IM by a mile...make it 50 miles. TOTAN is pretty... it's also pretty boring.

IM is one of the best pins ever made. Anyone who says it's too sparse has not played enough IM!

Monger gets in the way? Everyone knows you need to set Monger to "hard" to avoid having him pop up every minute. Having Monger on hard actually makes IM a little easier since he doesn't get in the way so much.

Quoted from mollyspub:

I didn't think the voting was going to be so close. A lot of people seem to dislike the gameplay of Totan.while I agree it's not the hardest game, it is fun!
Played ironman yesterday and while it is fast, it just didn't grab me like I thought It would.
I had a deal fall though for Totan today so maybe I'll hang on to it for now and put something else up for Sale. There maybe a Congo listed soon

IM takes time to appreciate. I did not like IM at first...at all. Said some pretty bad things about it early on. Now...I absolutely love it. You need to tweak the settings on IM an you need to play it a lot to really get it. There is no way someone can fully appreciate IM in a day or two.

Quoted from delt31:

I'm in this boat right now - played IM and thought well it was fast but was it fun. Not really. I guess I have to give it more time!
What exactly got that much better and why?

First.. set Monger to Hard. 2nd. Increase the pitch to 7 degrees. Both of those actually make IM a little easier.

The game is an ass kicker. I like to say it fights back...and usually wins. It has great sound and callouts.

It's the king of "one ball games". Meaning your great scores and accomplishments are usually achieved on one ball.

It's all about the setup. Trying to get 2x playfield scoring right before you set up the "Do or Die" center shot. I've actually never pulled that one off yet! Just getting to do or die (and making it) is hard enough...but to do it with 2x running is one of the ultimate setups in all of pinball.

Do or die is a timed shot...and a tight shot up the middle on a game that is just waiting to punish you for any missed shots.

No game gets your adrenaline pumping like IM when you are close to scoring big. And no game can crush your hopes and dreams faster.

Hit start again.
