CFTBL right flipper to KISS left lane. Brick it a millisecond late and you're dead into the left outlane. Champion Pub left flipper running shot to the boxer, which rebounds directly toward the right outlane. (Mostly safe from a catch.) Black Knight lower right flipper to center drop target...

I do use different angles per table. Mostly based on the flipper configuration. On a regular two-flipper game, I use the second lowest angle. You're right that making the flippers bigger and focusing on them more is the way to go. It's like golf: keep your head down and focus on striking the...

I don't think this is true. My experience (PC) went like this: For a bank (123 or 456) where ANY target is lit at the start of a ball, you cannot use that bank to relight the kickback until you complete all of 123456 to reset that bank. Then and only then you can complete 123 or 456 normally...

Bump. This happened to me too playing Firepower tonight (PC), although only once in several hours of playing. Draining the second ball of a multiball started the bonus countup and incremented the ball-in-play counter. That makes three years-old bug threads for Firepower that have seen no...

Bump. This still happens, to me on PC. It is embarrassingly inconsistent. Sometimes the lit spinner will score right away. Sometimes it will score a couple seconds later. Sometimes it will score up to six seconds later when the ball hits a FIRE rollover. And sometimes it will not score at...

Bump. Year and a freakin half later, this still happens. Just did three times to me on PC. Slightly different symptoms from the top post. The flippers still operated. Tilting did not get anywhere, the UI never appeared and I could only forfeit out of a game that would have been top-5...

Yes, you can only stack Red Light into Milwaukee by finishing the 16th city the slow mileage way, while Red Light is running.

See, I don't place #1 at everything. :)

There are levels to nudging on the PC only if you play with an analog gamepad. I don't, I use a keyboard. That makes nudges maximum strength all the time and in fixed cardinal directions. That's mostly favorable and does make the PC the easiest platform to play on. Most of the time this is...

Yes, I don't raise the multiplier until the jackpot is ready. And if it's 3x, I won't push it to 4x until the super jackpot is ready. Only reaching 4x locks you out of increases for later multiballs on the same ball.

Same here, I've never gotten much more than halfway to the Milwaukee super jackpot. TPA's flippers are just too stupidly weak up the middle to hit the bike fast enough, same as for shooting MM's castle. Milwaukee is merely decent points, but what else are you going to do? Red Light MB takes a...

This is the most important bit. The strategy though is mostly "don't drain". Get as many cities as possible on that first ball, so that all the free Next City awards from the later balls can give credit for the longest distances. I find you need to get 7 cities on the first ball to make this...

Varkon!

Me too. Fireball

That's legit as far as the real game goes. In single-ball play, if the ball somehow airballs over the forcefield into the saucer, you'll get credit for a dirty pool saucer kill.

This works. Stupidly well. On any ramp feed on either side, nudge upwards when the ball is just shy of halfway up the flipper. You'll get a catch about 98% reliable. I found it better to shoot the ramps alternately rather than just the left one. The ramp value increases by 100k for each...

New leaderboard #1 owner at 191M here. This was my strategy: Every ball, the absolute first thing you do is enter the lower playfield, complete the blue drops twice, then shoot the upper playfield top lane to score the extra ball. Do nothing else until you get this. I failed this only once...

It looks like we've actually had some amount of bug fixing on this table, at least on PC. I had never been able to go more than an hour without getting a ball lost or stuck in the lower playfield exit or some such. And of course the attendant would never help. But yesterday, I had a nice ~8...

Well I did it the easy way. Segasa is printed on the playfield in the right outlane. IPDB shows only 15 Segasa titles so just a minute of clicking found it. Pretty sure I've never seen any Segasa machine in real life.

Monaco by Segasa. That's the Spanish company, not the Japan/US Sega.
