Tales from the Crypt
Data East, 1993I've been torn about the tilt setting on my TFTC.
I have it set so you can do a a fair amount of nudging but you will get a warning from time to time. I don't know if I should tighten it up to make playing more difficult because of the built in reward the software gives you for a death save.
So my question is to anyone else who has a TFTC, how sensitive is your tilt?
Death saves are a no no in my house.
Tilt would catch you most of the time, but the bigger issue is what happens if i do! 
I like loose tilt. If it was all flipper they'd call it flipperball. Nudging is half the fun. OTOH I can see a strong case for not kicking the machine.
I think you guys are right even though it's in the code I shouldn't be bumped hard enough to pull it off. Are there any other games that reward you for a death save?
Quoted from pinBilly:Sometimes, the ball shoots down the outlane and it only takes a little nudge to do a death save, I've pulled it off without slamming or kicking it before. Just sayin.
If one has the proper form to perform it with a nudge, go for it but kicking the legs is not good form IMO

How do you like your TFTC. I am on the hunt for one out here in AZ. It will be my only pin like you so I am curious if it holds your attention. As for the TILT setting on TFTC can you adjust to have no tilt becuase I like to nudge and move the machine forward a little while playing but never worth a death save especailly on my own machine. Did you get a good deal on your game?
Quoted from playboywillis:You all act like two quick slides and your pins gonna fall apart
I am talking about kicking the legs to do it, that is crap. Using hands to try it is not too going to bother me but are the machines designed to be slid across the floor? No they are not.
Quoted from Acampero:I let people hump my TFTC if they want to
What a great pin...
You said "hump"....lol
Quoted from Acampero:That pin gets more action then I do...
Lol

I love it I had had it for over a year and still play all the time. I really learned how to play on TSPP so I like a deep rule set. The shots are tight and satisfying, fast orbit if you go to the left. The modes are all fun except for skull crackin'. The list of modes to accomplish before crypt jam is enough that it takes a good long game to beat it.
I don't know if mine is set up odd but I can never hit that captive ball five times in one game.
I am very happy with mine.
As for what I paid I'm satisfied with my money spent. It's in good shape and I had been waiting for one to pop up around STL for months so I jumped on the first one I found that was nice.
I will say LED's can be dangerous in this game.
Mine is fully done and I have to keep the lights on when I play or I fear seizures.
