Hey Guys,

Magic City: I'm looking for ideas how to make this game more Gottlieb like rules wise. I don't like once "Magic-City" letters are all lit, there are no above flipper shots for increased points or specials. I'm looking for input on once all the Magic city letters are all lit what can be done to make it have the 'one more game' draw. For example, Change the C-I-T-Y shots to give 100 instead of 10, change center shot to special (I feel this would be too generous). Maybe hitting the alternating lit letter above the 'magic city' on the center of the PF will give a roaming special... ???? I really want to like this game more than I do.

Thanks for the input. After reading about the roaming target and what it would take, that may be more than I would prefer to invest timewise. I like the idea of having an alternating relay with a special tied to the center shot. I don't believe there is an alternating relay but it could be added. Making the center shot juicy when lit. Thanks again for the feedback.

Hey Glen bring the schematic next Sat and we can look it over.

Aloha!

I have a two player - '61 Gottlieb Aloha. I would like to make this game a better 'shooters' game. The double bonus lite make a huge difference in the gobble hole points and getting replays. Currently the Double lite is wired into 1 point stepper that comes on 7/10 times, way too much. Disregarding the difficulty setting. I would like to make it more of a skill game by removing the 'random' Double bonus lite, and make it a goal by completing shots.

I'm thinking to use the side 1point rebound switches (indicated with arrows, not the inlanes) to turn on the Bonus lite. Make new metal covers above the 4 switches, with the position marked. Two possible scenarios. Hit 1-4 in any order 'or' Hit 1-4 sequentially, to lite bonus. And reset the progress each ball / or not? Each rebound switch has a light next to it that could be rewired to indicate a hit or un-hit switch.

I believe I would need 4-6 relays depending on the scenero selected. Any suggestions on what type of relays to use, or maybe a mini stepper if sequential? Would this be a candidate for a Raspberry Pi?

I'm looking for other possible suggestions to add 'shots' or improve the goals in this beautiful game.

Thanks
-Glenn

I would love to be able to put in an on playfield special...
