I played this one a lot... probably more than any other Premier. IIRC the table I played was in decent condition but I don't remember anything about what shots could be made from where and how. The plunge award does need to work for the table to seem "fair" though, I played one at a show where...

Give me The Shadow's upper playfield any day ...

Well, the York PA show is just around the corner and Coin Taker brought along a Walking Dead last year, maybe they bring GoT this year. That said I've still not had the chance to play either KISS or Wrestlemania, that's going to be a whole lot of standing in line if all three are there.

Yeah, I completely forgot that each time you play the video mode it's called a "wave". So when I say "level N" I really mean "Video Wave N"; and when I say "wave" I really mean "group of werewolves within a wave". So - ignoring Wave 1, which has "groups" of 1 and 2 werewolves, each wave always...

Possibly because GoT fans (of which I'm one) are far more vocal in their criticism and whining and have had a lot of practice over the years - especially for the book readers (which I do not count myself among, but I'm familiar with what's gone on). Personally I think GoT is a terrible theme...

So we're all ripping GoT and praising(?) The Hobbit. Remember the outcry over how that looked when the first art and playfield shots appeared from JJ? And how immeasurably it improved with subsequent iterations? Sadly Stern is more of a production line than JJ and this would appear to be the...

Or it would mean they would no longer be allowed to digitize tables that they knew would be popular (i.e. modern Sterns). They did the math, and any sales they lose through dropping cab support is always going to be a lot less than what they'd make by having, say, a digitized version of...

A 128Gb Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is available for just over $800 on Amazon. And it comes with a pen. Compare that to how much a 128Gb iPad Pro will set you back... without the pen. And with iOS, not OSX. Apple have just run into a glut of inevitable comparisons with a competing product that...

I've been playing more CV than BSD this week... mainly because I know how to play BSD. CV still bugs me, and I've been concentrating on stacking multiballs, since that seems to score well (outside of Join The Cirqus). So, what multiballs can be stacked? The best I've managed is Strike An...

Well if FS are some way towards a deal to getting new and recent Sterns digitized, I think it's quite understandable that they wouldn't want to see official cab support. If Stern includes the rights to create a digital version of the table in their licenses, then the licensing issues for FS go...

A few things you are probably aware of... but worth mentioning here, maybe? - In the "My Account" tab, "My Scores" only shows scores up to Xenon. Scores for Road Show, Safe Cracker, HS2 are not available. - You need to log out and log back in again on the "My Account" tab for your leaderboard...

Better than the pinball (based purely on looks, and the stupid Pro/Premium/LE differences), at least....

...and Hot Wheels - deja vu, anyone? (FWIW IPDB lists Seawitch as 1980, Hot Wheels as 1979.)

He didn't....

Are Zen producing 1 table a month? 75+ staff (not all programmers, of course) producing 1 (originally-designed) table every, what, 3 months? is going to look a lot better short-term than 25-ish staff producing 1 (based on an existing physical object) table a month. Also that window allows you...

Yep it's a Steve Ritchie. Go to the features matrix on the Stern website, one of the perks of the LE is the playfield is signed by Steve Ritchie. Odd because when I first saw the Pro layout with the twin crossover ramps, I immediately thought of Mark Ritchie.

All I can say is, why? And really, I hope that the idea of BIG differences (as in, "entire upper playfield!") isn't the way of things for future Pro/Premium/LE editions. Didn't AC/DC also do that with a lower playfield (like HH/BH)? Sure, I'm not in the market for every new Stern there is and...

I was 1. Okay, I was 2 for the last few of 1975, but let's not get too picky about it.

Well Bowie wrote All The Young Dudes (as well as producing the album), and there is a Bowie recording of it somewhere - he just felt the song was better for Hunter. Mildly interesting factoid: the song "Once Bitten Twice Shy" was written by Ian Hunter, but is perhaps best remembered as a cover...

Tip for video mode: it's always a very basic pattern. After Level 1 there's always the same number of wolves in each wave; this is Level#+1, call it N. Wave 1 is always N wolves on the right. Wave 2 is 1 on the left, (N-1) on the right. Wave 3 is 2 L, (N-2) R. And so on. After N L, 0 R the...
