Quoted from PanzerFreak:Stern has done a great job completing code for many of their games over the past 2 years but one huge glaring item remains...
Stern
WOF was abandoned. But, I'm with you on this. I want a HUO used GB, but I'm holding off for now.
Quoted from lpeters82:How do you play it? I just ignore it and double flip everything.
Cross arms - Left hand on right flipper button, right hand on left flipper button ... and just play normal ... until it reverses again.
Quoted from mof:As someone who pretty much only collects 80's games -- can someone please explain to me what it means to "not have code finished" -- pretend like I just un-froze from 1991. Cite a few examples of "finished" and "unfinished" so I get it. I'm not sure the difference between "ideal" and "sufficient" code here... I'm presuming Stern disagrees with you on whether it's finished, or they wouldn't sell these units when they do... Feel free to point me to another thread if you don't want to illustrate it here.
I think they are at ~59 (non-LE/Premium) titles since 2000 by now -- how many of them have "unfinished code" in your eyes? Why would that be?
thanks,

Besides the arguments for GB, WOF code never got complete with even just normal sounds (even when a extra ball is awarded) and the final wizard mode that has a few dedicated lighted play field inserts for it that aren't used. It's a pattern … if "they" lose interest, they drop spending time on it, even though customers still want it completed. There is some unpublished code that adds some things to WOF (that no one knows who wrote), maybe the same could happen with GB if it gets dropped any more from the interest level. This has too much attention for GB though, so eventually they will do "something" official and call it done if the owners keep speaking out about it.
Quoted from mof:So just the 2/59 games are unfinished?

AC/DC also - they started to complete it with the Vault edition and updated some code, added a "oi mania" mode … but there is a bug so that it wont start that already coded mode. That was a long time ago (guessing over a year now). Stern likely will some day fix that bug (and maybe others), but quite a very long time to wait for a bug fix … unfinished code.
Quoted from mof:How would one even know a mode won't start, if it's not coded???
It was coded and advertised and put in the code update notes. There is just some sort of bug that stops it from starting (from what people were told from Stern). ACDC is a well coded game as is (in my opinion), but waiting over a year for a bug fix that prevents a mode from starting is getting ridiculous. It "seems" that Stern is concentrating on new games so that the long waits don't happen like they have for the previous games. The older games (like GB) are suffering more because of that. A few code updates go out each month - but they are for the ones that they are still selling NIB (for the most part).
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:What are we going to talk about after GB is released ???
ACDC oi mania code fix that we've been waiting a very long time for. Not Dwight, but still ...
