Quoted from swampfire:

This was in my son’s birthday card to me on April 3. I still hadn’t decided at that point, but now I have a Premium on order.

Nice of your Son to buy you that game!

Quoted from JakePG:

Just picked up a pro today from the fedex terminal. The guy driving the forklift said somebody was there a little before me who got the exact same thing. This was in Chester Spring, PA.
So my son and I were playing the game. I hit the spinner and drained shortly after. My son started his ball right after, but the spinner was still spinning and gave him points. Has anybody else seen anything like this?
Translite has a few blemishes and am missing the extra overlord plastic piece. Other than that, everything about the games is awesome so far. Gameplay, code, art, LCD art, etc... love it.

Blemished translite? Haven’t heard that one before. Call your disto on this and anything else missing.

Had Schwaggs and kermit24 over to try my pro. They are getting their FF’s “hopefully” in the week….or two?

I put my “freshest” game in a single spot away from my other games so folks can gather around and enjoy it. So far love the flow and the don’t blink/take my breath away speed of my game. Can’t wait to try my friend’s Prem and LE’s.

We are a fortunate bunch!

I got mine - your folks turn! Keep ‘em coming Stern!

Quoted from onemilemore:Just realized that a neon green powerball might look cool as a replacement for the captive ball, similar to what people did for Ghostbusters.

PinMonk showed a pic with a green ball already. Looked good!

I wasn’t “loving” FF right out of box. It felt a little off from what “I wanted” and I was focusing on the negative side with those thoughts. “But” I was always drawn back to it to hit start again. In a more slightly annoyed hit start again way and not “I love this game/let’s play again!” reason.

So as I played I did tend to repeatedly ask myself and kind of complain to myself “why do I not immediately dig FF like my DP or IMDN (which have similarities with FF)?!” and then listing the reasons why I don’t like FF as much. I especially did this after short games where I could not find the right angles of shots.

But! Then when I ran out of negative reasons and comparisons I started accepting and appreciating FF for what it is and I started to enjoy it more and more. And after being stuck under 500 million for a while I blew up my game with a 1.377 Billion score the other night. Maybe the change of gears was the reason?? More loose! More positive!

If you are like I was being so so or lower view then expected on FF so far “Maybe” stop trying to compare FF to JP DP GDZ IMDN “the greats” which many already love and/or “FF is good but isn’t want I wanted” which I did and start accepting FF for what it is you will enjoy it more?

After a slower start than expected I now think FF is a keeper for sure. Although it’s similar to other games, yes, as I relook at it there is still nothing quite like it in my view. It stands out on its own more now in my mind. Just saying what I went through. Maybe it will help someone who is “on the fence” currently.

Quoted from javagrind888:

Does anyone else feel like the left ramp to start a mode is a tough shot to make? I seem to hit one of the posts around it just about every time I'm shooting for it. I only feel safe to shoot for it when it's trapped up on the left flipper and backhanding it. It's a super dangerous one to miss too. (Precision flippers, 6.8 degrees)

In the beginning I was crying like a little B to my friends about the left ramp shot as a main complaint among other things.
Left ramp “too dangerous, ball rattles and clunks up the ramp and hits the top plastic hard, doesn’t feel smooth to hit like my DP left ramp!” BUT I worked at it, dialed in my shots from both flippers, got better and now I don’t think about it anymore.

Hitting the left ramp shot is a big part of your FF training. Play better - yes, but for me it was more - quit complaining first and then start making the shot (s).

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I prefer itemizing my asks and getting the info from the good folks here.
It's a public service, and takes everybody's minds off their aching desire for new code!!!
(good stuff in here as a reference sheet thanks)

The Bond thread did get more interesting when CrazyLevi showed up.
Here was Bond thread - desert wasteland/lack of code, Levi shows up, chatter starts, get code, Levi more chatter, more code. Great game.

I know how this plays out with Levi showing up with my experience from Bond. FF folks will see the magic soon.

Quoted from mozach:

Sold my premium to Altan and bought Eric's LE. Win/win/win for everyone.

That’s how you do it! Own a Prem / sell it for an LE. New Prem buyer coming in gets a nice Prem for a smart value purchase.

1.0 is here and time to settle in with a FF for the long haul.
