Cyclone

[Fungi]

I've played Comet, I've played a LOT of Hurricane, I've never played Cyclone. Talk to me.

Wow. That's, that's kinda weird.

Not really. My first year of Uni (1992), there was a Hurricane in the bar I was always in, so that got played. Prior to Uni, I really wasn't interested in pinball, so I missed out on pretty much the whole of the 80's and all those System 11 gems. I remember Paragon and Space Invaders from '80 or '81, then a long blank, then Hurricane.

Comet I came across at a show last year, and it was in great condition and a real blast to play.

Ah. Well with those conditions, it's perfectly understandable. Personally, Cyclone is my favorite of the trilogy. It was like Comet with 2 coasters. Hurricane, on the otherhand, always disappointed me. I never could put my finger on why. That being said, if I could only have 2, I'd like Cyclone and Hurricane.

Really hope for Cylone this season.

I like Hurricane but my biggest issue with it is the big looping ramp. You're just always peeking around it to see something. And the use of the DMD is just sad. The DMD doesn't really add much to the game at all. But I still enjoy playing it.

Today may be your lucky day.

HUrricane just isn't that good.

Possibly the only pinball game that's easier with lightning flippers. (they make the center ramp REALLY easy to loop, and the plunge sets the ball up to loop it.)

Newsletter hint definitely says it's Cyclone.

 

[Dedpop]

YES !!!

I was expecting The Getaway. Oh well.

I guess this still going to be fun, either way.

Both are great tables.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Well there you go.

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

YES !!!

Either that or Twister. Keep in mind the Australian accent, but it's a long shot.

 

[Dedpop]

It can't be Twister.

 

[IGoFirstIndy]

Congrats!

 

[Dedpop]

Congrats!

Thanx.
I think it's a great addition to TPA.
And I'm sure you're gonna like it.
(You never played it, right ?)

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

I stand corrected. Cyclone is next. Thank Google for "Winds in Australia".

 

[pm1109]

Definitely Cyclone
In fact there is a cyclone in Australia right now off Queensland

 

[Dedpop]

Double congrats !
