People don't like numbers or facts. They like rumors and conspiracies and drama. Common sense doesn't ever come into play. I haven't ever listened to this persons podcasts, but given everything that gets said, it doesn't sound like it is anything more than a rumor mill that doesn't vet very much, just runs on sensationalism.

Given the secrecy surrounding pinball...

I mean...I get the angst there, but MJF has a sense of humor about it too.

You are right, I suppose I meant triggered.

Um...not sure if you've noticed the company you keep around here I got a Zelda quilt. Come at me bro!

To clarify a bit more:

The song you are on, you must complete all of it's shots (which obviously varies in type and # by song)
You then must also make 1 shot for 7 other songs. I do not believe it matters specifically what shot it is, only that it is part of the song in question.

This has been my fastest path to getting jukebox lit.

As for points, TS or TnT has consistently been the bigger scorers for me, granted I rarely go for the jackpot and normally go for the multiplier instead.

(note I am not on the latest code - 1 behind I believe).

It might have changed in 1.06....but yes that is how it works on older code. I've always used it to extend multiball/add-a-ball

Really? Wow, I avoid playing TnT, TS, and BnB first because those are the easiest to get past for me. Interesting.

Had little to do with it being B/W or Stern. It had to do with technology at the time. Everything gets released unfinished these days because of the ease of patching and rushing things out because of the 'we'll fix it later' mentality.

Most things prior to 2005 were released mostly complete and mostly bug free...and if they did have bugs...you lived with it most of the time.

I'll give you that code is deeper these days.

(as for the rest of what you stated, that's basically what I was saying)

It doesn't change what I said though. Rush rush rush is how it goes. I think the hoops people had to jump through with the limited space was just as difficult if not more difficult than today.

Honestly didn't know they didn't do that anymore, but yeah, makes sense.
