Chris:

I have one of the 2004 runs of LOTR and the only time I got to valinor was on a mistake the game made. I am not a ranked player, but I have pretty good skills.

The thorn in my flesh with LOTR is the two towers multiball. It is impossible for me. For whatever reason I have a consistently hard time hitting the right ramp. Makes me crazy.

Enjoy what you accomplish and learn as you go. Otherwise you have a very difficult goal that the majority of times you wont get close to. Hard way to live- under the pressure of unrealistic expectations.

Quoted from leaffan67:

MrWizzo, I suggest the backhand for the right ramp. I just keep doing that to spell keep and lock the balls. Every time I trap on rt flipper, backhand the sword it is!

Thanks for the suggestion. I am probably less than 30 40 percent on backhand attempts to the right ramp. I just cannot seem to line up that left flipper and make the shot consistently, and with the speed and pressure of only the four shots in the multiball, I choke regularly. Rarely complete the twin towers.

I am a broken man.

Quoted from leaffan67:

MrWizzo, I suppose you can regularly fire it up the left ramp then. That is my Achilles heel..... we all have something to torment us!

We would be great in a doubles competition!!

BTW, I have Johnny Bower's autograph.
