Quoted from Defender:Just went through and cleaned Defender. I will be bringing this for free play to the VFW.
There are plenty of rare games already there, and I though I would give some people that have never played this an opportunity.
This game just got a release on Virtual Pinball and plays pretty great, I would like to play the real one so I will take a look for it, thanks.

Hey Saturday peeps, I still like the idea of a Pinsider meetup, just to put names and faces together. Anybody want to throw out a time? Wouldn't take long and we could just meet on the grassy knoll between the main room and the snack bar.
I've got 15 in my crew, but only 3 or 4 of us are Pinsiders.
Let me know what you all think!

Let us know what the rules are. We couldn’t figure this one out in Banning.

Wait....are you giving me crap about a messy basement?
Quoted from j_m_:excellent. greg and I will take you guys on @ $10 a man
I'm up for that challenge.

I'll be there the whole show with a vfw shirt on of some sort. Many know me so just ask for Gravitar while there.
If anybody has has a zaccaria seven digit score display assembly complete, and can bring it to the show, I would sure love to buy that from you. If you have two that’s even better. Thanks

Quoted from Beyndtstng:Let us know what the rules are. We couldn’t figure this one out in Banning.
Beyndtstng - Rules are quite a good port of the video game rules to a pinball. Best if you already know the rules to the vid.
The Drop Targets are the landers. When the insert in front of the drop target flashes, the lander has captured one of your humanoids. It flashes faster right before the lander turns into a mutant. When the lander is a mutant, the drop target drops, and the insert is still flashing. Shoot the stand up target behind the drop to kill it. Keep missing the mutant, and it moves to another stand up target.
Cool part: Each drop can be individually raised (lots of solenoids!) so the landers pop up randomly.
Kill all the landers / mutants, and finish the wave.
Completing the rollovers up top adds bonus X, relights REVERSE (see below) and gives a smart bomb. Smart bombs kill everything. Use the second button on the right above the flipper button to use the smart bomb. Tip: I often hit the smart bomb immediately after draining, before the bonus. Might kill enough to finish a wave.
Kickback is manual (called REVERSE like in the vid). Use the second button on the left to use the reverse (kickback). Timing is EVERYTHING. Cool shot: If you drain from the center and the ball rolls up near the left outlane, hit the REVERSE and get your ball back!
Lock is the scoop on the right. 3 Balls starts multiball. No jackpot - just 3 balls. Fun shot to try: ricochet the ball off the right drop targets, and it goes up past the upper left flipper, then hit from the upper left flipper into the lock.
Warning: If you lock, and there are already 2 balls in the lock (from another player perhaps), the ball will not come out from the shooter lane, but from the lock. Pay attention, or you will just watch your ball drain.
2 inline drops in the upper left enable warp to higher wave. Drop both drops, then hit the standup to warp. Each drop is like shooting a POD, and enables baiters. Baiters are the stand ups on the right by the lock. Kill them all twice to enable the diverter in the right outlane which send the ball back to the shooter lane.
A shame they only made 359 of these. Great game. Once you know it, its an excellent tournament or dollar game.

Fantastic explanation, looking forward to playing one with a working reverse.

just find me and I will be drinking imperial stouts all day
Anyone selling a used iron maiden as I might be interested. Have a restored Monopoly for sale as trade bait check marketplace.
Unfortunately a last minute work deal is keeping me from coming tomorrow. I will be there Saturday. But I have one EM tournament ticket for tomorrow and two Friday show tickets. Would prefer to sell together. PM me if you want them. Face value of course. Thanks.
Quoted from Beyndtstng:Blimpy burger with seven patties, solid meal!
No EGG!!
WTF?
I hope you followed proper ordering procedures.

Where's the 7 layers of bacon
Nothing like smothering a cow with some pig
Quoted from alec_p:Lots of rain tonight, so we're assured of the traditional 'mud-pit' parking lot!
See post 564 in this thread.....
Firefly is done(ish) and will be heading to the show tomorrow.
Everything works EXCEPT for anything related to the on-playfield bonus accumulating/scoring. That was just a bridge too far in the time I had. I'll get the game back sometime after the show and finish that up so it should be all good by Expo. The game is actually pretty fun! My son (who has been playing pins since before he could see over the lockdown bar) was flipping it a bit the other night and I had to pry him off of it and send him home so I could get back to work on it. In addition to the magnets, Harry put together a wickedly frenetic set of bumpers and slings up top. The Ball Is Wild.
Quoted from Puffdanny:Is that salami?
It was bacon. I’m not much of a salami guy but you could probably convince me to go back for it. I may go for a 10 patty next time!
Quoted from MrBally:See post 564 in this thread.....
Nice! I might be more excited to see the new parking lot than anything else!
Quoted from alec_p:Nice! I might be more excited to see the new parking lot than anything else!
You should be excited to see where we put the additional games added since the last show......
See you there.
