Your TFTC made a small child...creepy haha

I don't own one, but that is a tough shot for sure...one of my fave games of all time, it's what originally got me hooked on pinball as a kid

I'm able to make the right ramp shot about once in 50 tries.

Love the "Trick Shot" award from a half-loop.

all day long. muscle memory.

Trick Shot pretty often, but full loop maybe once or twice per game if I'm lucky.
Very tough shot and a real challenge to hit the double jackpot during multiball.

I find that no matter how much I practice the shot, it is still a challenge.
Much more so than Borg's other killer shot - Gem on TRON.

WHAT ?!?!?

That pic initially gave me the creeps. Like the red under the machine.

Awesome. So glad you've caught the love for pinball.

TFTC is a great game.

Be sure to take a good look at the alternate translite - original art from the EC Comics rather than the somewhat lame HBO art. Well worth the money IMO.

Enjoy !!

Pretty rarely, but always a satisfying one when I hit it.

Same situation with shooting the crypt from the lower right flipper.

Use my trick for hitting the right ramp, works 90% of the time. I just aim for the right spinner, and I get the right ramp! In all seriousness, I find it easier to make from the right flipper. Glad you like the game.

Phet - here's my Data East Row:

I usually replace the lift channel and all of the top and edge trim pieces at the same time.

Makes it all fresh and the plastic trim pieces are not expensive. (from PBL)

It depends on the day. On a good day I can hit it at will. On a bad day I cannot get close. I have to use the left flipper, I cannot get a full loop from the right. I can backhand a trick shot but that is usually all from the right flipper.

Overall I would say I hit it about 1 out of 5 shots.

I have the toppers for them all, but the ceiling is too damn low

It's a temp house, so I can wait <sigh>.

Once I rebuilt the flippers on my TFTC, I can make consecutive full right ramp shots frequently. It became much more consistent than a trick shot. In fact, I rarely make the trick shot anymore since the rebuild (less than 5% - it completely reversed.) For me, the right ramp is always done from the lower left flipper. I need to try a right backhand to see if it improves dropping the ball for the trick shot.

During multiball, my success rate drops. I usually flip too early, or ricochet off another ball. Both the full ramp or the trick shot will score the double jackpot during multiball.

I've had my TFTC for about two weeks and love it. I'll post some sick mods I already have in it later when I get home!!!

Multiball I can get my rate up if I can catch a few balls and hold them out of the way. I just started hitting the ramp backhand. I was surprised it would get over there. Sometimes almost enough power to make a full loop but never made it full backhand......yet.

I just picked one up a week ago, and I have issues with hitting that right ramp, but then again I'm not that great of a player

Is it even possible to hit the crypt with a lower flipper? I haven't yet, except with a lucky bounce.

I do love the game though, it's very hard for me to walk away even on a bad night.

I love this game but I'm not very good. Plan on getting some action with the family in tonight and this long weekend. I think in the 100 games I've played since owning it I've hit the Right Ramp probably 6 times... Doh!

maybe one in 20ish, I can get a double jackpot off the trick shot pretty easily if I can cradle the other one or two out there and have a clean shot.
I need to start trying to back hand it from the right now, I have never tried that trick.

Very nice looking games,Russ!

I am a fan of the show which makes me want the game even more. Just like TZ I like the show as well. I am glad both came out to be great pins as well. I am not sure if you’re allowed to own the game if not a fan of the show and the pinball police or gods will remove it from you and give it to me. J/K! I think I might have a local lead on one finally.

This is the TFTC CLUB Phetish! All those posting here are in the club.

Sometimes I'm on fire on the right ramp - once I actually nailed it 4 solid times in a row. That was an amazing experience. Most of the time though, the right ramp is a VERY tough shot to hit. I did get a full-shot on it yesterday for a whopping double jackpot .

Had anybody put the alternative trans light in? thoughts ?

My buddy has it and I love it! Crypt Jam is awesome!! post your high scores on the site. I've got #2 but there are only 4 total. This game next to a Frankenstein makes a lot of sense to me.

Almost never to be honest. Very tough shot. With my Cliffy installed the Creature Feature hole is tough too. It use to just fall in if it rolled by, but now you really need to nail that shot. Only makes playing it that much better! Hard game with all the air balls.

Do you get alot of them?
I really don't get too many airballs on mine, It's nice and fast though. I should probably kick it up a few degrees to speed her up.

First part no, second part yes.That show kicked ass and so would a Creepshow pin.

If the cliffy and hole are set up right it won't be any impact at all. I spent a couple hours making my feature scoop shot right. If it bounces out you may need to bend the roof of the scoop down so it's slightly lower to the playfield. If the cliffy is installed well it should be very flat. Worst case, you can pop a piece of mylar on the edge of the cliffy and scoop hole to smoother the transition. But it really shouldn't be any noticable difference with or without the cliffy. I can make the scoop shot very reliably from left, right, or upper flipper (unless I'm sucking).

From left flipper, I hit the right ramp maybe 1 out of 5 or 6 tries. Very tough shot indeed. I don't even TRY for that shot until/unless a multiball has started. (Fast scoring and double jackpot) Great game!

I'll try to bend the scoop down. The Cliffy is pretty flat. Patched up the hole and sanded it flat before I installed it. Air balls seem to come from the drop targets. They bend back and act as a mini ramp for the ball. Out of all my machines that ramp shot is in the top 3 hardest but ohhhh how satisfying.

So hitting the two ramps in TFTC , especially the right is harder than GNR. I wonder if this will make me back off from this game and go after GNR. I enjoy hitting the ramps in all games so much.

Every time I try for the axetra ball extra hard. I almost always make that ramp over and over. It is a very tight shot though and very hard to hit on a regular basis when intended. IMO

Man I miss my TFTC =-(
