NIB on order. I never thought i'd own a walking dead, but i think the ruleset finally sold me on it.

thanks, it is going out on location for people to enjoy as soon as i get it. spread the pinball love!

i'm looking foward to taking her for a test spin tonight after i bulletproof the pf with mylar. time to kill some NIB zombies on halloween!

well, who wouldn't want to play a machine with hardly zero airballs vs GB the clunk festival?

I'm interested in some opinions on game strategy on the pro for high scores. i've watched the tutorials and numerous players on twitch as well. I have never scored higher than 370 million on location or on my machine. I've scored over 100+ million on certain modes like tunnel and riot, i've gotten hoard maybe 10 times, and i stack blood bath with prison or well walker. How do you blow this game up? i can't for the life of me figure it out. i understand the 2x playfield via riot is a big key. i've tried shooting out all modes as many times as possible, i try to hit all the yellow inserts when lit, i'll try to go for only drop targets, i'll try to go for prison all day, i'll try for well all day. Is there something i am missing?

Thanks

No, when you made the weapons drop.. the yellow light above the right ramp will be lit... if you have double playfield and an inlane multiplier ready (for example 4x). Then shoot the right ramp, cash in your inlane multiplier and shoot a crossbow shot.

4x and double playfield = 8x so when making a succesfull crossbow shot: 5M can be worth 40M due to the 8xmultiplier.
If you combine this with for example a running barn mode and you shoot the barn shot this way... you have

5M (crossbow) + 4M (barn) + walker kill/multikill/... = 10M x 8 = 80M in one shot

To pull these things off isn't always easy but this is how you try to play the game continuesley. Multiplay on modeshots, higher multikill values, well walker jackpots, etc...

I have shot 100M riot shots this way too (my riot champ is f.e. now 500M+)

ps: to build your inlane multiplier, shoot lit crosshairs, every 2 shot advances the multiplier by one.

Thanks a ton David! i have been negleting the crossbow shot/ramp when lit. that would explain why i never put up those playfield multipliers!

the color DMDs are shipping out this friday hopefully! neeto

i guess i have a quick question. Would you need a piggy back connector for the 5 or 12v power supply for the color DMD if you already use that for either a shaker motor, led backboard power supply, or led under cab mods? i forget where i've hooked them all up at this point on my machine..lol

Color DMD on high res setting is probably the best mod TWD can have. save your money for all of those mod signs and whatnot and get the LCD!!!

i don't think i can play TWD on location without the LCD now.

i was interested in what scores people are posting up for Horde mode on the pro model? best i've ever done is 140 million. It seems most of the big points on the pro are scored with a multiball stacked with a mode, 2x scoring with an X shot.

i know there are lots of tutorials, but does anybody know if/what the name of the wizard mode is if you have all the modes lit solid on the pf? barn, cdc, arena, tunnel, and arena? thanks

awesome, thanks chuck! i was wondering how i started whatever mode (terminus) it was after i complete those.

44 bulbs. i forget the # required, i'd recommend warm white frost for the GI. love it in mine, another guy posted pics of his somewhere in here for reference.

mylar. I made a large template covering my entire prison magnet area (up to the doors/stand up targets, and down to the 'prison' letters.) I had a distributor tell me he had his like this, after i had covered only the area around the the magnet itself. Also, a small piece to cover the shooter lane ball feed area. Other than that, it starts to get expensive for other 'needs'.

it's probably the best mod ever for any machine imo. every TWD deserves a LCD display!

meh, save your money and get the color LCD dmd if you don't already have one.

i have the LCD and it is magnificent!

I replaced the entire GI with warm white cointakers. it has a great eerie zombie warm look and the art really pops.

he's probably talking about a fix/adjustment for the prison zombie head switch, not the optos in front of the zombie. some people put a washer/dime on the switch i guess.
