I loaded the code. Doesnt help the dreadful play. How do Sterns play so different than Williams Bally etc?? I bought it more as a KISS collectible than a pinball. I will continue to lie and tell people it doesnt work. Any other machine is much more playable. The topper is cool though...
Quoted from Pickle:Share the issues you are having and maybe we can help make the game enjoyable for you.......mine is kick ass...play it more than others I have.
Im embarassed when people play mine. Unhittable right ramp, the left loop shot always hits the bumpers, mostly the Gene STDM shot. Sometimes the ball save works but thats usually how multiball ends. My ball lock mechanism hasnt worked correctly since the game was taken out of the box. Constantly losing and looking for the ball then after a couple of cycles shoots it STDM.
Game just has no flow whatsoever.
Quoted from Tranquilize:I would hope that after owning 15 pins, he would be considered an experienced collector.
Ive done everything I can with this one...stuck with it cause its KISS. Also got the translite autod by Paul Gene and Ace. No one really knows who the drummer is supposed to be. i was gonna ask peter to sign it but I was told its not a good idea.
Quoted from finnflash:That backglass dont look like any of them, but Peter never played double bass.
Its like a hybrid Peter/Eric Singer
Quoted from Edster:Peter signed mine last summer. He was visibly upset that they changed his image on the glass. I don't think he will sign those anymore. I never noticed what they did to his image and felt terrible when he pointed it out. His signature on the translite was not great but it was him so that all that mattered to me.
Hes very touchy when signing. Ask him to sign something with Vinnie Vincent on it.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Sorry to hear you have problems...I picked up a nice LE awhile back, and plays great....Super jealous of the signed translite....Have a KISS Alive album signed by all 4 ,(think Chris the right answer for this one).
How long did it take you to get the signatures? Thinking about pursuing...
Got Ace and Peter at separate events. Ace is at the NY Kiss Expo as I type signing. Im one of the idiots that do meet and greets and buy guitars from paul and Gene.

I am soooooo jealous. I finally met Peter this year and really want to meet Ace. Paul and Gene were at the top of my list but they dropped down. My son and I met Peter and Dee Snyder. Dee was super cool. What a great guy. When I got to meet Peter I was like 12 years old again. Peter got a kick out of it. When he saw the picture on the backglass he was like who is that supposed to be? He wasn't happy. I talked to him about his band Criss that I saw in the mid 80's. Overall it was a wonderful experience. He told my son that he better listen to his cool dad or he'll come over. I said anytime, come by and play pinball. He got a good laugh out of that.
Was that at the london rock show in june?
Quoted from Edster:yes it was.
i drove up there from St Louis. had peter sign 37 items for myself and others. I figured he would get pissy if asked to sign the backglass.
So do we need to reset the Gene head like last time? There was an adjustment in the settings that helped a little. Afetr the code update mine shoots absolutely perfectly right down the middle. Actually got a Gene multiball and it shot all 3 balls straight down the pipe in a row. It is because of this just awful feature that I never ever want to even play another Stern. How could they ever release a pin with such an awful feature? Next time In in Chicago Im going to try to schedule a tour and ask in person.
Quoted from Guinnesstime:It's just the eject power. Pretty easy to change. You can also set the "ball save on" with that as well.
My Gene head works perfectly now. They must've made some tweaking.
Can you set the ball save during a multiball?
Quoted from Edster:Did you do the photo op? That was cool Got a great photo and a chance to hang close to him. I have to meet the Ace, Paul and Gene. Hoping they get Ace there next year.
I had a few items already signed by Vinnie Vincent. I guess Peter isn't a fan. Gigi kept him on track. I spent just under 2 grand so I got a free pic with Peter!!!
That was a great convention. I would up buying the guys set of Halloween costumes.
Quoted from vdojaq:Really? You sure that's the reason?
That sure does look like Ace and not Tommy Thayer. Can't be, right? Ace is not in the band ?
It's an absolute slap in the face to Peter.
Quoted from thundergod76:At least Gene and Paul had enough sense to keep Peter on the side art.
Don't think they had much to do with it.
Quoted from thundergod76:They own his makeup. They can use it anyway they please. If they wanted Peter on the translite he'd be on it.
I think Stern handled most of the artwork. They don't design their own stuff. Stern pays a flat fee for the license.
Quoted from finnflash:It now has Demon ball save during mb.
[quoted image]
Yowzer. That's awesome.
The Demon ball STDM ball save on multi-ball is just huge. Anyone mess with the demon eject yet?
My gene head still has all kinds of problems which I guess are mechanical. Doesnt know the ball the ball is in there, gets stuck, etc.
Also how does Stern get the slingshots to shoot the balls straight to the outlanes? Its like NASA accuracy.
Game is a little better now. Widen the right ramp and make the scoop hittable and would be better.
