What's with the shot lines on the middle of the playfield? Seems instead of trying to keep them parallel they should angle them to line them up with the flippers.

Quoted from insx:Hmm, I've played Timeshock! for years and never really thought about it. [quoted image]
I'm not familiar with the game, but that's the first thing that catches my eye when looking at the playfield. That intersection of the "MAG" and "Lock Lite" just screws up the inserts. Probably too far a long in the process, but I'd try to display the "Lock Lite" in a different way and then adjust the shot lines.
EDIT: What is the function of the lane to the outside of the left outlane? Looks like that contraption move the balls into that vertical tube, I assume it's a physical ball lock. Is that correct?
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:With the number of inserts pointing to each shot, you'd have placement problems and they'd look worse to the eye if they weren't placed parallel. The human brain prefers regular patterns.
Yeah, I think the only solution is to remove one set of inserts...displaying that information in a different way. I would remove the "lite lock" inserts.
