The more I play this game, the more I like it. Just like ACDC, this pin is going nowhere.

I'll be upgrading to a premium for sure.

OK Stephane, what time should I drop by?

whenever,i will be playing the Hell out of it this Long weekend,do you still have my # ?

Stern Nailed the LoOk and the Toys,for the rules and stuff (codes) still some work to be done
The Hammer needs a big sound and lights need some tweaking but i am already having a blast
playing it!

Yes it is a software but. I noted that in a previous thread about 1.13 code

I think I've been awarded it from the right but ONLY when the left is lit, ala Johnny Mnemonic and its buggy software for rollover inserts being lit.

I also go for the real skill shot (the one where you short plunge so that might make a difference. I often get the regular skill shot via a bad shot to the left or right orbit and the skill shot is still blinking.

If there is a portion of the ruleset Lyman needs to improve on all his games, it's the skill shot and the risk/reward Vs. skill factor: rarely is the risk worth the reward nor the skill required worth the reward--BDK notwithstanding.

Don't forget AC/DC. Most games before and after are best soft plunged. AC/DC has the VIP pass tied to the skill shots. Short plunging on AC/DC is a horrible idea. The only question is how many VIP passes you want to go for.

I short plunge MET every time. You can pretty easily live catch the ball on the right flipper without starting the timer for the ball saver. Post pass over to the left flipper (timer still hasn't started), then take a shot at Sparky or the drops. You can get 3 hits on Sparky or all 3 drops before the ball saver runs out if you make your shots.

Why not hold the left flipper and go for the super skill shot? Holding the flipper sends it through the orbit and then hit sparky or whatever you said before ball save runs out and you get the 375k super skill award?

My thinking is that the potential payoff when I start Sparky or Grave multiball is much higher than 375K. I'd rather take the risky shots early while the ball saver is running. At a minimum, I want to start Sparky and Grave MB at least once each game. Once one is running, progressing Coffin and hits to light EB are an added positive side effect of the MB, besides the big jackpots. In the big picture, 375K really isn't than many points. I expect to get 50M+ points on a good game. 100M+ on a really good game.

Skill shots are fun, but often aren't a good idea in the big picture. I learned this by watching players better than me. When you get a chance to watch or play with better players, watch what they do when they plunge. The really good players will often ignore skill shots. Making a super skill shot can be a flashy way to start a game, but the guy with the most points at the end wins every time. On most newer Stern's, soft plunging is usually the way to go. AC/DC is a pleasant exception.

I just finished playing...I LOVE THAT GAME...

Like PDX said no wasted shots in there all is for something and with the 3 other modes
coming :
Band Member Modes
Crank It Up Modes
END OF THE LINE Wizard Mode - Not yet

Can not wait to see that,i hope next code will fix of the buggy coffin lock, its very late
after it calls up Multiball,all that was good on 1.11 version

And i really hope,(i said it a bunch of time but i will say it again) that Mystery hole needs to be fill
with CoOl Stuff Please,Thank you
