A black panther is a "simba" mod? Have you seen The Lion King?

In CV, the panther's name is Simba. There is even a call out, "Down Simba!" when you hit the menagerie target.

Why do people always need to be so damn condescending? See how easy that was without being an asshole?

Only on location where I couldn't hear the callout. I stand corrected, and will take up the matter with JPop.

I have a CV which I will probably never sell and had paid that amount 7k like 3 yrs ago and this one likes like it is in nice shape and to me should be a higher rated game so if you ever wanted one this is probably going to be one of the nicest for that price IMO and GLWTS.

2.0 fixed some issues, but more is needed to make this more than a 3 shot table.

Meh...2.0 broke as much as it fixed. Forced Copy Cat (can't turn it off...yet you can turn off the kangaroo mode which actually fit the theme...huh?) and 0.5% chance of ever seeing Neon multiball. Still a great game, but 2.0 is no where near the huge upgrade it is made out to be. If I would have kept my CV I would have likely "downgraded" it.

I love it I really really do, still on the fence about letting it go. But I'm itching to do a full restore again on something like a IJ

The game is not bad... it's with WCS94 as Jpop's best game... but it's not great either. It's got some problems that eventually made me sell mine. Basically, the game is simple. Start a RM, add highwire, strike an ark or juggler MB (or any combination of them, depending on your stacking prefs), rinse/repeat. Only the left orbit, ramp or WOW/RM are ever in play... you never purposefully shoot for either end of the loop, or menagerie, or acrobats, unless lit for JP in multiball. And then the issue of no Neon and copycat...

The game could use a good rewrite of the rules... make ALL the modes meaningful and you'll have a winner. Right now, spin, boom, menagerie, RM#1 and sideshow basically complete themselves as you go for the multiballs. The wiz mode is top notch, as are the tunes and art. PF is close to John's best, maybe TOM is a bit better. Just fix the basic game rules.
