Quoted from CrazyLevi:It’s a decent game but for me would be a good step below “keeper.” It lacks the refinement that defines a keeper for me.
Appears to me from previous posts that you are an above average player. Curious as to which machines you would consider "keepers". Enjoy hearing different perspectives on this.
(BM66 is a keeper for me, I have a hard time letting games go period....average player at best, fyi)......
Quoted from colonel_caverne:Ok i'm not a fan of B66, don't know the show but it is not a problem, vintage aspect is ok for me and fans here can explain me some aspect of the show
i just need a great gameplay to compensate weak layout.
i think i will let it go and be back later when code will be completed.
Youve answwred your own question early on.....not a fan of the game so definitely not a keeper for you.....no biggie . Ive played MET and AC/DC ALOT in hopes of getting past the theme....neither are keepers or even candidates for ownership on my end. Good to have choices.....
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I like the same games now that I did when I was a crappy player, so I don't think that has much to do with it!
I like games with good, intuitive rulesets that seep in quickly just by playing the game (I've never been an instruction card guy) where all the rules play off each other. Fun shots, smooth flow games like AFM or most of the Ritchie stuff, or stop n go stuff with good rules and great layouts like Pat Lawlors best stuff.
I can't put my finger on why I don't love Batman 66...it just feels unrefined to me in the software and layout department - I'm sure we'll get more software and I'm definetly an "In Lyman We Trust" guy. I know it's no masterpiece but I honestly enjoy my Transformers LE better at this point. I always play a game of Transformers when I'm in the shop and lately I'm passing on Batman at our local location in favor of Dialed In (best game made in years) and Star Trek and Metallica.
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.
Quoted from colonel_caverne:Of course i prefer to be a fan of the theme.
but please believe me..when i rate a pinball machine, the level of importance for me of the theme is set up to 1!
i
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....
Quoted from CrazyLevi: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?
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....
Quoted from Jediturtle: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).
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..
Quoted from CrazyLevi:How do you light the mini modes?
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...
Quoted from CrazyLevi:So you can stack them.
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)...
Quoted from cooked71: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.
Really, really digging the game now...definitely a shot maker format, so no danger of me ever really beating it.... 
Quoted from o-din:It was a keeper... until I sold 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!!!!
Quoted from o-din: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)....
Quoted from o-din: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....
Quoted from CrazyLevi: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!
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......
Quoted from CrazyLevi: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!
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.......
Quoted from wizard1: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
You must hit it again and fill us in...what wizard mode was it? This game is sick!!
Quoted from docquest: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.
Sweet!!! I can dream....
