code for Munsters. I am still a big fan of the game as it stands.

Only thing driving me nutty is the damn airballs on the lower playfield on my Premium. Nothing pisses me off more than missing 85% or more of the timer ramp.

#6139 4 years ago

THIS

"The hate for Munsters came from a very vocal minority and turned into a trolling meme."

Lot's of people I am friends with have abandoned pinside all together. Refer to it as a toxic environment.
A few of us still holding on.

Is there a solution for this problem:

Munsters Premium: - Grandpas Labatory - Right Ramp ( Add More time )
When shooting this ramp. 90% of the time the ball rides high and bypasses the opto.
Has stern or anyone come up with a mod to fix this. Could the create a bigger OPTO or cover?

Anyone else?

Stern code update please. Dont pull the same crap you did with Aerosmith.

People complain about Munsters being terrible rules. While not perfect I agree something just is missing.

Much of the complaints really stem from Pro and it's super simplistic rules. I think the premium makes up for
this a bit with the Lower Playfield game.

This game does have a lot going for it. #1 Fun music / Fun Callouts / Beautiful art and enduring theme.

Let's say we had a chance to make this game better. How might we achieve that in this game?

Honestly - game isn't bad at all.

Lately I feel there has been a lot of Trolling, Hate and just straight up mean people who don't even own the game dissing on it.

Pinball really doesn't need the haters / hate.

From an intelligent review and criticism spectrum though.. Just needs a few extras.. Like holy hell look how far Elvira 3 has come.

Hell I'd give Dwight free Coca-Cola for a year if he just tweaked a few things.
