Quoted from SpookyCharlie:

They all do... literally inspected every game that has ever left here. I care and stuff!
Summer help will be back and we'll keep everything moving as fast as we can. TnA is still solo on the line and will be for a while... hoping to get it fairly caught up before Alice starts rolling. Tall task to say the least with it still selling well!
Ahhhhhh yes, the growing pains of a small pinball company. Good problems, but still problems.

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

1 and 3 vs. 2 and 4.

Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

I’ve been told me #112 is on the line this week. Will be at The Sanctum as soon as I get it.

Quoted from Goonie:

As a great man once said..."After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true"
- Spock

That said, where's my game!?!? #168 butter...almost there!

Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

You can just come play ours until you wait silly on Monday’s. I’m all paid up

Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

Info’s all public. The Sanctum. Open every Monday night from 6:30 to somewhere between midnight and 1AM. 47 games on freeplay. 10$ door fee. Big commercial fridge for BYOB. Weekly leagues and tournaments here every Monday.
290 Pratt St Meriden CT. East entrance. 2nd floor.

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

Don't worry, I am adding things like Co Op Mode, Co Op 2v2 VS Mode, more sound effects, bug fixes, lighting adjustments, advanced operator adjustments, reliability improvements, etc.
I will not change the gameplay as it is (in my opinion) amazing as it stands.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

I keep seeing references to a "Butter Cabinet". Can someone explain what that is to me?

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

Just my notes from the Side Rails install which is really easy.
Removing the side rails is easy, a bunch of screws and 2 nut/bolts. Hardest part is that Spooky glue gun the flipper bolt so you have to get some of that out to turn the nut. Also easier if you loosen one of the screws on the flipper switch and rotate that out of the way.
When overlaying the lighted strip you do have to ensure that the lighted bit isn't going to be pierced by two screws, as two of them do go through the top plastic area. Its hard to get it wrong. Also worth connecting the power supply before so you can test easily. On my TNA the rear glass slot was tighter on one side which made threading the wire through on one side a bit hard. When I tightened it all up the screws the el-paper whine that you nearly always get with this stuff reduced quite a lot which was a nice bonus. Must have mod in my view
Neil.

Quoted from Vino:

Interesting, thought this one recently jumped over 400?

Quoted from Whysnow:

nah, distributors often buy spares of hot games. In this case it is smart for distributors to commit for an additional game in cue every so often to ensure they can sell an earlier spot to a new customer. 1 of the benefits of using a distributor sometimes

Quoted from Whysnow:

No issues here on number 2.
Still looks fantastic! Best pf in the industry by far!

Quoted from 27dnast:

How did you route the wires?

Quoted from 27dnast:

Got the rail lights installed... ran the wires like frankmac ... was easy as pie. Here’s some pics of this beast:

Quoted from HOOKED:

I’ll finally get a install vid lol.
More good news for those purchasing side rail kits. Going forward all will have a remotely wired button to quickly change the light mode. On solid, slow pulse and fast pulse will be easilly changed without having to lift up the playfield. Peraonally i like them lit always but we added the remote button due to feedback.
We also get to measure out for our next tasteful addition. Keep notes with your machine # my good fellas.

Quoted from Rascal_H:

Nice place! I could get so much more house if I didn’t live in the northeast.

Quoted from Rascal_H:

Yep! Want to sell it back? Haha.
Think I’m going to ask for another invoice to finish paying for my TNA... just do it feels closer.

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

Be sure to update that software!!!

Quoted from rai:

Quoted from rotordave:

I had the TnA set up at the Macs Interstate Pinball Classic here at my place yesterday.
I didn’t put it in the Comp, I had it available for everyone to play all day.
This is the first time any of them had seen it in the flesh, and the reception was overwhelmingly positive. It was played non stop all day.

Quoted from Pmaino:

I probably average getting to reactor 2. My best was getting up to reactor 6 until last night. Had the game of my life and was one shot away from destroying reactor 8. Such a rush. Best game ever!

Quoted from 27dnast:

What settings? Factory?

Quoted from 27dnast:

What settings? Factory?

Quoted from lpeters82:

I probably average two reactors. A good game for me is three, a great game is four. Yesterday, I was playing a quick game at lunch and drained with the third reactor critical with two balls locked. That was exciting for me. This might be a dumb question, but what is your go to shot from the left flipper? If the grid is completed, I will backhand the scoop to start the reactor. Otherwise I typically go for the lock, but I have much less confidence then shooting it with the right flipper.

Quoted from DJNOEL30:

Well 3 weeks to get on the line, they still have to build and ship it so I guess it depends how long that takes.

Quoted from DJNOEL30:

All I need now is the white hair and that Venderbilt money!!

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

Hey there!!! Another TNA code update is here! This is a short, but good one.
I have fixed a few bugs and added what I like to call “Speed Runs” to kill each reactor. What do I mean you ask? The game now displays reactor uptime on the display telling you exactly how many seconds each reactor has been online for. The timer starts as soon as the reactor start scoop has been hit and stops when the reactor is destroyed. These speed times are stored in the high score table as “Reactor X Speed Run Champ”. There are 10 of these. One for each reactor and one for Total Annihilation!
Every second counts when battling these reactors so be sure to skip the reactor startup animation and be sure to skip the bonus count at the end of your ball. Your reactor uptime pauses if another player is up, but the timer does not pause until after the bonus count.
Have fun everyone!

Code Update Procedure:
WARNING: Updating code on your game will reset your audits and settings on the game after the update procedure. However, these audits and settings are automatically dumped to the USB stick as a backup for your reference. I am planning to add functionality to save audits within the game in the future.
Step 1: Download the latest “pkg” file from the link above.
Step 2: Copy the “pkg” file to a USB flash drive. Do not change the name of the file, should be named “tna-gamecode.pkg”.
Step 3: Power off the game and remove the backglass.
Step 4: Insert the USB flash drive into an open USB port on the PC located on the right side within the backbox.
Step 5: Power on the machine, a message should appear saying that the software is updating.
Step 6: Once the code update is complete, remove the USB flash drive and restart the machine.

Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

TNA will be used in the Pintastic New England Show for a charity side event along with the main event we run. It will be a reactor chase battle. Whoever has the most reactors at vendor hall and tournament closing on Saturday night wins half the prize pool. Other half to a charity close to me, The Andrea Ritz Clinics in Paraguay. If there is a tie for most reactors destroyed the score will break the tie.
This charity event will encourage Co Op mode. For a single player to enter a game will cost 2$. To play a 2 player Co Op game it will cost 5$ to enter. To play a 3 player Co Op game it will cost 10$ to enter. To play a 4 player Co Op game it will cost 20$ to enter.
See everyone at Pintastic in June!
-Jim

Quoted from Rascal_H:

Sorta related question... are TNA playfields hinged like a Williams or flopsie wopsie (I think that’s the official term).

Quoted from RustyLizard:

Number 14 holding up strong. Looking to be one of my all time favorite games.

Quoted from tatman9999:

Did you figure this out? Just installed mine and have no clue where they plug in.

Quoted from Chicoman:

TNA is everything I was hoping Iron Maiden would be. Maiden is complete garbage thrown together with a license slapped on it and TNA is a work of GENIUS!

Quoted from DJNOEL30:

#230 in the home, all systems go!

Quoted from robotron:

i am driving tomorrow 9 hrs round trip for a tna with a buttercab. hope some friends will be over friday. bring some coin with them.
