Quoted from RWH:I'm not sure those two FH and Taxi can even be changed
Yes they can be changed to 4 or 5 ball I believe.
For me, all my pre-1986 games are usually set to 5 balls, just because most of those games will drain faster, and that's how they were set in my local arcade back in the day. All my post 1986 games are set to 3 balls, due to slightly longer ball times.
Quoted from scscottc:It is more fun to not play very well on 5 balls than it is on 3
I see your point here. I actually tried 5 balls on TZ for a while, but it actually makes the rules harder on factory settings. For example; when you start a mode in either the piano or slot machine the lights will not relight until you make successive ramp shots afterwards. Also the spiral bonus starts at the beginning instead of three steps up like it does on 3 ball play. In the end I much preferred the 3 ball set up.
Like you said though, they're your games.
