    Quoted from pin2d:

    - Best School Project Ever

    I agree! Can't ask for a much better project than a Big Time - 5 Magic Lines, two super cards and much more.

    Having a little experience (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/1950-bally-turf-king-one-ball-horse-race-game) teaching kids about fixing games, I believe that there are few things more valuable to a young mind than learning how machines work, how to read a schematic, how to fix their own electrical and electronic stuff (and hopefully applying those lessons later in life, too).

    Quoted from pin2d:

    Also, maybe you can teach me that stuff too?

    Be happy to - any time. If you've got a project in the queue, just give me a ring.

    Neyens' designs, especially the Double Award games from '54, show how much thought he put into entertainment value for the player. Several goals to work toward as you climb the ladder to special, and each -just- out of reach. A true master of design.

    Quoted from gstellenberg:

    Read the bit on the computer playing pinball. Sorry... can't help myself. Here's an old video of an early prototype P3 playing itself.

    Six years before - and you didn't even need the backend computing power of Azure to do it!

    Quoted from gstellenberg:

    Would love to put together a man-vs-machine challenge!

    No matter who wins, humanity loses. If you do add that to the SDK, I'd love to see it (and use it) for some of the more ambitious modes I'm writing.

    It's unfortunate that the negatives on Heist are from people who haven't played the game - it's a seriously fun game.

    A couple notes:
    * Most modern machines from any manufacturer don't have interactivity in the bottom 2/3 and certainly not like the P3 with its dynamic array of targets on the screen.
    * Each module can play multiple games without having to swap playfields (that's one of the strengths of the platform)
    * The game shows progress to starting modes on the screen at all times unless you are in a mode. It also brings the mode progress to fore when you make a shot advancing same.

    Hopefully everyone gets to try this game - it's amazing.
