It could work...

LOL. Nice, SKB!

It's always amusing to see people soooo put off by the Luci artwork. It's a freaking pinball machine not something you hang on the wall as fine art.

Exactly. Besides it's bad ass looking IMO. Its also why so many people pulled their or stock translite for Aurich's, because as good as ACDC is as a band, they are some ugly mofos.

Have you played AcDc a lot? There may be more callouts than you think.

I like the Pro translite and put that on my Acdc premium.

IMO these are both great games but different. Depending on other machines in your collection you may be better off with one or the other. They pair well with each other or put a met with a tron or im. Put Acdc with a lotr or trek. I voted met only because if I had only one pin I'd take that one.

Awesome. I'll be looking forward to both of you not chiming in about an opinion on any artwork in upcoming games. Ever. Because...you know...it's not important at all.

(Actually, BigDaddy, you contradicted yourself, because first you agreed with Smassa, then agreed with people swapping out the translite for something better. Oops.)

Different strokes for different folks, guys. But art DOES matter. Not as much as gameplay, of course, but if you have the same machine with two different options and one is made for lonely old pervs, well...

I guess some of us just aren't that put off by a cartoon chick on the side of a pinball machine that fits the theme of a ACDC fan. I guess you're the type that wants photoshop images plastered all over the side of the machine???

Tight race, I'll be getting a Met pro soon.

Reading the rules it sounds like a blast with the individual hurry up shots etc..

Only negative I've heard is chopping wood to get to CIU but shounds like with all the side missions you'll be making a lot of those shots while doing those modes along the way so it's not like you only have to chop wood alone, other modes are being played.

Yea I have bc I was gonna get one but I just cant come to like it for some reason. There aren't a lot of game play call outs compared to say met . Thats not a bad thing but just something I noticed .

Ironically my ACDC Premium has the stock translite, I don't mind it.

There aren't really any normal modes in Met, but there are 4 normal multi-balls: Sparky, Snake, Grave, Coffin
The special modes "Justice for All", "Fuel" and "Seek and Destroy" are pretty difficult to get to also.

I agree that art matters, its just not worth getting your panties in a wad over. That fact that you label people "pervs" because they like pulp style art tells me a lot about you. Its different taste, sorry you don't get it. That's all and that's it.

That I'm busting your balls? Because that's all that should have told you about me.

If you're just busting balls, I'm good then. I bust balls with the best of them, so carry on.

Don't listen to those people.

I think it's cool that folks get their rocks off on the MET artwork. To me, the sparky toy looks cool...but the rest of the art just isn't my cup of tea. Does nothing for me.

ACDC is frequently blasted for it's look - which is a head scratcher, but I think the pin looks badass. It's like a barf of TGIF meets Cointaker. Love it.

Different strokes for different folks.

Regarding the CIU chopping wood comment:

Don't all modern games essentially have a "chopping wood" element? Eventually the player is required to do something repetitively in order to reach a deeper layered goal.

I don't love the premium back glass art, but the PF art and toys are so tacky that it works, the perfect example is the moving band members, over the top cheese. It's so bad it's actually good.

I was more going by the Bowen tutorial where he has a lot of things lit by doing other things. But then he says like "OK, now I need 12 more coffins to get to the good stuff, watch me hit the coffin 12 times"

It's a tie - 39 to 39. They are both winners.

That's absolutely all I'm doing. Hey...I'm not a fan of the Luci art, and yes, I would rather have the band on there. I'm an AC/DC fan, and it's the people who made the music I'd rather see. Does that make my opinion the only valid one? Hell no. But does that mean that I--being who I am (since I bust and get busted with the best of 'em)--am going to give up the chance to completely ridicule your opinion? Don't be silly!

Don't be silly - you know your just into guys!

Nice game. You have to ask yourself though... do you ever play it wishing it was a Metallica instead? I would

I prefer Metallica, but obviously I can't be mad at your particular ACDC choice.

Oh well, should be easy to sell and get a Met in a month or two

You made the better choice. It will be much easier to sell if you ever decide to unload it.

she's a beauty, great meeting you, enjoy.

Congrats, I voted for ACDC premium, funny how it's a tie. I also just now got around to reading the rules for ACDC so now I'll know what the heck I'm doing.

Picked up Met pro partly based on the feedback here and have to say I'm impressed as hell with that as well.

I paid less than $5k for Met pro with mods, Less than my SM sold for and I think it's every bit as good as SM if not better. I highly recommend a Met pro if you can find one for a good deal.

congrats net best thing to a LUCI!

I have Luci and METLE. If I had to sell one it would be MET. Just no comparison between the two. Sure if the poll was a METLE against any other pin I would pick Met. Against AcDc, especially Luci, Met gets the boot!

Acdc is better. You will love it. If you notice acdc owners dont cheerlead the pin like Met owners do. Know why? Because they do not have to.

Congrats on your successful hunt!

Well we'll have to wait a year longer till they are the same age. ACDC received more ball licking than any game in history after it was out.

"Bell" licking.

Like the song says "We've got the biggest balls of them all!"

Good luck with that.

Somewhere on Pinside, Bowen Kerins put a link to a rule sheet he wrote that runs about 35 pages. So...you know...it's complicated.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/146WOU5a2EV0I9E-wAZNmeFSvkuExckwSdMwKKjEH65w/mobilebasic?pli=1

Start with one piece at a time.
Like, once you pick a song, what do you need to do next? Ie: Hells Bells, you hit the bell. Or Rock n Roll Train, you need to make the left ramp, then combo to another shot.
Once you qualify the song, the 5 major shots light up. Good points for making any shot that has a lit song note. Once you make all 5, they relight. You build your jackpot by making a lot of those note shots.

One thing I didn't understand for a long time is what to do during multiball. If it's Jam multiball, keep making ramp shots. As many as you can.
For Album multiball, complete target banks. Tour multiball, make loop shots.
After multiball starts, you want to complete any note shots that are currently lit. Doing that will give you an add a ball and ball saver, but you can only do that once per multiball. A VIP pass will take out one of those shots each time you hit the button, so if you drain down to one ball, you can often reset the multiball by using a VIP pass if you have enough passes to complete the set of note shots remaining.

Good luck!

That's why this game kicks Bells! (See what I did there?)
You can play it for months and months, then learn new stuff -or try different strategies.

Looks sweet! Hey what do you think of the speaker panel decal? Does it look as good up close as it does in your pics? Thanks for giving us a look.

I voted MET because I have a MET Premium of course. BUT... I just watched a video of ACDC Premium and I have to say, it looks awesome. I may just need to put one next to my Metallica if one pops up in my area. That machine looks unbelievable, and I've never really liked ACDC's music and I still am feeling the need to own one.

I thought the same thing and went to buy a few loaded ones for a decent price but just cld not get into it so I passed . Since then ive played multiple times and just cant love it like I do met pro and twd premium. Love the music and lightshow but just not the way it plays for some reason . I really wanna love it but I guess I cant so im going for something else .

I like both games, but with MET, you don't need the premium. You can get away with the pro and it's just as fun and plays pretty much the same. With AC/DC the biggest reason is , with the premium, the ball gets rerouted behind the ramp to the left loop. Less down the middle throwbacks. That makes the premium play a lot different.
