Quoted from JosephT:c) Collectors that have 20 machines but couldn't tell you the rules on any of them.
Hey that's me! I play with only my index finger touching the game sitting on a bar stool. LOL.
I use skill, ball control and hone in on my shoots. But like you said. My games are average at the best. Just getting back into nudging and my games are improving.
Funny because when I was in my teens I would beat the crap out of games and could beat the crap out of anyone I played against.
Back then, 14-15 years old (I'm 47 now) we played for quarters and dollars at the arcades. With a $5. a week allowance my winnings were big money. Heck do you know how many candy bars you could get with a couple bucks back then!!
Anyway. Even collectors like myself will tell you JUST DO IT!!! nudge, slap, slide, slam. If you don't tilt the game every once on a while your not playing pinball. Just not my LOTR no slapping. Stern really didn't make the side art to last.
