Same thing happened to me last night. I wasn't even risking going for the last IM target, but I couldn't hit that center spinner to save my life. My 7 year old daughter was playing with me and proceeded to nail it at least 3 times on her next ball...go figure. LOL

Newer Sterns which come with leg protectors stock already, either the original metal or the newer plastic ones, do not need additional protectors. If fact, adding additional protectors can actually cause more damage such as decal bunching/wrinkling.

Wouldn't you need some bricks under the legs to hit 11 deg?

We played an F-14 in our league that was up on bricks and also featured some insanely bright flashers. Was darn near unplayable but we had a blast!

The first Re-vault?

Fingers crossed this would be the perfect opportunity to make a few code changes. Not holding my breath, but man...just a few small things and this game would be near perfect.

My wishlist:
Super skill shot(s). Left flipper hold, post down, to ramp would be cool, but short plunge to War Machine would be awesome too.

Make Do or Die Multiball obtainable. Not sure the best way, but at minimum reduce the insane amount of drone hits needed. Am I correct in remembering that drone hits do not count toward this total during multiballs? If so, maybe changing that would be a way to reasonably get there? I'm good with the other requirements being SJPs on each multiball plus the three IM completions. While I owned the game, I had quite a few times where I had everything flashing except the drones, but it took a damn good game to do that. I still want it to be HARD, just not impossible.

Earnable Extra Balls!! Possibly at Jericho completion? Multiball SJPs? Somehow tied to Bogey to make that more attractive to not ignore?

I'd personally nerf DOD hurry-up a little. As it is now, I find it super unbalanced. It seems to me a high score always depends, almost solely, on hitting that hurry-up, especially at 2x. It should be valuable, but not quite that valuable (especially if DOD multiball becomes a viable goal). I would also seriously consider not naming both the hurry-up and the multiball the same thing, though it may be too late to fix that now. It just causes way too much confusion.

Maybe find a way to make sure Jericho isn't a roadblock on the way to DOD multiball. Again, maybe at minimum drone targets should count towards that goal here?

I love the idea of more leaderboards. It's a little thing, but that's always good fun. Same with flipper button attract sounds.

I'd love another mode or two of some sort, but honestly I can't think of what I would do or how to make it not bog the game down from the tight package it is now. I think just making DOD multiball an actual viable goal would really do wonders for the depth of the game.

If at minimum DOD multiball somehow becomes obtainable to mortals, I would seriously consider buying this game back. It is so close to perfection, but really needs that one more layer of things to do for me. All the rest would be some sweet icing on the cake. Fingers crossed!

I certainly wouldn't say no to them! Could tie extra ball to combos, or if we are really dreaming, have a combo multiball like SM. A new mode similar to Bogey that is triggered by combos would be amazing. But, that is pie in the sky stuff...I really do not expect to see anything like extra modes. Keeping track of combos for a leaderboard though...that seems perfectly reasonable. Or throw us the old bone of combo shots being multiplied since I do not remember (but could be forgetting) any sort of shot multiplier in IM. That might make Bogey mode ridiculous scoring though.

It will be very interesting to see what, if anything, comes to be. It's a great game as it sits, but a few wishlist items could easily push it into the top of the heap.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but the one thing it really needed (make DoD obtainable) wasn't touched. Damn.

Good to see a skill shot and earnable extra ball at least.

I'd rather have lackluster but possible vs amazing but impossible. But I get what you are saying. I love the game, but it just needs that one more thing to do...one more achievable goal. DoD Multiball is already there...just make the requirements not ludicrous and there is that missing layer.

But don't get me wrong...I love that he revisited the game and added as much as he did. It is good stuff, and I do not want to be one of the "never happy" crowd.

You don't, that's the problem...no one does...LOL. I bet, in all honesty, that the number of people that have ever been there could be counted on two hands (maybe one).

You need to "complete" all of the characters. So a super jackpot on each of the three main multiballs (Monger, Whiplash, War Machine), get three sets of Iron Man targets, and the roadblock...four sets of drones.

Call me crazy, but I actually like the look of the magnet protectors...especially the Monger one. It just has more of an "Ironman" look to it. Whiplash isn't bad. Honestly like both looks.

The blue insert is a really odd decision. Still seems like a mistake to me.

I miss my Ironman...

Fair enough!

Nice looking machine. You might want to flip your speaker light acrylics though...they are upside down.

They look amazing, but what are you doing to protect from airballs? Or are they made out of some sort of tough resin? They look way to fragile to be able to take a hit. And it's pinball...a fast crazy one at that...airballs happen. They look great though!
