Thanks for the input...very interesting to me how people prefer certain games over others....No rhyme or reason why certain games appeal to me more than others...love my TZ, yet IM/TRON will blow me away for a different reason. Then I transform and actually enjoy my WCS fix (weird, but true).

BM66 "scratches a certain itch" then AFM blows me away....can't touch music pins even though MET and AC/DC top everyone's list.

I play quite a bit, but will never be a wizard, for sure...the beauty of pinball....a blast regardless.

Interesting....I have to like the theme or a no go for me......guess that's why I'm anti music pins, and yep, I'm the oddball that has played Dialed In and won't ever consider it for my lineup....doesn't really matter, I suppose...grateful for so many amazing games out there....

Haven't played this in a couple weeks. New code is interesting, love all the new modes haven't had a chance to play them all but the quick multiball is good. Thanks Lyman keep it comin'! Do you have to "finish" these modes or just make it through them?

What is the quick multiball? Is that one of the minor villain modes? I think I read that Shame is a multi...is that what you are referring to?

I would love to see a few more multiball modes in the game...too bad each of the major villains do not have a multiball associated with them (the third "cliffhanger" continue of each might have been a good place).

In truth, played the hell out of it last night...got through villian escape and a couple of MB's, but didn't hit all the mini villians (King Tutt on Season 3 now) all the new calllouts and clips really make the game fun to play several different ways.

As stated prior, I'm average at best...have gotten around 1.5 tops, so never made Batusi. I think you just have to get to all the mini's, not necessarily beat them.

Gonna hit it again tonight, and see how far I get. It's really coming into it's own as a great playing game, in addition to the theme, imho....

Shame is an instant 2 ball mini multiball w no saves...a nice change of pace. I actually like the mini's as much (if not better) than the mains at the moment..

It was a keeper... until I sold it.

How do you light the mini modes?

The minor villians are lit by completing the 3 targets on the lower right.

Ahh same targets that light mystery. I think.

light all the TV targets on the right, then hit the final one on left orbit, landing in the trough up there....then you can scroll w flipper buttons, choose w lockdown. Really, really fun to get a couple going, the get bat turn. I then toggle the "channels" w lockdown, and try to play through the modes, all on timers...

make sure to scroll all the way through (alot still dark) but they have season 3 w Tutt running...pretty cool.

If you beat one, it lights the related season TV right in front of the flippers. Suspect getting all 3 seasons makes something cool happen.....lmk how far you get through them...

So you can stack them.

No, mystery is lit with return/out lanes completed. Collect Mystery and Minor villains start is the same shot once lit though - left loop to top saucer.

You can stack all the minor villains together with multiball and a main villain. The modes you have stacked are represented/shown on the smaller TV's on the screen. You can cycle through which of the stacked modes is "active" by holding the gadget button for slightly longer. This "channel surfing'/selecting "active" mode is unique in that the modes all remain active, but the channel you select will change the music, main LCD and lit shots so you can see what you are doing for any of the stacked modes.

Yep, but the clock is ticking...you really have to pay attention to the timers and make sure you've got the right mode on the playfield to complete then move on. Think I had 2, w bat turn on the small screens, w a major running last night, then went down the tubes.....it's like a 3 step process....gotta change the channels, finish modes, and keep up w it, while memory lane hits (for me)...

Really, really digging the game now...definitely a shot maker format, so no danger of me ever really beating it....

I think you had said a friend up the street had one, so a logical move at the time (along w non existent code)...you must get it back!!!!

B66 a keeper? absolutly !!!!

It's all good. The one I had is now out on location making the big money. As it was meant to do.

A wise and unselfish man you are for letting it go.....I'm not quite there (still hoard my toys)....

It took one of my parents passing away I think.

After that I went thru a massive getting rid of his stuff, his mom's stuff, and at the same time a lot of my stuff.

Too much stuff can weigh you down.

Man, sorry to hear that, but maybe the catalyst, as you reference, to another chapter. I'm facing an incredibly horrific event soon in personal life...never talk about it on pinside, and not much at all, and wonder how I land after that.

My "stuff" keeps me sane and mind busy a good share of the time. When that dynamic changes.... I always said when one go, they all go....I'll be done with it. Never have placed much emphasis on things or $$$...over rated imho....

It's all good. It was 15 years ago now. So I ended up with an empty house and an empty garage. And then what to do with the space. I think you know how that turned out.

We've gotten rid of a lot of "stuff" and will continue to do so. It's been liberating to declutter our lives. For the most part, if it hasn't been used in a year or if it's been sitting in the garage unused, it goes with a few very special exceptions.

But the jukebox goes with the house as it will be almost impossible to move and the remaining pins get sold after they cart me out of the house in a box. My wife says she is fine with that as long as she goes first ...

Fortunately, my daughter grew up with pinball and likes it. Unfortunately, she only has room for one or two games. I doubt Batman will go before me but I'm pretty sure it won't make her top two. EBD, MM or CFTBL will vie for the two spots.

One of those exceptions is "I might use it next year".

And jfh, you've got no problem getting rid of stuff. I've still got your River Boat in my garage!

so a few days ago you told the world that BM66 is not a keeper and that the game is booring.
Now you ask us how to light the minor villain modes? You also don't know how to light the mistery.
Do you know how to complete a season? How to add a ball in multiball? How to start 2x playfield? How to freeze a timer? How to multiplier a shot? How to double your main villain score with a combo? ...

Before you you tell us how booring a game is , make sure that you know how a game works!

I traded my BM66 for a Walking Dead... so no, it's not a keeper for me. Saying so - I am not a collector, more a player. It is highly probable, that I will buy a BM66 later again. Code is really on a very nice way, but it is/was a huge disappointment, that it took so long.

I’m not a rules guy. I already stated I like games that are intuitive and Batman isn’t. That’s part of my problem with it.

But the game is certainty getting better! Thanks to all of you kind folks for filling me in on some of the things I missed! This is the kindness and genorosity I’ve come to expect from my fellow pinsiders!

When playing modern games on route it is likely that you will never know every little rule on a game as it's harder to hear the call outs and you don't have time to really explore everything on a game. You certainly can get a feel for the game and if you like the shots and the major bones of the code. So I'm not sure it's really fair to jump all over someone that has played the game a good amount and just finds it OK. By your standards everyone would have to own the game for a few months before they have a right to an opinion on it.

I respectfully beg to differ....if you have a big enough collection full of decent games they never seem to get old imho. Ive gone through quite a few games in the last 4-5 years and it's been a wild ride. My current situation finds me with games I have sought out and really like. Ive found that it's getting harder to move games on now because I enjoy my lineup so much. Theres not enough time in the day to get sick of them. If I rotate and pick 2 games each day to put five games each on it'll be 7-8 days before I play that machine again. Because of this it seems I discover new exciting things with my pins on a weekly basis as I slowly master the ruleset of each.......my brain can only absorb so much. lol

I only shared these features with the hope you would get to play one again soon, beat the crap out of it, and give some details on some of the cool stuff Lyman put in that I might never see......

How many guys post that they love their line ups and they are perfect now and they are out of space and not changing it up now, and so on, and so on. I have the same number of games as you, and yes they do not get old as fast, but I always have a game or 2 that I could part with if there's something new I want comes out or pops up available in my area. So your telling me you are done and you are just going to enjoy what you have from hear on out? I no longer own some of my favorite games because after years of owning them I just do not play them anymore.

Hey not bad for a guy who doesn’t know any rules, right?

I made it through all of the minor modes but I guess I ended my game during the final one (bookworm). Does anything happen when you make it through all the existing mini modes or is that still to come?

Pascal, you are the expert, chime in please!

If the game is on latest code .87, which was released yesterday, there should be Batusi multiball.

I somehow doubt it's got the update I'm sure by this weekend though. brooklyn Pinball Al has been busy the last couple of days.

Battle minor villains from seasons 1, 2, and 3 to light the season 1, 2, and 3 inserts down by the flippers. Once you light all 3 seasons the "Batman" insert starts flashing. You will also see the bat signal flashing in the upper right on the back panel by Riddler scoop. Shoot the left orbit into the Riddler scoop to start Batusi multiball wizard mode.

you have to complete one minor villain from each season to get batusi multiball.
You can't play all the minor villain modes because they are not complete yet...

Got it thanks!

I dont usually really try to “get” rules on a game until it’s more or less complete but this one is taking forever.

There is a least 1 minor villain in each season now so you can get to Batusi with the curremt code.

Bat insert I believe. It should look the same as when villain escape is lit based on the code notes.

Never done...or at least I hope I never lose the passion. At the moment i always want new games. I also will never run out of space. However as stated in my original post none are stale to me. Fwiw when I get a new game in my lineup I dont play the crap out of it and neglect the rest in part because it usually takes me some time to actually like a new game. So to wrap it up....yes I'm going to enjoy what I got from here on out.....until I need cash for something new which is much different than getting tired of it which I rarely ever do.

Yeah ! And you'll never get the Batman back
Batman is for me the surprise of the last years.
As I played it the first time, it was boring. But now - Wow ! It's a keeper for sure. I must always smile, when i play it and it will be in my alltime high 5.
By the way : I've played the Batusi multiball, a wizard mode, but I had no time to view what really happend
If Lyman finished the code, it will (is) a masterpiece

Good grief, you bastard!!.. .....killed it quick....Batusi is in there (.87)....you must find it and detail what scene's etc. look like....great play!!!!

Keep us posted please.......

You must hit it again and fill us in...what wizard mode was it? This game is sick!!

Sweet!!! I can dream....

wizard1 was most probably referring to LE and SLE games, those will be hard to get back if sold now Lyman is hitting his stride with the code.

It’s as much of a keeper as anything else. In other words, no, because there are no keepers.
