I see no activity on this forum for the last 9 months so I hope it's not dead. I Picked up a WOF recently. It seems to me that it's getting more of a beating than it deserves due to the software issues. I find the game quite fun and challenging. It's certainly brighter and more cheerful than any other game I've owned. Everybody that comes over immediately relates to the theme (who hasn't seen the TV show and recently at that). It has a lot of great shots and is quite challenging. I'm not saying it beats a classic Bally or Williams game but it really is a fun and challenging game even with the few issues it has. Which is really what I was looking to find. I've noticed a few things but really there only 2 that really bug me and one of those I've only seen twice. Is there a known comprehensive list somewhere of these issues?

Thanks Jediturtle,
There was so much bashing going on for WOF that I was beginning to question my joy of playing the game. I would say that I've owned TZ for 10 years and several other great games for not so long but long enough to know what makes pinball fun. So it's been a bit frustrating to see my wife really not "get it" and have no desire whatsoever to play some of these other games. I can't even get her to touch the TZ with the dark playfield, minor key music score and complicated play (her feelings - definitely not mine). When she ran across WOF with the bright playfield, jeweled inserts, perfect integration between LED and incandescent lighting, instant connection to theme, fast play, and all the other things you called out, she immediate connected. Now she has a high score on WOF that I have not been able to top. It's been worth it for that alone. It's also the game that guests will immediately approach and be mesmerized by.

OK, so I assumed the scoring thing I've seen was one of the main issues in the game. I did manage to capture a video of it in action with my wife's help ("honey, I've locked the ball can you grab the camera"). I was posting it on Youtube when I saw some other guy had a video posted replacing the ramp optos with standard switches. Anybody know if the issue I have in the video is the one referred to in the Stern bug fix or if it's not a software bug at all but a sensor problem?

Hey, Jespo - last time you posted on this forum it appeared you didn't have a WOF but were hoping to find one for about $2K. I'm really hoping they're not going for anywhere near that cheap or I'm going to realize how much I overpaid for mine. Wife loved it, caught up in the frenzy of an arcade auction...
