Wrong thread, but since this thread has a bunch of SS Bally enthusiasts in it...

Is it possible to upgrade the flippers on all these old Ballys? I have a whole row of them, and I love them, but all the flippers are so mushy. Supposedly changing the linkages was supposed to help, but I swapped them out and the flippers don't feel any different. I actually think my Paragon feels better than all the others. Are the flippers in that game supposed to be different and can they be ported to all the '81 Ballys? I'm just looking for a way to make the Bally flippers feel snappy.

To answer the thread, I think Fathom is worth it. Paragon is my fav, but Fathom is really cool and fun. Centaur may be the one I feel is overrated.
SO. MUCH. MULTIBALL.

Does anyone have a list of the classic Bally/Stern games where someone has written new rules? I saw something about Flash Gordon getting modes and a wizard mode a week or so ago, that looks cool. And some guy has done a few of the Stern games (Stars, Trident, Meteor, etc). Those look fun too.

I'm not really counting stuff like Nineball that someone is working on now, or the "home" versions of Fathom, Centaur, Embryon, etc. Those seem to be 95% the same game with an extra rule, like a multiplier or a skillshot.

I've loved this '78 - '82 era of games for a long time, but being able to dual boot to a re-imagined version with completely new rules is a really cool thing. I wish someone would write some mode-based rules for the popular Bally games. Some really great playfields that would be amazing with more contemporary rules.

So, does anyone have a working list of other games where someone has added "modern" rules?

They also have to do with the two readout numbers in the center of the playfield. I'd love someone to write new code for this game. It is a *bit* one note with the upper drops now, but it could have a lot more potential. The playfield is still a bit closed off, so the rules would probably still be limited, but it could certainly broaden your approach. Regardless, I like Medusa. Certainly not my fav of the era, but...

Oh Jesus...you're the guy with the studded Centaur. LOL! Most of my pinball playing involves too much alcohol to be up close and personal to that many sharp objects.
