There is no denying Total Nuclear Annihilation is an awesomely themed game built to the highest quality of pinball standards. With an amazing sound system and perhaps the best.... well perhaps the best music since pinball games started playing music.
However, there are a few things holding it back from having that universal appeal with a large portion of the modern pinball playing and buying public. Three of the biggest complaints I have heard-
1. Danesi and Spooky cheaped out by not putting any plastic ramps on it
2. It is too difficult to get to the upper playfield area when not in reactor mode
3. The scoop fires back at the flippers too fast for the average pinball player
An observation of my own is it is too easy to hit the scoop and the center stand-up targets
Since I have not seen anybody else in the pinball community address any of these issues, I took it upon myself to see what I could come up with. I'm not good at making parts, so I fished around and found an old No Fear ramp that was pretty well busted up on the back end, but otherwise looked to be perfect for the job. So I cut it down, grabbed some other useful hardware, and prepared to go to work.
