    I have 3 locations. One is DMD, One is SS and one is EM. I hold monthly tournaments at all 3 of them and people are starting to "get" EM games more as they play them in a competitive setting. EM games will make you a better pinball player.

    My EM lineup at Metroboom is:

    1976 Bally Flip-Flop
    1975 Gottlieb El Dorado
    1976 Williams Grand Prix

    More info can be found here:

    For the serious DMD faithful, just watch the AFM multiball session on pinball 101 and watch the master use slight bumps, tip passes, sling activation/deadening to keep balls out of the inlane/outlane areas and other "nudging" techniques that are all from/valid on EM tables. Please note that these "techniques" are not listed during the demonstration as are the seperation cradles and the newton traps. You must pay attention to EVERYTHING that he is doing to play a superior game. Good EM play will make your DMD game a better one.

    Quoted from ejg10532626:

    See..here's someone who get's it.
    1 from each of the big 3 70's pinball makers, and each a really good game. Kudos'
    Beginners must be helpless against a location Flip Flop.

    Actually, Flip-Flop is set up (as it should be) with a loose tilt to get the inlane/outlane layout to be playable.

    The open ended design of the inlanes on Grand Prix are the PF features that gets players cursing the most!
