Just picked up a sst and I must say its very fast and pretty difficult and it will be even faster after I clean it up and adjust everything . It seems to have a layout that im not use to because ive had mostly pat L kind of games and this is a great change up. Looking at it the layout is much like the more popular games like mm, met and stuff like that? I personally love the movie and theme but im guessing thats what holds this game back from being more sought after? Im going to add the missing speaker and upgrade them along with leds and cliffys which will make it much better. I guess im wondering y this title isnt ranked higher especially for 2k because it seems to have good reviews? Or is it just now being discovered and becoming more popular?

Unfortunately I stripped it last night so it won't be played for week or so but while what a pain in the butt and because it hasn't been done before I had to cut all the zip ties underneath to pull the wires threw the playfield going to be a pain to put back together but it will be a beauty when done .

Yea its really fun and fast keep u on your toes way different than my current linevup other than bsd which is just as fast . Sst is pretty rare also and don't come up for sale much so alot of people probably haven't played it also which may be partly y its not more popular

I played 30 or so games before the teardown and I didn't get mb that often and everything worked well on mine maybe I just suck or you have a opto or switch issue ?

Yea its very underrated in my opinion and apparently many others. Cant wait to get my parts in and get to killing bugs

The rules aren't super deep but I dont see me beating it anytime soon u really need sniper accuracy on this game . There are plenty of other things to do tho instead of killing bugs overall all a good game with flow and speed. Really well integrated theme which well ... I love the movie so that really helps in my case

Quoted from OTTOgd:

Hate to say it but this gameplay video kinda ruined the game's appeal to me.
» YouTube video

Yea something is wrong with that games scoop it shouldn't award recon from the back it must have a flaky switch. The scoop shot is tight so definitely made it much easier awarding it from the pops

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

I just took advantage of adafruit's Black Friday sale to order another Pi and a 4" LCD to do a mod for my SST.
Gonna replace the live fire assault range sign with the LCD and some interactive graphics.

Cant wait to see that
