Nor Cal Pinheads thread

Em: fireball
Gottlieb: spirit
Bally: flash gordon
Williams: funhouse
Stern: LOTR

This is super hard because for bally I really wanted to put TZ but no collection is finished unless there is an 80s bally in it. Runner up would be centuar. Other hard part is no classic stern.

Williams seems so easy but when I got to it I totally blanked. Is funhouse the right pick? Idk. AFM is high on the list for me but its a fan like Lotr. Cant have that similar of a game in a 5 game collection. Williams is just too broad. I need one sys6-9, one sys11, and one wpc for sure. Even that is hard.

Ya we only had four show up. Lets get some more players next time. Word of advice try to show up right at 6pm. That way you can feed the meeter 2$ to put at the 8 o'clock hour when the meters are free. That way you don't have to keep feeding and won't risk a 40$ parking tix. cant wait for KISS to drop at Fanny's.

Great night for first league at the new sanction here in Lodi.

20 people showed up. All the games played through the entire night. Lotr took a bit long but all the groups were done by 9:30 which is respectable.

Thanks for everyone that showed up. Keep coming back. I enjoyed every single one of you that showed up. Great times!

I updated Fanny Anns Saloon TWD to v1.28 lastnight. I even got to play a few games on SM and TWD. 120m doesn't even get you a high score on SM. TWD continues to be difficult even after a few games, was only able to get 33m.

I just played another 5 games of KISS tonight at Molotov's in SF.
Had no game resets. All multi-balls played fine for me.
This game will be GREAT for operators.
All the shots are easy-cake. The easiest game to shoot that I've ever played other than perhaps AFM. This will be great for casual players.
As a collector the lack of challenge of the geometry makes this a lackluster title for me, but I realize that "someday" the rules may make the shot timing interesting for KISS fans.

That non-working hyperball now works electronically 100%! Fixing pinball is way more elating than playing them so far for me. Problem ended up being a bad PIA that I replaced with a PIA that was also bad. Third one worked! Always socket your chip replacements!

The Charlie's Angels was actually my brothers, and he got it for free. So I'm not really sure. I would agree 4-600 depending on condition.
