[QUOTE="Zaphod77, post: 167733, member: 2101"] Fish Tales in TPA is harder then real life. Dracula is NOT. yes, this game is supposed to kick your ass. here's why. 1) you have to brave the dangerous bumpers to lock balls. 2) looping either ramp enough will force the ball into the bumpers. (you will get castle locks and vats for looping the castle ramp, and open the coffin when looping the coffin ramp. 3) power drains out of the bumpers can happen any time. and if it stays up in them too long even a plunge can drain without ball save. 4) bad bounces off the standups and any bricks can drain. But, when the pinball gods smile on you, you can put up amazing scores. It may take you 100 or more attempts to break ten billion, but eventually it will happen. Both skill and luck are needed for a good game. If you are having trouble looping the ramps, you can trap after a shot by nudging just after the ball reaches the flipper. it's not 100%, but it's reliable enough to open the coffin or get your next bonus. Only brave the altar from a trap on the left flipper. you will drain for sure trying otherwise. Use post transfers to get the ball to the opposite flipper when needed. Stack as many modes as possible for maximum points. double castle jackpots are where it's at. TPA has really outdone themselves with this recreation. Really hard, as it it should be. No one who's played it in real life has anything to complain about. [/QUOTE]
