Wipe Out needs an auto-kicker. Has anyone ever tried to add one to a game that didn't have one? I know that it's not in the software, but maybe there's another solenoid that I could piggy back on.

How are you going to do this with out software?

I agree, some of the Gottlieb System 3 could def use an auto kicker. If SF2 had one, and lost the blanka kick out hole, that game might actually have some flow.

Right now I think the easiest way to approach this would be with something like the Pig board here: http://www.dkpinball.com/DKWP/. This is pretty low priority for me right now, and it's likely to be fairly expensive so you know how that ends.

The problem with Wipe Out as I see is that every time you put a ball on the ski lift, it quietly kicks a new ball into the shooter lane. At that point it usually takes a minute to remember to plunge the ball, and for new players it's even worse. It's a pretty fast playing game otherwise, and I think this would really improve the feel.
