just realized one of my target interuptors didn't survive the weekend while the game worked in the Fairfax Pinball Open tournament bank. damn

That's all the red and orange completely faded

I know.. I sold too early!!

The game isn't super popular just because it's more a B/C title in a crowded field of WPC games. Other games have themes people like more, or more character. I500 at least has decent humor and satisfying goals.. but ultimately a game like Whitewater overshadows it.

Well at least WH20 has the vacation jackpot and all the play that must go into that and strategy to get it right. Unfortunately I500 is unfinished in that regard and there really is no big payoff for the race/placement/etc. I500 is kinda shallow in that there really is no inter-dependencies on what you do in the game except for the lucrative playfield multiplier stack. Get that turbo combo up... play MB for the super JB.. play the point worthy modes and try to stack the multiplier mode with MB. WH20 is similar except it adds the raft scoring strategies and the vacation jackpot. For pure 'satisfaction when you do it', in this tier of games.. I prefer BSD's MB strategies.

I owned I500 for many years.. mainly out of nostalgia for playing it on location back in the 90s.. but sold it recently to fund newer game buys. It was a fun game to bring to tournaments mainly because most people don't have a lot of time on it.

They'd never survive... even the injection molded stuff doesn't survive. What is needed is a redesigned target and opto setup.

The texture was slightly different and the black paint loved kind of goofy... But in the game I don't think you could tell. I gave my extras away when I sold mine. Note sure why they are so scarce after someone already did the work to make them the first time . I mean we aren't talking huge ramps that require lots of labor etc
