Quoted from yancy:One of my favorite Lyman memories involves NGG. A friend and I were playing it at Rick Schieve's party. Lyman seemed bemused/annoyed that we were enjoying such a crap game. It's been far too long to recall the exact conversation, but it was something like, "how can you guys stand to play that thing with all the bugs?" I was like "what bugs?" He said that for later multiballs a gopher can get stuck in the up position, blocking the lock for the rest of the game. I just kinda shrugged like, never happened to me.
Lyman waited for us to finish and was like, "here, let me show you." He fired up a game and blasted through to the bug without missing a shot. After bashing the stubborn gopher several times, he said something like, "see? game sucks," let the ball drain and walked away. It was way more good-natured than I'm making it sound, we all had a laugh.
I've never had Buzz stay up and block the right ramp access during multiball. Then again I am no Lyman. There are some bugs in the game, sometimes get a random ball put into play when a loop shot is made, the spinning wheel is hard to keep dialed in to award what it says, but if you want a golf themed pin with one of pinballs greatest shots, it is a lot of fun. Then again, I thougth Tee'd Off was fun too. I guess PL has a good foothold in my collection.
