How many years has it been since AC/DC Came out? I had only a few games played, often in a crowded room, where I couldnt hear the sounds, and i am no fan of the band AC/DC, so I avoided the game, the first year out.
I watched the posts, saw the MODs, heard and read the glowing reviews, and said..."Not for me"
Last year, I played a few more games at a house party, and yet still I was unimpressed. Why all the love?
There must be more fans of the band then I realized.... Still a Pass, X-men came in, WOZ came in...I am doing fine, let others enjoy this one....
Then, about 2 months ago, I had the opportunity to play it again, for the first time, with no other game on, and a coach.
Ill admit, I only heard 10% of what my friend was saying, which was like every sentence..."shoot here...."
I am listening to the tunes, cool, not my choice in the car, but cool, and well integrated.
By game 3, it all came together, every aspect of the game started to gel, and I was hooked....an Amazing integration, of lights, sound, rules, and game play....Can the Bell ringing get much cooler then in does in Multi ball?
The Music cuts right through your bones, and I am on the playfield with the ball, rather then watching it do its
thing...I experience what I would call, "Lost in the zone" "Pinball Heaven", and an an electrocution of my senses
while playing....Holy Shit! What a ride! I am hooked.
So, on Saturday night, riding home from Curlys Party, with my thanks to Jason, Adam, Jeff, and Randy,
a Premium with 750 plays on gets moved across the state, with the generosity of these friends and into my house....
I get to play those 2 AM games, when everyone is sleeping, I get to hook up the subwoofer, and crank it up to play, when the family, especially my wife, isnt home...
Its intense.. Its more intense, because of the music. It sits in a good place with TZ and Xmen, as sucking you in,
challenging you at every step, taunting you when you fail..."Play Better!" I shoot a finger at the game!
I am still not 100% sure of the rules....Do I get a free album, if I get it in the hole BEHIND the Bell?
Will a 25 year Blonde Groupie come out.,if I beat the game and fulfill my fantasies?
I dont know, but the ride is different them any other experience I have had in 41 years of playing....
Cranking the Music up, completes the psychosis. Watching the light show, change with each song, phenomenal!
I am hooked, reeled in, and filleted!
The translite had to go, Thank you, my friend Aurich, for the masterpiece you created...
The game needs a few things left... a Cannon from Steve....Ill have to catch him after we have a few drinks...
Of course, just a few Bulb Changes....
I am now officially, a Helen-ized, Electrified AC/DC Fan.....Late to the Party, but ready to start Rocking all over again!
Thank you, to all my friends for the help, Jason for the insane great Price, and all the prodding from others, that I would like this game, while I was thinking, "Green Eggs and Ham"...try it, you will like it....
I did, and now I am addicted and fried!
Thanks for reading my Journey.
