I want to throw a chair through this machine's glass!

[George Klepacz]

I start multiball and immediately the first ball pops out the left outlane, quickly followed by the second, hit one target with the third, and then it goes down the center. Now I plunge ball 3 and it out the outlane. Unbelievable luck! This is why I don't play the lottery or bother with the new casino that just opened in my town. F you, Rudy!

That would be an interesting feature - the ability to damage or destroy machines that piss you off. There can even be different degrees, from breaking the glass or knocking it over, to ordering an airstrike or dropping a nuke on it.

Someone's been playing too much Call of Duty, lol.

 

[RetroBlast]

Too funny, but I like the idea! I have been playing Crisis 2 all day so I would opt to armor up my nano suit, beat the heck out the attendant, then super jump smashing the table to the ground!

 

[George Klepacz]

Lol! All good ideas!

After I did this thread, I had my best game on Funhouse so far. Go figure.

Pinball Arcade Fans therapy.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Saving glass one thread at a time!

The multiball drain happened a lot to me, but it seems to have stopped. Right when it came out, it seemed every first ball from multiball would come around the hallway loop and down, then off the pin between lanes on the left side and down the left outlane. Maddening. But it hasn't happened to me in a while.

 

[Jim O'Brien]

Well the good thing with Funhouse is if you do mess up three ball multiball for a chance to hit the trap door it rewards you with hidden hallway multiball (two ball) if you can make that all important advance the clock and extra ball shot. Very easy shot imo off of the left flipper.

 

[Fungi]

It's now just a habit that I nudge when Rudy spits. That's probably good advice in the real world too, if you know a Rudy that is.

 

[RhodyDave]

It seems that all the multiballs drain one after the other for almost every table. It's like they are lemmings going over the cliff.

 

[squidlr]

Yes, Funhouse becomes personal, especially if Rudy throws in a 'heh heh heh' when a ball drains cheaply.

I wonder if anyone smashed up a Pinball machine in anger in real life.

As a former arcade employee, I can say with authority yes they have.

Do you recall which machine ? Were there witnesses ?

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

I seen a picture of machines with smashed glasses from a guitar weilding angy girlfriend, wish i remember where I seen that...maybe in the thread where they were throwing machines off the roof.

 

[arcaner]

ALL of them. Stupid drunken frat boys. We had a stack of replacements in the back.

I hated this machine. I rarely got mad playing pinball, but this is one machine that annoyed me so much I refused to play it back when it was in the local arcade.

 

[phreaker47]

Yeah, the "Rudy vomit ball" can often go straight out the left outlane. Give a little nudge just as that ball is coming out, every time.

 

[Sumez]

I always do that nudge, as a leftover from playing it on PHOF, and I never had it drain not even once on the TPA version, so that save is pretty consistent. I didn't even know if it was still necessary, but it seems so.
Also, apart from hitting the trap door initially with one of the two first balls to drop down, gaining control of the balls immediately is so important in this game, I never care about the third ball and always let it drain if that helps me getting the all-important stance of one ball on each flipper.
