PPLBob Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Legend..... I beg to differ. I think you have me confused with somebody else! Thanks for the pick none the less! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crakkers Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Haven't played this one before, but I think I'm going to enjoy it. It looks like a good one to play with a few beers. Not sure about the eyes on that Jack on the backglass though.....looks like he's one of the Children of the Damned! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Never played this in VP either, just had a bash - there is some wacky stuff going on with ball spin, some really weird bounces off the flipper, and almost no dead bounce at all. 300k is looking pretty high to me :lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crakkers Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 300k is looking pretty high to me :lol I think you're right. I've had a few games now and can't see myself getting close to a score like that in a hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcholeaway Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I don't know if it's me that's doing something wrong, but I found some issues during my plays today : Even though the game says (on the sticker rule) that a draw is in fact a win for the player, it didn't trigger as a win for me The 2x - 3x - 5x - Extra Ball on each win isn't working for me. I'm expecting to have 2x5000, or 5x5000, but I only get 1x5000. And I did get the extra ball bonus lighted on the top, and when winning the hand, I did not get my extra ball (which was a pity, as I was on my 210.000 play 😠All in all, this is a great game, I'm not a fan of the pre-80's pins, but having a community that points it out and trying to beat some scores is motivating enough ;-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the draw thing - the F6 options has a section for that. Mine is set not to award a win - so I'm not sure what the "correct" setting should be since I don't bother reading the instructions as usual. The 2x, 3x, etc is for the bonus multiplier for the end of ball bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is set not to award a win - I'll give it a try next week, I'll let you know. The 2x, 3x, etc is for the bonus multiplier for the end of ball bonus. Yes, but there is also a 2x 3x and 5x it the top right, next to extra ball. Imo it means that it doubles the 5000 wins of each "player win" hand. And it adds up also the multiplier for the end-of-ball bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I don't know how you guys are smashing this table without EB's working properly. 3 balls is too few for this game. finding it a drain monster, not being able to bounce pass sucks the big one. Every time i play it I end up super annoyed :realmad: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
