Wh20 for me. It's just goddamn fun.

Quoted from T7:

If you focus on the VUK, you will also get the primary multiball - and the boulder awards are most of the modes in the game.
Wet Willies and Vacation Jackpot are great/fun goals, but most people are not going to get them very often (if at all).

Gotta disagree there. Bottom PF, besides rafts, gotta use the 3 bank to recharge Kickback and complete rafts. Use that ramp do get your hold bonus for your level 6 raft. Use the other ramp to avoid blowing MBs.
I can see people getting bored of it because it's pretty formulaic, but that doesn't bother me. For me the score is extremely balanced and its aboot doing things perfectly and getting punished for not thinking ahead.

Quoted from T7:

IMO balanced scoring and fun various modes are more important than...

Don't know if "balanced" scoring goes along with Shadow loops?

Quoted from Maken:

When you factor in risk/reward, which is what makes great pinball, Shadow loops are definitely balanced.

Glue + dolls are what make a pinball great these days

Shadow has Mongol dolls! Haha!

Well I meant aftermarket. Obviously Wh20 haws a real doll with hair and everything

Quoted from RTS:

The 6 river classes is probably the easiest item to achieve...

Wh2o is just much easier to control the ball to feed the flippers for controlled shooting.

1. With the home roms it is

2. Hmm...that's probably case by case. Some Wh20s can be frantic with the lost mine kick out & some are very easy to control.
TS is actually pretty forgiving with the ball coming down the middle...which is probably the most dangerous place.

Close call..I don;t feel like either one is super hard to get to wizard.

The mode start and khan are probably harder than any needed shot in wh20, if you even count the boulder garden.

As for tranquiize, if we are talking straight tournament /league shadow is pretty simple with shadow loops... But I guess they're hard on yours, yours must be special

Right but you don't have to hit them consecutively.

Quoted from jonesjb:

I wonder what the most common pin featured in these comparison ‘Vs’ threads is?

I'll always feel like some combination of DM, JD, & JM will always be at the top...could just seem like it to me though.
