After playing it for years at a friend's house, I finally started to come around. It's my alltime favorite pin and I picked one up last month. I've done LITZ now 4 times with my alltime high being 1.45B (total of 24 door panels, flirting with LITZ for the second time). Before my "awakening". I would have absolutely loved anything between 300 million and 500 million. My highest score without LITZ is 780 million. You really need LITZ to score big. Without LITZ, it's multiball jackpots and power mania where you can score big.

You should be able to make adjustments to the rocket switch.. sometimes it sticks up too far and that causes more balls to not settle on it after skill shot. I corrected mine, without additional posts or rubbers, from failing 40% of the time to 4% of the time.

powerball is probably in your gumball machine. left ramp then right ramp will light gumball machine which is the far right orbit. do that a few times... should have 3 balls in the gumball machine so if you don't get powerball out by your 3rd gumball shot, something's wrong.

Yeah, 300M is my bench mark as well... you can practice it, if you have the 9.4H rom... but I recommend only doing that after you've reached it on your own. Don't want to spoil your first time!

No way man.. I skill shot ball 1 and then if i'm lucky enough not to drain i don't tempt fate any more after that! I usually will luck into hitchhiker #3 from the UR flipper.. then I just wait until camera award of 10 hitchhikers or multiball modes before getting any more. Pop bumpers in TZ is really the only major danger.

Sorry, what is that?

gotcha.. yeah, I don't think I'd like having those rubbers in there at all.. that's really buggy.

There is a 9.4CH, which allows for coins.. but it's kind of a taboo topic. Read the top entry on this page: http://retroblast.arcadecontrols.com/articles/modzone_5.html
