i'm in da club

maybe we can get Robin to add an MMR to the pinball database so we can "(+) Add game link" to it, instead of the 1997 version?

ooo.... good point. forgot about that.

I wonder if Stern would let you take pix of it and share with us goobers stuck at home this year?

Hi Rick,
Please take your time on this and do it all right. I'm in no hurry to stuff it in my arcade. In fact, I need to sell a few more pins. I'd much rather have an MMR LE at a later date that you believe is top notch
Appreciate all the great work and effort being put into it. What an amazing success story !!

hehehe...

You guys crack me up
I came home from work one day and saw this happen to joust last year.

I played MMR earlier this year.
It really does play better than the original,
And the light show seems much more impressive.

hi,

yes, at Texas Pin Fest earlier this year.
the flippers were great. i was able to nail every shot. Also, that tougher high-incline right ramp was much easier to get the ball all the way up & over on the new MMR's than on any original MM i've every played in about the last 5 years.

And when i played the 2 other original MM's at the show, you could see they (original MM's) weren't as strong, and they (original MM's) were both in use for the tournament.

ps. i don't own any stock or receive any form of equity or revenue from PPS (yet)

hope that helps.

come on down...

hi,

good question.
it could be a "newer" set of factors that lead to the "play better" take-away from the experience.
here's what i can think of:
a) shots were strong and powerful, making high ramp shots more successful than on all MM's i've ever played.
b) castle reaction to ball impact seemed more responsive (maybe quicker reaction time) than original MM's, and it looked/sounded really good in that action timing.
c) probably a well waxed new playfield helped.
d) probably new balls helped.
e) due to many of those factors, if seemed to be a faster ball game, while leveling felt good of the pin (and i watched them level both prior). think i have pix of that. I like my Tron LE a lot because of the speed of the game play, and the MMR has more of that speed feel to it. When you start hitting those successful shots, that single & multi-ball game action just gets fast and exciting. It was a very real rush.
f) Sound: i don't recall much about sound as it was loud at the TPF, but I could hear the game. Maybe could tell some differences in a quiet environment (but can't say anything about it at moment). The audio did seam well aligned to the physical action.

Each time I walked away from MMR, I had that adrenaline rush like I do from Tron. I had low to average expectations for it, knowing what playing MM is like (which I wanted to buy for years), but I have to tell you, maybe because it's new, maybe because of some tweaks, maybe because of what appears to be a much better light show, this game is a serious high-speed blast. After playing it at TPF this year, I can say, I'm very-very-very glad I've made this purchase. This is a keeper for sure that is going to get years of play and a few of my other pins are going to get really jealous.

here's some pix.

hope that helps,
b
