When I saw the catalog listing my first thought was: Why would I want to buy and install a ball trap?

Exactly the strategy I've been playing with great success - but when I miss it on the drop in, I'm frantically scrambling to figure it out from there. I actually kinda like that scrambling - but not when I miss LITZ because of it.

Which reminds me: I think my #1 best feeling when playing TZ is starting LITZ from the power field. There are lots of ties for #1.1, but starting LITZ by defeating The Power is my #1.

It's just my personal favorite/most pinhead-satisfying way of starting LITZ over the other shots to start it. Don't know why anyone would think it would start some kind of different LITZ.

I wholeheartedly agree.

In hindsight my personal tastes lean more toward the stock look (when it comes to LEDS) rather than the Vegas sign look (or as another one of my pinhead friends says: the “lit up like a whorehouse” look), but that was only after a lot of experimenting. And I basically do all of that experimenting every time I do another game because just because I like stock on game A doesn’t mean I will prefer stock on game B.

So pick an area of TZ and try something there with color LEDs vs. white, warm white vs. cool white, frosted vs. clear etc. until it looks pleasing to you. Don’t just do one LED, but don’t do the whole game all at once either - do it an “area” at a time, recognizing that an “area” on TZ could be something like the door with the door panels and door knob, to everything on the Powerfield, to something like all of the lower half of the playfield’s GI.

It will take a good amount of time and some investment, but once you figure out how you like it, you’ll be very happy with your game. Or more precisely: your FIRST game.
