Ditto. It comes down to not enough satisfying shots which makes for boring gameplay.

Nail on the head. None of the WOZ toys are truly interactive. I want to bash the witch like Champion Pub boxer. I want to spin the house like the genies lamp on TOTAN. I suppose bashing the witch castle doors is slightly interactive. Only one ramp that is just not satisfying to make. Sorry but after owning this game for a year now I really wanted to like it but honestly I'm just waiting for the light board fix to sell it.

I know there's little you can do about the layout and two upper play fields but as far as coding....

Too many cycling lights. When everything is blinking, it makes it difficult to track anything. Lights off, no cycling except in attract mode. Lights lit solid when awarded would be a great option in settings. One Blinking light at a time only when that specific shot should take precedence next in a mode or multiball. During fireball frenzy pulsing blue is fine but not pulsing orangish with tinge of blue. Half the time I have to pause and figure out which shot to hit because the blue looks sort of orange and the orange looks sort of blue. These diamond inserts are also just too small to track easily in a sea of other small blinking and pulsing inserts.

HOADC is so low scoring compared to the risk of pursuing it or trying to set it up for bigger points that it is ignored. If you miss the shot there is a very good chance of a TOTO drain. More points and a big payoff mode is something it desperately needs. And if you're trying to get, say an orange horse to complete all one color, then there won't be an orange horse on the play field to shoot for.

Mega jackpot in rescue multiball is insanely too difficult. With factory out lanes, the end of ball save modes somewhat compensate for all the drains along with some good nudging during normal play. Where it becomes a major issue, is trying to keep a multiball going when you don't get a ball save and too much is going on otherwise to concentrate on nudging the ball out of the outlanes.

Too many things going on at once. All the stacking is overkill. Stern has got the stacking down with distinct modes that can be stacked and what order they must be started in order to stack. Stacking everything at once makes for a lot of counter productivity. At the very least, fireball frenzy should not be a stackable mode.

Munchkin Modes- I have no idea what's going on. Lots of pretty lights.

Hurry ups- worth so little, is there any "secret stash" ending that I have yet to see?

Call outs- more from movie actors, less from voice actors. They sound absolutely nothing like the actors. "Toto, you're back". Nix it and all others. The little background scream when Dorothy is captured, WTF?

I've probably killed the witch around 30 times or so, and SOTR is not gonna happen, so maybe a there and back again wizard mode somewhere in between?

You can get many call outs directly from the film. For the pinball specific call outs, if they can't get a decent VoiceOver for a character ( and let's face it, they can't), then just have a narrator. Maybe they can hire Steve Ritchie...."PLAY BETTER!"

Someone did, and you crapped all over it.

Oops, I accidentally thumbed down your post thanking Keith for the WOZ code update. Oh well.

I hear ya man. Centerflank sent me a pm after my college team lost to his college team. Something about crying in my wheaties. I was devastated for months.

So to end this thread......not enough satisfying shots. Shave and a haircut.......

The toys in WOZ are just not very interactive and there is only one ramp. The upper right flipper has nothing to shoot for.
Shave and a haircut......

Sorry no. Still find it boring with no fulfilling shots.

Yes. I owned it for about a year and a half. Sold Twilight Zone, which I owned for over 10 years, to buy it. It never got much better even after the final big code drop. When Keith said the code was essentially conplete and it still was lame then I was out. Killed witch countless times and finished every objective except Mega Jackpot. Factory settings as all my games are set up. Love TWD premium that took its spot.

Well I enjoy the the theme. Used to love watching on Tv every year with the whole family. That and Pippi Longstocking came on once a year. Unfortunately Woz just isnt fun to me. Now if they make a kick ass Pippi themed pin, I am all over it.

nailed it. add horrible repetitive callouts and bad voiceover actors

Yep. I haven't had McDonalds since the great food poisoning incident of 1992. My advice- never eat at an all-you-can eat McDonalds.

Yep. And they can't stand it when someone like me criticizes WOZ, because they can't point to ulterior motives. I'm not a Stern fanboy, I want Jack and JJP to succeed, And I am a past and potentially future customer.
I think Jack just made the mistake of trying to out Twilight Zone, Twilight Zone. He started with the idea of making a full featured, solidly built game in contrast to Stern's increasingly cost cutting model. If you remember, the WOZ whitewood was in a TZ cabinet. They could have used a Popeye or Road Show cabinet, or at least taken the decals off, but it was no accident that they chose a TZ cabinet. I could almost picture the conversation where Jack says "TZ has one upper playfield, we'll put two in WOZ! TZ has 4 flippers, we'll put 6 in WOZ! TZ is a fun game, we'll put double the fun in WOZ!"
Now can we retire this thread until next year.

Yep. Several Ecoli deaths from undercooking their patties. My friend used to go order at the drive thru and ask for a "murder burger and fries, I mean Jumbo Jack and fries". He thought it was funny, I told him I hope he likes extra spit with that. They even came out with a steak if you remember. Whose brilliant call was that?But I digress. I was referring to my personal experience in Tucson where they had an all you can eat McDonalds for $3.99
