Might as well revive this thread perhaps Stern will finally take notice

I agree the code is great but could just use a few tweaks to make IM an all-time classic...

SUPER SKILL SHOT: Hold left flipper, disable orbit post, hit lit arrow for Super Skill point bonus. I've become so used to holding down the LT flipper when plunging, that I still find myself doing it on IM. This is a no brainer.

EARNABLE EXTRA BALL: With how hard IM is, it's crazy that you're not able to earn an extra ball via gameplay. Random EB rewards are just pure luck. There should be a way to earn one.

LEADERBOARD SCREENS: It would be nice if there were leaderboard screens for say Fast Scoring, Bogey, WM/Monger/Whiplash Multiball champions, etc. The more leaderboards the better.

If they made DODMB slightly more achievable that would be nice, but I also like the thought of "white whale"modes like LOTR Valinor. You may never achieve it, but it's something to keep striving for.

Quoted from barakandl:

I remember playing this game on location repeatedly trying to get to "do or die". I played a couple weeks here and there and I finally achieved it. I looked up at the DMD and it just awarded me 100m or something like that. I was literally pissed off.

If I achieved a 100M DOD award (that's hitting the 50M award right when the timer starts with double scoring running), I'd be fist pumping my ass off! I don't think you realized what you achieved, if that actually happened.

I've had game almost a year & my high score is still only 113M. Only cracked the leaderboard twice. Scoring is hard as hell on IM & I love it that way. Teaches me humility & keeps me playing.

Code just needs more polish, as stated before. Super skill shots, instant info, mode leaderboards, wizard mode dots, non-random EB award, etc. The basic stuff that most other games have.

Chopping wood is the last thing I would call IM's gameplay

Did anyone ask Lyman at TPF about a possible future IM code update?

Hey it's almost my birthday! When I blow out the candles this weekend, I'll be wishing for a little Lyman update to polish that IM code

Super skill shots, leaderboards, wizard mode dots, non-random extra ball award, etc. The perfect gift for any Iron Man pinhead!

There's been rumors of an IM code update for months, thanks to that podcast. The unexpected MET 1.80 release only gives the rumors more credit. IM deserves it for sure. Fingers still crossed
