Quoted from The_Gorilla:Joining back up in a couple of weeks!
Me too, I missed mine terribly and am getting another one. I have a really hard time thinking of a pin I enjoy more... 
Seriously, what pin is better?

Question: how do the "add a balls" work in terms of the leader board? Right now, I have one added 4th ball option - and I've exceeded some scores on the board but am not getting to enter initials... This is my second Indy - I had the same added extra ball on my previous one and it seemed to not be an issue with the leader board. I know STTNG " (which I used to own) allows one extra ball for the regular leader board... Anyone?

Quoted from Kiwipinhead:Just gave mine a clean. Opened out lanes. No extra balls or buy in. Set up for our NZ Pinball Champs. Top 32 players.
This is one mean playing pinball now...
Oh... and I just got my best ever Pit Stop ..
You may already know, but you have the rare sample PF (with different color scheme/the blue around the trophy)...
Quoted from Sticky:I just bought the table on pinball arcade and am really enjoying it. Not sure how this game flew under the radar for me but it's awesome.
I didn't think anything would come close to HS2 and although I prefer it I hope to add an I500 to the collection as it's challenging, fast, and fun.
The reason it's flown under the radar, I assume, is because there were only 2,249 units - plus those who own them tend to keep them... the rule set is so deep and frankly it's an awesome game that never gets old.
I think now that Pinball Arcade has finally replicated the game for their app, many more people will be pleasantly surprised at what a great game it is.
Quoted from flynnibus: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.
Whitewater does the theme spectacularly well - the PF is like a little white water rafting world. The sound is fun on WH20, too, although a little tinny and thin due to the early DMD technology. But, having owned both games (WH20 and I500) twice each, I have to say WH20 gets a bit redundant and boring... Indy 500, on the other hand, is much faster. far more challenging and satisfying.
Quoted from Sticky:I think this is very well said. Playing a bunch of White Water and I500 somehow White Water feels more satisfying. I500 is really fast and challenging though but there just isn't that sort of satisfying payoff.
It's cheaper than White Water so there is that. Ideally, I'd own both.
My issue with WH20 is it gets like "chopping wood" to some extent, getting to the Vacation Jackpot. Repeated and redundant shots that are moderately challenging and time-consuming. The payoff is fantastic and as I said, the theme/music might be executed as well as any I've ever seen... But I500 = better than WH20 IMHO.
