My favorite center shot would have to be the crate in Scared Stiff because it's super fun to rack up points hitting it in "Terror from the Crate" mode. I think I find it fun because of the way it feeds the ball(s) back into the playfield so you have to gain control to repeatedly make the shot without losing the multiball rather than just timing a repeatable ramp that keeps feeding back to a flipper.

Least favorite center shot I'd have to say is feeding the VUK in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I feel that MSF is a better game than most give it credit for. I agree with some of the shortcomings people point out in it, but it has decent depth and offers a good challenge. To me just about every shot in the game feels super tight and that center lane that feeds the VUK to Frank's hands is tighter than (insert inappropriate metaphor here).

Yeah, I remember liking that shot, it's unique. How does the ball get fed back after you make it?

It kicks back out of the VUK that is under the left ramp so the ball pops out right back in front of the crate heading towards the pops.

Nice, I wasn't able to ascertain why you dislike the shot...

It's just tighter than the blue blazes of hell. At least it feels that way to me. Like I said, the whole game feels tight to me, I always feel like I just barely miss everything, but that center shot feels like the tightest one. I've tried trapping a lot to slow the game down and aim shots, I've tried keeping the ball moving to try and fall into a groove and start hitting shots reliably, no single strategy has been more reliable than any other.

Can you widen the shot a hair to make it more enjoyable? I did that with the scoop on the left of my Cyclone, and the game is much more fun...

Ramp to the right, target bank and Sarcophagus scoop to the left. Nothing really to move unfortunately. I still enjoy the game. I'm not a fantastic player, but I feel like this game sharpens me up a good bit when I jump off of it and start knocking balls around on other tables. I get a similar feeling from Junkyard, but that game doesn't hold my interest like MSF does. I can put 4 or 5 games on JY and just walk away, MSF I can play 15 or 20 a lot of times. Then I go play some Dr. Dude or EATPM and I feel like I'm pretty sharp and can advance pretty deep into the game with minimal frustration.
