Comet, Cyclone, Hurricane

Sorry to go off-topic for a sec... but wouldn't a mirror-image mode be great?! Seriously, how messed up would that be?

I would like to know more.

Wizard goals are 4/5 decent challenges but nothing on a par with Genie 3M. 1/5 is based on the skill shot and is nothing short of infuriating. Local high scores are easy to take down. Note this is a System 11 table with a 7-digit display (the last? Taxi was 88 also and that is 8 digits) so the...

Don't forget the timer pauses while the ball is on the ramp. Even starting from 20k 10s is enough time to make all 6 shots.

Nudging worked :D Just hit it, and for good measure on the next ball as well. I also scored 21M that game so I think Cyclone gets retired for now.

9B in 40 minutes:

All of them on PC, including TAF Gold. The base 4 tables, all of S1, about half of S2 and TAF+Gold on Android. Technically TOTAN and TAF+Gold on iOS as well.

Just took me ~40m to score 9B. Call it 35m of actual gameplay because there are a couple of pauses in there. That was two Grand Finales and mostly on ball 3 - I had maybe 200M after balls 1 and 2. My best score is around 23B. I agree bonus is a large component but it's a one-off score so you...

- R&T - F14 - The Shadow - Dr Who - Swords Of Fury - Hurricane - Demolition Man - WCS - Fireball - LotR Not sure it's fair to have so many tables in there that would require a KS (TSPP? LotR?) or are completely out of reach license-wise (Indy Jones, Dr Who). Still, we can dream, yeah?

Thought we weren't doing this the same week as a new table release. Still, I'm not complaining when it's ToM. Let's all go complain about the right orbit being impossible to shoot from a trap on the left flipper.

The cards on the Jack*Bot playfield are spread out more than on the picture in the hint. Also in Jack*Bot on the 2s you can just make out the left-hand edges of the big heart and spade symbols in the middle of the card; they're not visible in the hint picture. So I'd say those are two...

By design - you are awarded a Special (100k) when you light 5x for the first time.

My guess is it has all the DX11 code in it (which is why the VC 2012 Redistributable was installed - presumably can't leverage the DX11 APIs with whatever version the DX9 code was written in, probably 2005 or more likely 2008). Just not in an activated state.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That did NOT go well. No avatars for me this month. Well, okay: BH: 4.1M CftBL: 168M. Yes, I sucked today. NGG: 53M. HS: 2-somethingM.

Tip to get the 5x100k skillshot Wizard goal. You need to make 5 skill shots which means 2 EBs. So rapidly drain the first 2 balls after making the skill shot to safely light the outlane EB! Scoring 2M for the other EB is not difficult. For the 2M Comet Wizrard goal, note that the double score...

Since the newsletter strongly hints at Pack #37 being Jack*Bot, time for a new speculation thread! I think this one's going to be Xenon. #39 will be the mystery Gottlieb that we're due (Stargate? Please! R911? Would please a lot of people. Surf N Safari? Would please me at least.) #40 will be...

I can confirm this, at least as far as trying to run something on 32-bit Server 2003 that was built in VS 2012. I imagine XP gives a similar result since XP and 2003 are close cousins.

Yes, I think it's slightly bugged. It might be best to hit it on Ball 1 or before there's a multiplier. My first time I had a 3x multiplier and it didn't register. But the second time when it did register I had a 2x multiplier. :shrug: Now the Wizard goals... a nice challenge.

I think I played Jack*Bot, once, a long time ago. But Pin*Bot is one of my favorite TPA tables, which I also got to play IRL recently too, so how can a slightly more modern makeover with a casino twist go wrong, eh?
