I love Spider-Man but TWD dead is Lymans coding masterpiece. It used to be Metallica and before that I might have voted for Spider-Man. The layout in Spider-Man is a bit better and there is a ton to do. But TWD is in its own class for the code and the walker bombs on the premium really adds to the strategy.

Honestly, I don't think I have *ever* had the ball drain off the prison magnet on mine. Never.

If it drops, you can easily save it.

Some games are definitely more apt to have this problem than others.

Yea so you massively miss the point. It's not about losing the ball. Metallica is quick with lots of shots and if you hit the magnet and lose the ball it at least came off the flippers.

TWD has machines that massively drain out of the pops and others that don't. On the ones that do the game is completely ruined. The ball is in the pops super often and when there you're basically waiting on the ball so you can resume playing the game. Then after the long wait it drains. It is a major source of frustration and not at all fun.

I much prefer a game without pops. If TWD had a smooth orbit where left orbit shots flowed to the right flipper unimpeded that would be way better. Any ways, it's clear that regular drains from the pops was not intended by the designer as most TWD games don't have the issue.
