Haven't played one, and can't seem to find any info on average game length. So, I'm hoping y'all can provide some feedback as far as what your typical game time is and a sense for your skill level. (Yes, I know that you can adjust things to make the game more/less difficult. I'm just curious to know what people are seeing).

I have a WOZ now that we all love to play; however, it can be painful to sit and watch someone play a ball for, what seems like, 30 minutes. The only thing more painful is to be the person playing that ball. I am ADD/ADHD so I lose interest and, besides, my fingers start hurting. We still really like the game and won't be getting rid of it; however, when I only have 10-15 minutes to kill, I don't even think about hitting the start button. Sounds like the Beatles may be the ticket to ride.

Quoted from ernierains:

No, didn’t cheat, but haven’t had that kind of luck in a while. Achieved it with the 4 ball multi-ball. The key is hitting extra ball and/or keeping the ball going so you get credit for all five songs.

Out of curiosity, about how long did that game take to play as I assume it had to be one of the, if not the, longest you've ever played.

I've asked before; however, now that the game has been out awhile, what are people seeing as far as average game time (3 balls, default settings)?
Thanks

Adaminski Thanks for the info....I normally quote the post, but yours is so long I figured I'd save the space.

Anyhow, very helpful. I'm looking at adding a quick-playing game that you can play when you don't have a lot of time and as my wife and I are big Beatles fans, this one is under consideration.

Quoted from Psw757:

If you like the Beatles the game is a must have because game play and theme integration are about perfect. Nice to have a difficult but easy to understand game in the lineup.

I agree, plus, lots of times I'd much rather play a half dozen 5-minute games than one 30 minute game. I'm thinking I may keep an eye out for one.

Quoted from Budman:

I had non pinhead couples in my home recently and they all gravitated to Beatles over BM66 and wedgeheads. It’s fast, bright, approachable and fun; perfect for multi player games.

That's the thing. When our son comes over, the three of us will often play a game of WOZ. If he needs to leave within 30 minutes, it's not worth starting. Now, we aren't great players and most of the time we can play a game in well under 30 minutes; however, if anyone has a great ball, they can eat up most of that time. Plus given my ADHD, I can get bored when it's my ball!
(And our son is probably a bigger Beatles fan than we are, which is saying something)

I have very limited space and a good bit is filled with non-video arcade games, so I have to be picky. I'll just sit patiently waiting for a good deal to pop up...at least until some other shiny object catches my eye (remember, ADHD)

I was trying to find a matrix to show the differences between the gold and platinum edition...does one exist out there?

#428 4 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

The Matrix is easy. Armor color and a lighter wallet! lol I bought the Gold and Very happy with that choice. Such a great game of old meets new. One of my top 5 go to pins currently and by no means easy. I like yourself held out till Rational pricing came out. Lucked out with a 6700 delivered NIB price popped up which I feel is the fair price for this game. 8k not so much...

I hear that. I do like the side art of the Platinum edition a bit better so if a killer deal came up on a Platinum, I might be able to convince myself that it is worth the delta. As for the Diamond, I can't imagine any scenario where I would consider it. Since I never buy a game with the intention of selling (I hate selling games), the underlying 'investment' component is meaningless to me. Doesn't mean I wouldn't sell it down the road, just that depreciation/appreciation doesn't factor into my thinking. I have the attitude that selling the game ain't gonna be my problem, it'll be my kids.

OK, so here'e the funny thing...I'm half Swedish. My father, the Swede, passed away after my mother so I understand all too well the pain and difficulty of that process.....

However....for my entire life I have kept things far too long only to finally need them the day after I threw them away. It is a gift or actually probably a Swedish curse of some sort. So you will forgive me if I am a bit gun-shy about this Swedish purge thing. As my father would say "Yumpin Yiminey don't throw that away!"

What are people seeing with respect to the clearcoat and chipping? I saw some posts from about four months ago, but nothing since. Now, I'm not one to pull out the 10x loupe to inspect a playfield, but am interested in people's thoughts on this and any other wear/age related issues that would not be expected based on the amount of play their game has received.
