A question for you pinball champs.
For those of you who have played this game and F-14 Tomcat, how do they compare in difficulty? Both games have ball stealing. I ask because I have an F-14 and I think it is hard.

Disregard my previous statement.
F-14 does have lock stealing as explained below by barakandl

Added over 6 years ago: PAPA dosen't consider this lack stealing though for some reason. It is a form of it though you could say.

No, I would agree!
My concern however, is if it would be a good game to own along side of a F-14, or too difficult. My wife gets pretty annoyed with F-14.

Glad to hear it. So I may buy one after all!
I thought the same about F-14 pins I saw in the wild. They are never dialed in and working right and always have roached playfields. Well, I fully restored one with new repro playfield and rebuilt everything and all LED lighting with OCD led controller and it is no wood chopper. It is an adrenalin rush!
And yes, the light show is spectacular! It is a shame most people will never get to play one in this condition. But ya, the rule set is shallow. Doesn't matter with this game, it's the speed!!
