Pleasant Hill, IA
RBION will finally be here in the next couple of hours. Thank God I cleaned a space in my game room last night! Thanks to rooftop a bit early for the sale.

I feel like the bride left at the alter. ( I think? I don't really have any experience to empathize with...) the truck never came. Or called. Sigh. Hey what's another 24 hours?
That sucks. I had to call the local shipping company twice in the last week for my Luci shipment... once because they got the wrong street and wrong phone number, and a second time to make sure the driver didn't get the old bill with my old phone number!
Maybe something like that happened? You'll have your game asap.

Welcome to the club! It really is a special game I enjoy way more than I thought I would. I added mirror blades, LEDs, and a few spotlights to brighten her up.
IT'S HERE!! Currently looking for the lucky person who gets to help carry it in...
Note to Rooftop, it came through the delivery in awesome shape. Thanks again!

The bride that was left at the altar is about to be carried across the threshhold. Congratulations 
First impressions. Even having watched the BKerins tutorial I still feel like I have no clue what I am doing. And...I am no Bowen...
Gilligan's Island
The game is good at telling you what to hit, and watch the flashing inserts. Idea is to hit the vario target or the scoop to visit a continent, then complete them. Each completion awards a letter. It's pretty tough to do. The temple gives bonuses and modes. There is the penguin jackpot shot, ripoff, bozo....and more.
I have the game level but the Temple still seems not level. I haven't looked at it yet but is there a hint to fixing that?
You wrote you have the game level....did you check just the cabinet? Make sure you also put a level on the pf itself...could make a difference for you. Have fun! Tough game to 'beat' for sure. My goal is at LEAST to get to Atlantis...then I'll worry about Frog Frenzy. Hopefully in what's left of my lifetime. : )
Quoted from Cash_Riprock:Make sure you also put a level on the pf itself.
Yep, that is where I level. But, it doesn't hurt to ask... 
Quoted from Cash_Riprock:Tough game to 'beat' for sure.
Yeah, I don't foresee this as being one that my casual pin friends/family will flock to. Means I made a great choice IMO!
Quoted from rooftop:i think the game plays best with the play field on the steeper side,
I have it set at 7 degrees right now. I will say again, thanks Rooftop! I haven't even scratched the surface of this title and I am already swaying toward Top 10 fave territory...
Just hit 75 mil. Had all continents visited, but couldn't finish. Had like 60 idols and 30 jewels, spelled R I P L.

Use washers on top of the long standoff below and right of the C lane (below the ramp). Even perfectly leveled, most diverted balls will still go down the C lane. If you're getting too many down the B lane, lower the right side.

That's a heckuva score. I've had mine for almost three months, and the highest I've scored is about 22 mil.

It sucks to keep getting 'road trip' every time, doesn't it? Damn B lane

I hit 20k on average every game, 3 ball. I have outlanes set to mostly narrow. I had them wide, but it was nasty. Extra ball at 12k, all other settings factory.
Edit: 12 and 20 MILLION

Er, 20M and 12M

Thanks! I almost have it perfect. Finally had a 20 mil+ game. So much to do. Gonna play it for a week then tinker with lights and tweaks.
One thing I notice on this game is that glare is really bad. I put a strip of painters tape across the back box bulb and it helped a lot. I also have a homemade dmd glare guard.
Gorilla: couple of mods suggestions..one is the scoop light. (look for the post here on pinside), the other is the blue lights in the spot light on the shrunken head..I'm also looking to add a light on the plastic above the idol magnet.

Thanks for all of the tips and pointers, friends. I revisited this thread to mention one more thing. When I go to sell this game, some one please remind me what an asinine mistake that would be!
