I had never seen or played a TNA before TPF. To be honest, I didn't understand what all the fuss was over - no modes, no ramps, no toys, minimal cab/playfield artwork. But yet - all my friends that had one kept telling me how awesome it was. Heck - Bryan Kelly actually owns *2* TNAs!

On TPF Thursday night, some friends introduced my son and I to Scott. Scott is a super cool guy and spent a full 20 minutes walking us through the ruleset and features of the game. After a couple of games, I finally get it. It's frustrating, yet addictive. It shoots like butter and allows you to consistently make shots if you have the skills...and consistently fail if you don't. It has great visual feedback and audio feedback as well. But here's why I love the game - it's the first pinball I've played that makes me *want* to become better at pinball. My son came to TPF with virtually no pinball skills - but he left TPF knowing how to do dead passes, post passes, flick passes and multiball cradles. Finally, after 13 years - my son is starting to love pinball and learn the skills to play better.

My son purchased a translite and we were fortunate enough to have everyone involved in the game sign it at Spooky's booth.

Thanks Scott for an amazing game - I hope to be owning one of these very soon.

I wouldn't want to change the music....but maybe an option to randomize the reactor songs would be nice. That way I'll actually be able to hear the music for reactors 5,6,7,8,9 in my lifetime.

Yes - I purchased all of the songs on iTunes so at least I have heard the others....just never from the pinball itself.

Haha - that's how I'm able to hear 3 & 4.

Lol - your odds of winning the lottery are probably better than landing that.

Ok Billy Mitchell...I'm gonna need a video before I acknowledge this one is legit.

The full soundtrack is also available on Amazon and iTunes. I purchased it to ensure I could at least experience reactor 5/6/7 music somewhere (as I'll rarely if ever hear it from the game).

Can you post a pic?

I’m going to try these as I prefer clear.

What date was yours made?

I didn’t find these when I searched PBL.

Pink or purple? Where did you buy them from?

Did anyone splurge for the rather expensive power accessory board from PBL or is everyone just using lots of splitters?

...and are out of stock in the hinge lights.

The ones that I purchased are similar - but were a 20 pack:

I have the black neoprene from Spooky. The clear ones I ordered are identical width, but about 2x thicker (2mm). They both feel about the same "squishy"-ness.

FYI - the 40 pack ones are even thicker at 2.5mm.

Scott - JP is finally in the club!

Quick question - there are 4 wires heading into the sub box. Are there simply 2 voice coils on the sub?

If I wanted to hook up an external sub instead of the internal one, I assume either pair would work as speaker level inputs on the external sub?

The new flipper hold strength is fantastic - I noticed it immediately. Just that change alone is worth updating for. Thanks Scott!

Argh! I got bit by the beta bug on our best coop game ever. Reactor 4 online, multiball, ball inside the reactor working towards critical - got it to 86 and everything froze - the flippers and solenoids quit working, but the music continued to play. Here is a screen pic of the game frozen:

I did end up disconnecting the internal sub and using speaker level inputs on an external sub - now the bass is soooooo much stronger and cleaner. It also eliminated a lot of rattling in the game as the internal sub no longer functions. It’s a huge improvement - highly recommended!

The game still vibrates plenty via the shaker using an external sub. I would encourage you to give the external sub a try and see if you still feel the same. Clipping/distortion aside, there really is a *big* difference in sound quality and output using the external sub.

FYI, here are the updated links for the LCD replacement (the ones in the initial post are sold out):

LCD:
ebay.com link: Lg Philips Lp156wf1 tl b2 Replacement LAPTOP LCD Screen 15 6 LED LP156WF1 TLB2

Controller:
ebay.com link: NT68676 HDMI DVI VGA LCD Controller Board for 15 6 1920X1080 LP156WF1 TLB2

The LCD is stateside, the controller comes from China (about 3 weeks of shipping time). I was pretty impressed with how much difference this made - the blacks are actually black instead of gray and everything is much cleaner and more vivid. Certainly worth it for $85.

I’d say 20 minutes maybe - 4 screws to remove LCD, 4 screws in controller board, 4 tiny screws holding monitor to frame. The controller -> LCD cable seems fragile - just go slow and be gentle!

I tried to tilt mine but it didn’t make much of a difference.

All you need is a length of speaker wire. Unplug the 4 wires on the amp going to the internal sub. Plug the new speaker wire into one set of the terminals you just unplugged (you won’t use the other 2 terminals). Then run the other end to the external sub and plug into the speaker level inputs. I chose to run the wires through the power switch hole so I wouldn’t have to remove staples from the mesh covered ventilation holes - but either route gets the job done. Just be sure to unplug the game if you go through the power switch as there is live electricity in there regardless of the game being on or off.

Beta is awesome...except my very small request to add a setting for randomizing the reactor tracks is still MIA. Or at least an option to randomize reactors 2-8?...leaving "Beepgate" for 1 and "Last Mission" intact for 9. *I'm assuming "Last Mission" is the track for 9....because I suck.

A default setting of "no" leaves the game as is for the purists..."yes" for those of us that like to shake things up!

Version 1.4.0.B8 Beta

Setting Mystery Tilt Warning Award -> OFF

Causes my game to reboot upon pressing the start button. No other settings have been altered. A factory reset or changing the setting to something other than OFF resolves the issue.

I think they look good! I’m guessing he has the contrast lowered on his phone in order to not look too bright and washed out. LEDs are so hard to capture on tiny phone lenses.

Most people's 1.0s have even more options than the 2.0s.

From 2.0 options, mine has:
Plastic Protectors
Knocker
Shaker
Custom Laser Cut Side Rails
Lit Speaker Kit and Grills
Lighted Drop Targets

Plus these:
RGB ball save display (is this not on 2.0?)
Lit side rails
LED front legs (pink)
LED shooter (pink)
LED undercab (pink)
LED flipper buttons (pink)
Upgraded IPS LCD
Factory mirror blades
Flash Instinct stickers
Upgraded pop bumper
External sub

It's a great game - I'm glad more people are able to get one!

Not sure that makes sense - TNA 2.0 is a misnomer - it's not a different game, just a rerun.

Yea, I'll put money down that they sell out in less than 24 hours.

I don't think the people posting here are indicative of the actual buyers.

$50 (USD) - I'll take that bet. I win if it sells out in less than 24 hours, you win if it takes longer.

Agree!

Used TNAs in excellent condition have been $8-$9k in the market for a while - they would have been higher if not for the remake rumors.

Building more TNAs will actually keep the used prices down for a while.

But, at the end of the day - there will still only be 800 of them in the wild which is an extremely small number compared to other titles.

Heh - median prices. If anyone wants to sell me their JPLE for median price, I'm a buyer!

A mean price using the previous year of sales would be more useful.

I'm not sure how you arrived at that.

When you sell a game, you can elect to enter the price sold - then decide if that amount is public or private. When the sale denotes "Amount Private", it means the sale price is in the Pinside DB, it's just not public. jdoz2 was just stating that they may be using the private amount to compute the median price (or maybe not - we don't know).

You underestimate the Aussies!

We never got an update after 100 - maybe 175?

You have the designer of the game saying it is the same game as the original, having a different listing makes no sense. It's a re-run of the same game!

Where's the separate listing for Batman LE, Batman SLE and Batman Catwoman? At least those have different art/translites.
