Quoted from orlandu81:I'm relatively new to this club, and maybe this isn't the most popular thing to say, but why make all of these adjustments to make the game easier? I agree with the air ball deflector, as air balls cause damage to the PF. But the center post, the lane guards, the other fixes to make shots easier...why? Yes the drains in this game can be frustrating...but to me, that's just part of this game (and theme). For example, when the magnetic sling takes my perfectly placed ball, holds it in suspension...then with full force throws it down the middle for the drain, I can't help but think "well, it's ghostbusters...makes sense that things aren't always fair".
I actually start with GB when I play in the arcade, since that one is the most unforgiving its a nice warm-up before I play other titles which are not as harsh on the drains. This title makes me a better pinball player on other machines.
Like you, I haven’t altered anything on the game to make it easier. I think some people find the game frustrating though so these changes in a home environment make the game more enjoyable for them.
