I wish my operator would update. His Hobbit has all the lights lock up about half the times I see it. Power cycle fixes it but when it happens mid game I'm stuck.

I'm very grateful to you Ted, both for your work on the game and for posting here explaining things. Thank you very much.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Is Hobbit even used in Tournaments?

With all of the available adjustments I wouldn't rule it out. We have one on location and it's unofficially banned from regular league play because it plays too long. If I had access to the keys and could set it up hard enough I think any* pin is usable.

* Except Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball and others that give a huge random award Lights...Camera...Action!

Quoted from Rarehero:

...you know what people love about pinball? CLASSIC RETRO PINBALL.

Notice how popular classic retro pinballs are? You know, the ones without flippers? The EMs with two inch flippers? The luck boxes with shallow rules? The bagatelles?
Neither have I.

People want modern games. That definition will change as the technology changes. As long as grannies have money there will be games for them to spend it on but they eventually die off and are replaced with younger grannies that like more modern stuff.
Pong is a good example. Great nostalgia value but almost no one will play for thirty minutes. It was fun at the time because there was nothing better.

Quoted from Rarehero:

By classic retro pinball I’m talking about Stern and JJP. ... Pinball is INHERENTLY retro.

"Retro" changes with the times. You're trying to restrict it to a specific era or technology and it won't work. Today's cutting edge will always be tomorrow's retro. You don't see many people pining for the days of alphanumeric displays or score reels. As new technology is used in interesting ways it becomes tomorrow's retro.

Quoted from genex:

can't really find 8GB 2.0s

Try repartitioning a larger one to have an 8Gb partition and see if that works.
