Toronto, ON
This weekend is shaping up to be awesome as I will be bringing home my really nice Creech tomorrow and the local ski hills are opening too thanks to the snow dump we have been having the last few days

Quoted from z28dan:Interesting, hmmm, seems pretty tough most days to keep both balls in play and find where he's hiding her. Any chance of adding the third ball into the software. Launch the third ball yourself?
If you are having trouble keeping both balls in play just launch one ball into the bowl while you search for the girl with the other while you keep spelling CREATURE and building up your multiplier. The problem with this is if your game has a reed switch like mine and you happen to drain you might not get the ball back in time to restart multi-ball. In this case I would say find the girl while trying to keep the other ball occupied in the pop bumpers.

Quoted from fiberdude120:Where did you get those? I may go for a set if they are avaliable.
You should still be able to get them for $60usd shipped from this thread last month.

Quoted from gunstarhero:No. Have a Judge and in the hunt for a CFTBL. Most people dont care a fig for who made the game, just the theme and how it plays.
I guess today is your lucky day and somebody's loss can be your gain

Quoted from allsportdvd:My creature has just started having a problem. The color DMD doesn't turn on when I turn the machine on. Then when I start a game the flippers don't work & the coils constantly pop.
I gather it's all related?
Same thing happened to my friend a few weeks ago. Check fuse F104 which is located on top left corner of the power driver board.

Quoted from gunstarhero:https://www.retrorefurbs.com/shop/creature-black-lagoon-pinball-sideblades/
These ones are kinda cool, they blend in with the backboard decal too... but I feel like the drive in theme ones are a little more appropriate somehow.
These second set of side blade decals were hand drawn by hassanchop. I bought a set off him over 2 years ago and installed them in my creech. They look great and all the artwork is placed perfectly so there is no obstructions such as ramps. Here are some sample pics from the old pinballpt site.

Quoted from MK6PIN:2 ball is fine for me...always panic, as I drain one almost immediately, and snackbar restart timer is always pressure...
I'm sure MikeD mod is awesome, just really dig the hologram...game has an amazing, fun vibe to it...not as easy as some may think...classic!!!
You can also set the MikeD mod to function like the stock hologram too. I love my MikeD mod and bought it before I even secured my creech. Good thing too because my hologram was all blue.
Quoted from Paul_from_Gilroy:Specifically, I think you need an assembly that consists of a reed switch with magnets. Williams used something like this in CV, NGG, CC, and other games. That assembly (20-10293) is unobtanium. Meanwhile, I put in a switch with a flat actuator. It works great. I generally get 6 switch triggers and a total of 9 revolutions before the ball drops.

My creech came with this unobtainium reed switch which was great because I could spell CREATURE almost 1.5x in one shot. This made building up the jackpot too easy so I put the original switch back in and plan on repurposing this reed switch in my shadow for the left ramp right diverter shot instead.
Quoted from Paul_from_Gilroy:Interesting coincidence... I replaced the left diverter habitrail micro switch in my Shadow with one that has a long, flat actuator, just like I did in the Creature bowl
That's what I did to my shadow but there is still a small chance it doesn't register. This reed switch should be a better fix to get it 100%.

Quoted from allsportdvd:Anyone think this could potentially be a cool topper for the Creech? Just put a couple of screws through the top
[quoted image]
I used this without the glass shelf for my creech topper. I even wired up the headlights to flash during move your car too
