I like the small modes you play on the DMD. I have two now that play them. Getaway and Super Mario Bros. Both great little mini games and I like them both. I miss quite a few scenes on other games but get to watch them while being player 2. JD has some great scenes that I really enjoyed watching so I would vote to have more of them if I had a vote.

I like most all video modes of the 90's Williams/Bally games. I grew up on vids as much as pins (although I like the pins more now), so I like the little video game interludes. They give me a nice little break every now and then to catch my breath. I can understand how some people would not like them though, afterall, you are playing pinball for a reason and not playing a video game.

I think Tron would've been the perfect place to have a light cycle video mode like the vintage video game. I was kind of disappointed it didn't. I figured they could've made it so you could have turned it on or off in the adjustments if it wasn't your cup of tea.

Now with WOZ having an LCD, video modes could get out of hand and evolve from mini games into full blown games. That could be too much.

I always enjoy the video modes, they just add a different dimension to the game for me. I wish Stern used them more. I think T3 is the only one that has one.

I like video mode, it gives the machine more depth to it.

Other than Junk Yards (which got old after awhile) and BSDraculas (which didn't really ever seem to get old) I can't say that I am a fan of video modes...

Elvis and Monopoly have one. And I think HRC does too but it has been a while. For the most part, I could do without.

If done in moderation it's cool. I like my 'Shoot the Terminators' mode that only lasts about 15 seconds. When it gets all Pinball 2000 is when I tap out.

I'm generally not a big fan of video modes, but STTNG has a pretty cool one. The only downside to it is that one you get really good at the game, you can exploit the video mode and really load up on the artifacts.

That's the Breakout game, correct?

I generally just like video modes that are relevant to the game you are playing. Sometimes they can break the flow of the game, but when done well they are a great bonus feature.

Well put.

Some standouts for me are the Shadows - it's nicely done and hard to get that EB, AFM - I like that it is an award to play it and of course fits the theme great, and all of IJ's are good and fit with the respective movie.

Now the one on DW - jumping over obstacles - doesn't tie into the theme that well and it's fairly easy, is one I don't mind skipping.

For WOZ they need to keep them short and on point, anything to long will detract from the flow of the game

I like video modes in pinballs, it's something else to activate and complete.

I have a Shadow and have only beat the phurber vid mode once and I always forget about squeezing the trigger to clear the screen.

Also Johnny Mnemonic has a video mode, I like the game play of it.... but the graphics of this mode really suck, and on this mode I have never got past the second screen/level.

I hate video modes, give me my ball back please.

I agree that it's about playing pinball, but the little video sequences do break up game play and add an extra element. I like AFM and GNR vid modes, but I don't really like STTNG all that much. Moves too fast for me when I'm drunk.

The three video modes on BR are not bad... Walk the Plank, Knife Throw and Swing from the Ringings.. All are relatively quick and don't disrupt the action too much. I also love the animations that are displayed during the game. Sword fights when hitting the bumpers (sometimes Pirates sometimes cows!), and the animation of the ship firing back at you as the ball fires back down the center rail. Of course the best is sinking a ship!
