I believe in LOTR you always start from the beginning of every mode....including multiballs.

There is multiball progression save progression. You pick up where you left off.

Not sure. I can check when I get home from work, but I don't think so. I think its always on.

not true, on the fellowship multiball you get to continue from where you left off, at least on mine you do.

Guess I just never noticed that.

Do have a real old rom in it?

The multiball progression save is one of the nice things about LOTR (too bad Xmen LE doesn't have something like this for the villians).

Just looking through the manual and I can't see anything about turning memory / save progresion on or off. The multiball settings are extra easy, easy, moderate, hard and extra hard, but it doesn't say anything about save progression for the various settings. For the Two Towers multiball it says that for moderate, hard and extra hard the locks are unstackable (see picture below of page 44 in the manual, not sure if you'll be able to read it or not). Could this have anything to do with save progression?

LOTR has multiball progression. You may be running old roms. I own the game for many years and played about 7k games on it. I know it in and out. The old roms as far as i know did not have progression. Not sure if you could change that in the settings or not. Just upgrade and enjoy.

There is memory progression in the 3 mbs. Are you sure you didn't complete TTT mb hence why you started over the next time it started?

Holy moly! I think I've put about 700 games on mine in 10 years. Does Gimli talk to you in your dreams?

No one has ever (EVER) played a LOTR without multiball progression, the main reason being every single multiball was written with that in mind from day 1.

Now, there are points where it may not SEEM like there is... For ROTK, you must complete an entire level (4 jackpots) for it to remember you advanced a level. For TTT, if you get even just one super jackpot, you'll start over at the beginning again (although your jackpots will be higher the 2nd time through, starting at 150K instead of 100K).

But even in-house, during development, there was always progression. This is not debatable in any way.

Was there a time where you started destroy the ring with the ball being held on the ring? I think that happened in the older rom's.

DTR holding the ball in the ring is an adjustable option, and according to Keefer, was the original intent, plus it fits better with the story plot and DMD dots. Magnetized balls be damned!

But the ball doesn't get held in the ring until you hit your first ring shot (5th shot of the mode).

I wonk it is a setting In the new roms but I was asking as I played a game on site a long time ago and I think it started with a ball being held.
