I've got one. The video mode on it is *so bad* it sort of ruins the game for me. I've heard that it isn't complete, and that it scores you totally randomly, which seems to be about right from what I've seen. I *hate* most video modes, and this one is so spectacularly bad it brings the rest of the game down for me.

Having said that, it's more or less stuck in my basement, and every time I mention that I might sell it, I have a bunch off offers for it. Haven't done it yet though.

I guess there is something to the fact that if you play it with your eyes closed, you have just as much of a shot of scoring well on it than if you play it with your eyes open...

I used to feel this way about JP, and I was talking with a *really* good player about it. I said that the one thing that I didn't like about JP was that you could play for 6 or 7 minutes, have an outstanding game, get through the Wizard mode and only end up with 400 mill, or you could have a 3 minute game, hit the right Jackpot sequence and score way better.

He said that since I know ahead of time that the Jackpot is worth so much more, that should be my main goal, and if it is, which game did I actually do better on? Well, the one I hit the jackpots on.

It's never bothered me since then on JP or any other game. Tommy is no different -- yeah, the Jackpots are huge, but the sequence to get them is extremely, extremely tough to do. I'd definitely say that if I could get through the sequence properly, I had a great game. I understand if people feel otherwise, and I'm glad that not all of my games are unbalanced like that.

I have jokingly told my friends that the video mode is the 'run to the fridge' mode. If you don't get there and back before it's over, you lose your ball.
