So we have 2 B/W games at our local bar (a Demo Man and a Twilight Zone) and it got me thinking... Whatever happened to the side scoop shot? Both games have them, hell, I guess you could say Twilight Zone has two, and both are super satisfying to nail. That little clink sound as you sink the piano shot on TZ has gotta be the best shot in pinball. I can't even think of another game with the shot at all except for those two. Lawlor games all have scoops but not side ones (I guess you could count Funhouse's Rudy?) I propose we bring this shot back to pinball... C'mon Elwin and Danger, let's make this happen!

Quoted from titanpenguin:

Doesn’t RUSH have one?

Yes! I knew there was another one out there.

Thought of another... RCT, although that's an incredibly unsatisfying shot as I don't think it scores many points/does anything (which is pretty much the entire game's MO)

Godfather has one -- the Hideout.[quoted image]

Awesome! Now I definitely need to play that game.

Quoted from zacaj:

Dialed In has one, it's just impossible to hit.

Yes when Bowen's strategy is "just start multiball and hopefully you randomly bounce one in" you know the shot isn't a great shot.

Does Addams family side entrance into swamp count?

Yes technically...although Thing usually shoots it for you, but you're right (and I guess the same could be said about Baywatch, which is less than accurate)

I guess I should have been more specific here, I'm looking for a scoop that can only be shot from an upper flipper. (Like jdoz2 said) RBION does count! I forgot about that one! Very similar to Rush
