I will join for a day, then exit. My Apollo 13 will be leaving tomorrow afternoon (between noon and 3) to travel to its new home. Pappy, please send me some pics with the mylar removed. I think that will look fantastic!

Quoted from PappyBoyington:I hear if you set the settings to hard play the game is much better. Much harder to reach the 13 ball multiball.
Have you done any mods to it? Lets see some pictures.
You can also play in tournament mode by holding the left flipper (I think) while pressing start. This keeps the blastoff from carrying over between games, making you earn the 13 ball multiball each game.
Pappy, go back and watch that video after you have played a few games on your game. You will really appreciate the difference the LED OCD board makes when you compare these choppy lighting effects to it.
I know the moon rotates like that because I have seen it in the test. I have never actually made it do it in a game though. I like playing these games, but I am not particularly good at them. Apollo has about the tightest shots I have ever seen.
Quoted from PappyBoyington:Will do, I'm really looking forward to seeing the OCD board difference. BTW do you have to plug in a laptop to make and edits to the software? How do you adjust the light settings?
There is a USB cable that you can pull out through the coin door to connect to a laptop (I use my Windows tablet) to adjust the settings. The stock settings are good. I have played with the settings a bit on another game just to test it out, but I haven't seen any real need to change them from the stock values. There is a pass through though, so you can basically turn the LED OCD off to see the difference on the same machine.
Quoted from PappyBoyington:I forgot about the shaker motor. When does it go off? Is it integrated well into the game?
The shaker is insane! It is definitely the most powerful shaker I have seen, and I think it adds a lot to the game. I knew I needed a shaker in AC/DC and Metallica after seeing how good it can be in this game.
That game really looks amazing now! Great job! I am really glad it went to someone who really likes the game.
Just a thought: It would be really cool to try to add a magnet to the playfield like on Guns 'n Roses to fling the 8 balls around at the start of 13 ball multiball. That mode would be crazy if those 8 balls didn't fall straight to the flipper.
