So I joined the club with a Premium this past Saturday! This was a NIB, with a build date of Feb 2020. I think it had 0.82 loaded on it, now has 1.02. I went through this thread and came up with a list I worked through before playing my first game. Huge thanks to everyone here for posting fixes, Service Bulletins etc!

I got the TK lock dialed in pretty well, even though I have the non-adjustable ramp cover. I am going to request the ramp cover anyway just in case I need it in the future.
The demogorgan adjustment took awhile, but I am pretty happy with it now. One thing I noticed is that my demogorgan was slightly mounted crooked. They missed the pilot holes when putting this together at the factory. I don't think this made much of a difference, but every bit helps right?

Quick shout out to my escalera too, since I have a non-walkout basement. That is such a back saver!

Quoted from Mike7599:
Hey guys finally got around to updating my code. What’s the deal with the button turning red when fighting the demogorgon? I pressed it and it instantly gave me 5000 points and the ramp shut?

That is the demogorgon bomb. You only get one for the game. Instantly kills the current demogorgon

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:
question is the Cleland code just for sounds or does it actually change other things?

If you do the right flipper code with the Cleland code AND start an Upside Down mode, you actually enter the upside down!! The machine turns into the portal!
Ok, just kidding haha. Just a nice subtle sound upgrade. Perfect addition to an amazing shooting machine.

I have to just thank chuckwurt and all that have weighed in on how to get this game dialed in. This game is a blast. Like some others, I have never seen the show, but after playing the game I finally got all caught up, and it is funny when you are playing a mode and it is like "Ohhhh that is what Lure Dart means" haha.

I have the replacement ramp tk lock cover from Stern, but haven't installed it yet, as my bastardized orig ramp cover is working pretty good.

Last thing; favorite part of the game: Extra ball. Come on! Is it just me that a monster from the upside down getting smacked in the side of the face is funny ?!

Quoted from RobT:
You do realize that that is an homage to Attack from Mars right? Same designer...

Lol. Of course I do. Is that a bad thing? I mean Brian Eddy was at the last LAX when I played it the last time (and saw the super secret "uv mod" too)

OP
Quoted from chuckwurt:
It’s the same EB animation as AFM.

Yeah which I think is perfect for doing so!

OP
Quoted from chuckwurt:
For sure. And total isolation, and 5 way combo. And the overall structure of the code is very similar to AFM.
Demodog mode is like Martian attack too.
Would’ve been cool for him to do a similar video mode to AFM too.

Video mode would totally rock, but I am not disappointed with how the game is now for sure

Quoted from RobT:
What kind of GC scores are you guys getting?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:
same here, I think I am not playing it right. I get my OCD to the max with finishing modes and I tend to drain often.

Yeah my best is 980 mil, and I guess I have a bit of OCD with this game too lol. I get tricked into finishing a stack when I see just 1 insert left and then NOPE! Drain. Oh well. Great shooter for sure!

OP
Quoted from chuckwurt:
Yes it’s possible. Did you follow the key post top to bottom?
I should probably add a part that emphasizes the need to stick something between the ramp and the back wall to push the ramp out more. That’s very important.

I have extremely appreciated the key posts in this thread for getting everything dialed in on my game. The TK lock is great. My demo shot is almost perfect from the left flipper. The right it hits a little low, and I know I can get it dialed in right, but just been lazy haha.

OP
Quoted from chuckwurt:
