    What is a "ripoff?"

    Pat Lawlor referred to 2-ball multiballs in the games he designed (e.g., Whirlwind and Addams Family) as ripoff multiballs because they generally don't last that long and the point values are lower than a 3-ball multiball.

    Real Pinball Videos

    10.5 hours of pure pinball from the US National Championship in Vegas. If you can only set aside 12 minutes rather than the whole 10 hours, I recommend that you watch the Attack from Mars game that starts at 4:49:00. :) http://www.twitch.tv/iepinball/b/641843228

    Starship Troopers, ease of flipper catching?

    What's a flipper catch? http://papa.org/learning-center/video-resources/intermediate-flipper-techniques/ Are you talking about a live catch? If so, I'd say SST is average in general, though the small flipper does provide added control for other kinds of ball cradling.

    Why do people like Indy Jones (WMS version)

    The mode start bounce out? Path of Adventure being useless? Too many video modes? Ramps being useless 95% of the time? No skill shot? The stupid prices it sells for? That all being said, the theme, art, and music are nice, and the idol ball lock is cool.

    Somehow made the finals in my first pinball tournament...preparation?

    Small correction: On the left side, the picks are outside of the grave marker inline drop target lane. Also, if other people you playing are getting to a Crank it Up mode, you need to plan on doing the same. If they're doubling their CIU Collect jackpot, you need to plan on doing the same...

    Played first actual pinball table since 2002 today 6/9/2014!

    TSPP can be a pretty difficult game in an arcade. It shipped from the factory without the ball save turned on, so that's how a lot of them are set. Assuming it all works, it's a great playing game IMO, with excellent and deep rules. Check out the PAPA tutorial for more info that you might ever...
