I used to think Whirlwind was my favorite System 11 pin.. But I now know that Mousin' Around actually tops that list.

Here's what I love about it:

Tons of flow: Even the dead-end shots seem to flow back to the flippers quickly and smoothly.
Great soundtrack: The songs are fun, catchy, but not cloying.
Build your own Jackpot: Kick it up to 5,000,000. It's hard to get, but really satisfying when you do.
Great game mechanics: Drop targets that capture a ball. Has that been done before or since? HOW COOL!!!!
Speed and more speed. This pin is flat-out-fast!

So this thread is for owners to discuss the greatness of the game, as well as pics of mods, repairs, LED conversions (mine still has incandescent bulbs in it, so I'm looking for guidance) and anything else you'd like to discuss.

THOSE DARN MICE!

Quoted from pin15:

Great game- think you might have my old mousin around- did you buy it from Dwayne in Muskegon.

I did buy it in Muskegon! That was yours? Why did you ever sell it?

Quoted from epthegeek:

Why isn't the title of this thread "SO you want to mouse around?" Some fans you are.

What the hell are you talking about?

Quoted from pin15:

Really liked the game, but like many of us I was limited by space and funds- so sold it to get something else.
Funny because when I saw his for sale ad- I contacted him to buy it back because I missed it- but he told me it was already gone- so I bought his Black Knight.

That was a nice Black Knight, too.

Thanks for taking such good care of the Mousin' Around. Great condition, and the touch ups on the playfield are really nice... If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it, and how long did you own it?

Thanks for the link, bighurb...

My cabinet is perfect other than a really faded front decal. If someone has a source for just that decal, I'd love to hear from them.

Very nice! Still love this game...

Quoted from bayoubilly70:

Good tip, but I like Mousin' better than Road Kings, but both are fun. Road Kings has soom cool sounds.
I can find the Mousin's... I'm just getting too fussy for my own good about condition.

I like nice games, but I've been able to find games I want in rough shape, and get them into pretty nice condition.

I have the card on the right. I think I made that. Did you get it from me? Looking nice!

#105 8 years ago

I got mine for 1300 a couple years back. My guess is, it's a bit more than that now.

Quoted from Mitch:

Anyone know how to stop the extra ball insert from coming on automatically on ball 3?

Play better?

On mine, relighting it requires three center ramp shots.

Quoted from halflip87:

Anybody know why there are three microswitches behind the mouse hole instead of just one? In the switch test, they're also labeled "HOLE LOCK 1" "HOLE LOCK 2" and "HOLE LOCK 3".
Is it possible that they originally planned the mouse hole to act as the ball lock, but then scrapped the idea once they came up with the mouse trap idea?
-Doug

I figure that's about what happened. Either that, or another multi-ball mode.....

Quoted from MGMPIN:

Is there any way to raise your jackpot aside from spelling C-H-E-E-S-E and shooting the mouse hole? Thinking I might have a switch error somewhere

I think you raise the jackpot by hitting the flashing lane for the skill shot.

Quoted from cait001:

I installed a Playfield Protector on Mouin' Around. It had to be cut to accommodate the two cheese locks, but that was OK.
I am having a problem with the lip of the protector and the shooter lane, as sometimes it makes the ball bounce and even get stuck in the shooter lane gate. Anyone had more success?

I have one for Whirlwind that I've never put in due to the same concern........
