Yes, what happened there is specific to Rushmore stacked with Time Warp. The final shot of Rushmore goes up the lock ramp but does not count as a lock, so simply gets released. There's never any other way to get a ball up there during Time Warp or any other multiball, and no other multiball...

This is all true -- but it's all covered by TSPP. The DE table isn't going to attract any significant amount of purchases that TSPP alone won't. Kickstarting TSPP makes perfect sense, but dragging along the DE machine doubles the work and cost for what won't be anywhere near double the sales.

Every 3 missions completed starts Bonus Wave Multiball. During Bonus Wave Multiball, you collect items for each shot. There are rewards every 10 items: jackpot, saucer light, maybe an EB. The item total carries over between instances of Bonus Wave Multiball. 40 or 50 items in total starts...

That something is fine grained control of nudging. Central Park is meant to be played with subtle skillful bumps to keep the ball out of those many types of drains. TPA's all-or-nothing full power whacks don't translate well at all to such games.

This makes no business sense. Doing both Simpsons tables is twice the work of one, but has no chance of coming anywhere near doubling the sales.

I remember the Mothership, Grandmothership, Wicked Stepmothership, and Mother-in-law-ship. That's as far as I ever got.

Took back #1 with 41 billion. I was going infinite just fine, and drained out the last 6 balls once I was high and bored enough. I did it with multiball jackpots. The jackpot reached over 150 million by the end of the game. I scored over a billion in a multiball several times. I'm pretty...

This happened twice on pinballwiz45b's stream of Whodunnit yesterday. If Twitch still has the stream, we've got direct video evidence for Farsight.

The scoring distribution charts are up in this same thread, go to post #31.

I like Jack*bot a lot too. It was the game on which I started to seriously learn and get good at pinball, in my college's game room. Although TPA Jack*bot will surely be as easy to go infinite as Bride, thanks to the ridiculous goodies from Casino Run. Heck I've gone infinite for over an hour...

I haven't been able to do this on TPA either. There is a youtube video that shows it being done on TPA, though. I'm not sure if there is a ROM fix that TPA is now using, or if I've been doing something wrong. I have this written down as the procedure: Never take "Collect 2 Jewels" because...

High scores in the 5 to 10 billion range maybe. But the way top end of 50B+ requires going for Grand Finale, because it lights a Special for EB each time. Each EB is worth 3+ billion in fully multiplied bonus. That's way ahead of grinding stuff like Theatre letters and Spirit Ring. This...

This is normal ROM behavior. After you have had a multiball with the multiplier increased to 4x, it can't go beyond 1x any more for future multiballs on that same ball until you drain. The rule is to somewhat nerf runaway scoring with multiball jackpots.

Old Chicago. Just enough of the name is visible at the top edge with the lamps for the letters.

There is a ROM bug that can help. If you tilt while bonus is held, the multiplier is actually NOT held. Next ball the playfield bonus X lamps stay on, but actually the scoreboard will show you earning 2x-4x-etc and light an EB at 8x. I semi-intentionally used this in my #1 score game (didn't...

Holy crap on a stick, that does work. Helps if the rightmost poker target is down. But damn, no way in hell that ever happens with a real flipper.

Great video, thanks for that effort! That shows exactly what I was talking about. See how the ball bounces off the flipper (an inch or so) before the flipper is fully lowered. This does not happen with real flippers because the flipper would absorb the ball's momentum. A real ball can bounce...

It's more than just difficult. It's literally impossible. The coarseness of the physics in TPA leaves no possible trajectory for the ball to go up the right orbit from a trap on the left flipper. It can't be done except by starting from some other position than a full catch. Difficult is...

It'd be quite hard to justify the work for DE Simpsons, since it's the same amount of labor as TSPP but the latter would easily outsell it by a multiple of 5x or 10x. Jurassic Park / Lost World might make sense together, although it's still hard to see them together accounting for 2x the sales...
