I think it does a great job balancing humor and intensity just like the show. The show is horror adjacent. It’s not a comedy series even if there are funny parts/characters.

I'm sorry, but you ate my cat!

True, but I still find myself chuckling more when the demogorgan is standing there all proud and sure of himself and then gets whacked in the head by a massive silver ball... for some reason...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Stranger Things is humourless, just that AFM is humor based... only beaten my MM in my opinion, which I still think is the funniest game out there..

Brian has certainly been pushing to add humor to this game.

Which is why Bullshit! mode really needs to have slapping mode added as a level 2 of the mode next time you get it so you can slap with the lockdown button every time it's said.

Please no. Please, please, please no. TSPP has it, as does WoZ, and GB, and CCC. That's about 3 games too many.

Where is it used in Ghostbusters ??

Ah okay

Didn’t realize it was used

Still think it’s a neat idea

Not like it’ll actually happen ...

Houdini has that also.

Inverted? You mean they flip down instead of up??

Finally broke a billion and still not close to Final Showdown. Lol.

How about inverted AND reversed lmao.

Houdini is literally the ONLY one that does it that I like, because it's in straightjacket escape so crossing your arms makes sense in the context of the mode. GREAT theme integration.

Everywhere else? I hate reverse flippers.

I just had one of my longest games ever. I think nearly 40 minutes and only made it to total isolation 2. Didn't even come close to my high of just over 1 billion either. Only 640 million. I was really fumbling my multiballs and even though I went into both TI's with 2x playfield and mystery lit but I just couldn't manage anything. That 640 million was hard fought for sure. I was even having trouble hitting the demogorgon tonight. It's amazing how much higher your scores can be. My highest score ever I only made it to TI 1 but wow was I making bank on demo modes and TK multiball bonuses.

Ooh, I've never even heard of inverted. That is such a cool idea for the upside down.

I want it! Never seen inverted either... Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but the only snag with doing this on a Spike 2 game, from what I can gather, is that they're not designed to have the flippers held up for very long, or they burn... so I doubt they'd code that in...

I would like this if they were only inverted and not reversed. But I doubt it would be added on Stranger Things

Anyone in the SF Bay Area ready to leave the club? I'm looking for a Premium or LE.

Spike2 games perform fine with the flipper trapped up for long periods of time. It makes almost no temperature change difference at all. The pulse that raises the flipper is what causes the heat over time. SAM and Whitestar systems that came before, not so much.

Chuck, I officially hate you. I'd never heard of inverted flippers before, and now I'll never play the upside down without thinking about it.

Has anyone had their game freeze or lock up and skip after completing can't stop this? If I get it in the mouth it freezes up

Was in the middle of 2nd ball nearing my absolute best score :/

No. But I guess you really can stop this.

tried fo 5 mins but then it went full dark aside from screen so i reset

Mine was the same, I could still use flippers. but it was mostly dark and sounds was all skipping and nearly non existent. the reason I had to wait 5 mins is cus the ball finally went behind somewhere that stops the ball (left inner loop) after 5 mins I just reset

for what i remember, my son did get something similar (not home pin), but quite sure it was after send it back (should be a know bug/previous code !?)

maybe but I am using the most recent code.

this has happened at least the last 3 times I have done it. so really its 99.9% a code bug I did report though. also if I fail the mode its all fine I think.

You'd think for the price they charge for machines nearing the price of a low end car. That they'd at least play through an entire games modes to see what happens lmao.

Not hard to play with glass off and toss ball around to complete modes lmao.

Any word on what the video mode is going to be Chuck? I’m borrowing a pro this coming week to get some proper time on this game.

I like the idea of BSD style with a third, center position for the action button. Could get NUTS!

Hey guys, is there a setting to turn down the overall brightness of all the leds? During start up of my premium the projector kicks on first without any lights and looks so great! Then the lights kick on and it really washes out the picture on the projector. Was wondering if I could dial it all down a little? I went into rgb test mode and lowered the settings but it doesn’t save it. Thanks!

Yeah, it's near the end of the standard adjustments on the game system menu, I think. There's settings for flasher and LED brightness. I usually turn them down to about 70%.

Thanks so much! And I’m loving your fans btw! Keeping the coils nice and cool!

Great to hear! Thanks for your support. Stranger Things is the one so far that I have no hesitation recommending them for if you play the game for any length of time because the fade comes pretty quickly and is pretty severe.
