I hate Twilight Zone.
This bloody POS breaks down as soon as look at it. Super-Pin? More like Super-POS-Pin.

Its an awkward f'cking wide body game difficult to move....well anywhere, has a heavy playfield to lift and secure to repair (you will find you lift it a lot), and it needs constant repairs. You just get sick of it after like two weeks. May as well just play with the glass off and the backglass off all the time because you know somethings gonna break down in short order usually as soon as you turn it on. Its a 'something breaks when you need it to work the most' type pins.

I know everyone (only the non-tech types) loves the game and raves about it and wishes they have one (fools), get real. Nobody plays it in comps/tournaments or even at home and certainly not on-site because they want to enjoy blowing up a game, not a game that blows up.

If Pinside had a 'techie reliable top 100', most of the 90s B/W wouldn't even be on the list, especially TZ which should be down to 1000 or more. When selling, sellers wont haggle the $$$, and express quiet relief when it's heading out the door.

When on-selling you hope an experienced pinball tech or a way out-of-towner buys it because you don't want (and are going to get) service calls over and over telling you the powerball trough prox detector doesn't work properly and the game keeps resetting, like all throughout the next year or so.

Overated and overpriced piece of crap.

The only reason I would get another, is to put a Pinsound board in it and load in the alternative sound mixes and have a listen. Actually, to save some $$, get the Pinsound board and put it in a mate's TZ, (you know, the one you have to fix all the f'cking time) and have a listen. Get it off your chest. You will eventually come to realise that the new mix doesn't do much for the game and re-use the board on a more worthy B/W.

Glad I got that off my chest.
