Quoted from ifpapinball:We'll use DW no problem for our events. Off the top of my head, here's a random list of WPC games we don't use because of software issues:
Terminator 2
Getaway
No Good Gofers
Tales of the Arabian Nights
I've heard that TOTAN can't be used in competition, but am curious about why - unbalanced scoring? Too easy to build the bonus and multipliers? Or is it the objective-based game play leading to a massive-scoring wizard mode?
Quoted from desertT1:There is some higher level MB that you intentionally fail at so you can keep restarting it over and over. Something like that. I think there is a video about it I'm sure. I can tell you from first hand experience that nobody in my Pinburgh group was anywhere near being in that position.
Now I'm really curious! Can you post a link? The only Multiball with a ball saver is the final genie battle and it seems to me you'd want as many balls on the table as possible for that one. Plus, keeping a ball in the shooter lane makes the bottle move toward the genie quicker.
ifpapinball is that Why TOTAN isn't used?
Quoted from ifpapinball:It's collective knowledge. Much of it depends on the situation.
Our banned list is mostly reserved for our National and World Championship events.
Games with Catch-Up-Score or other mystery award intense games that can't be shut off also will typically get the boot.
There's other games where we'll use them, but only in certain states. For example Comet we'll now only play as single player games, since tilting your ball resets the 1984 progress for ALL players in that game (learned that at IFPA14 out in Denmark a couple of months ago).
Rocky & Bullwinkle has a rare "double your score" mystery award, which I'd imagine is an issue as well.
