Quoted from JimFNB:But ... the guy I bought it from specifically said his wife and kids were frustrated with so many bricked shots, and that’s why he got rid of it.
Me too, but got it and a TON of extras for a phenomenal price, making it an incredible value. I am also convinced it is making me a better pinball player. Casual guests like the theme and total package and don't seem to mind the difficulty, so overall very happy with it. Looking forward to the upcoming software upgrade 
Quoted from rosh:Work on G3 is keeping me more than busy and a few weeks ago my wife broke her arm in three places,
Yes, hope she is recovering, that is the important thing and the update will come when it comes. Quite frankly its nice just knowing an update is on the way.
Quoted from zaki:hey houdini owner. how are you liking this game?
IMO, this pin is worth every penny NIB an incredible deal on the secondary market. This is especially true for use in the home market. It is very deep, has a high construction quality, and the theme is very approachable (and fun - magician/daredevil/occult/showman). It also represents Houdini's life pretty well I think. I wasn't a big Houdini fan before I got the pin but am more so now, which I think says a lot about how this theme was put together and how the modes tell the story. Catapult, pop bumper chains, theater are all cool. Essentially one hard ramp shot (that is a very make-able shot) gave it an unfair rep. in the beginning I think.
Quoted from Platypus:A picture on a post 40 or 50 posts ago appear wrong too.
Yes that was my pic. I got sidetracked and didn't install yet, but I agree the standoff's should be on the bottom.
Quoted from zahner:And the sale prices disappeared again.
I saw your original post and jumped on this morning and ordered at the discounted prices maybe an hour ago ...
Quoted from zahner:Yeah, when I bought the game, and in order to check out the modes and features, I had mine initially set for 5 ball play and I’d get a ton of extra balls. I had games that lasted 40 minutes.... Ugh.
Yes, same with us. Went down to 3 balls. much more reasonable. Didn't change the extra ball point threshold, but may do that too...
Quoted from silen7ce:Downloading the new code now... cant wait to give it a try tonight!
Oh, the official code update posted! I didn't even get around to installing the beta rosh had posted a couple of weeks back - terrific!
