    I think most of the posts in this thread are missing the point, and that the OP is asking what the last game with an early WPC style "collect jackpot, light super jackpot, collect super jackpot" multiball is. Let me get back to you on that one in the morning.

    Okay, I couldn't resist! Here's a list of games that have exactly this kind of multiball and a list of games that sort of have this kind of multiball, all listed in chronological order starting AFTER Addams.

    Games with one jackpot shot and one super jackpot shot:
    Fish Tales - (Light jackpot, collect jackpot)*3, then captive ball is lit for supers.
    CFTBL - Light jackpot, collect jackpot, then light super and collect at jackpot shot.
    Indiana Jones (WMS) - (Light jackpot at left ramp, collect at right ramp)*3, then wail on captive ball target for supers.
    Flintstones - Jackpot lit at center shot, then super lit in the super jackpot lane.
    Dirty Harry - Right ramp jackpot, left ramp super jackpot. Relight jackpot at the warehouse.
    No Good Gofers - Left ramp jackpot, then Hole in One super jackpot or relight jackpot at right ramp.

    Games with sort of similar multiballs:
    The Shadow - In Shadow Multiball, only one shot (the inner loop) is lit for jackpots, and the super is collected at the side saucer after 5 jackpots.
    Road Show - Jackpots alternate between Ted and Red's mouths.
    Star Trek: The Next Generation - Jackpots are collected at the center scoop, supers at the left ramp, and jackpots can be relit with the spinner.
    Monopoly - In regular multiball, jackpots are at the left ramp, and supers can be lit at the railroad ramp and collected at the Electric Company shot.
    Ripley's Believe It or Not - In regular multiball, jackpots are lit at both ramps and upon collection, the super is lit at the Super Jackpot loop.

    After RBION, I don't think there was another game that had anything similar to the early-WPC style multiballs. This is not to discount those games; TSPP and LOTR are two of my favorites, as well as SM, BDK, and a few others with the more modern multiball style. However, I do miss the days of games where collecting a jackpot and a super jackpot really meant something. Nothing in my mind feels more awesome than cashing in a quadruple double super jack in CFTBL or bashing away at 100/200/300mil captive ball supers in Fish Tales. Maybe it's just because I'm bad at pinball and I like one shot giving me a ridiculous amount of points.

    Please let me know if I made any mistakes, I'm curious as well!

    Yeah, I was going to add a disclaimer to my post about that. I have no idea if any of the Premier/late Gottlieb games have that same kind of multiball as the only ones I've played in depth are Surf 'n Safari and Genesis. That kind of information would be neat to have. Congo is another "close" game, with two ramp jackpots and a inner loop Super. There is certainly a special feeling when you collect big points that aren't just given to you for free for basically starting multiball.
