Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zaphod77" data-source="post: 136763" data-attributes="member: 2101">The "Max extra balls per ball in play" setting works fine in every game that has it.  So do the max stacked extra balls, and the max per game settings.I'm not saying to hack the code or anything.  Just to change operator settings.And a beginner will still not hit the limits after they are set.  They will not tour the mirror on every ball. they might not even collect the steps extra ball at all, or get the gangway more than once.  Also while some are easier and some are harder in TPA, the same is true of real life.  But many of us believe tables that are hard in real life should be hard in TPA, and ones that are easier in real life should be in TPA as well.Some tables that are relatively easy in real life, and exist in TPA.1) Black Rose. assuming this game works right it can be owned in the same manner it is in TPA.2) Scared Stiff.  As long as you avoid the death trap shots and the tv kickout cooperates, you can play a long time.3) Elvira and the party monsters. Once you get your flippers on the ball, the game is yours. 4) Who Dunnit (well it will be in TPA).  Fun table, but EASY EASY EASY. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />5) Black Knight 2000.  the game is really just as ownable in real life, exactly the same way you do it in TPA.6) Tee'd Off.  Dear gods. this game is very rollable, if you know how to abuse the system.  It's actually a bit harder than real life i think, because the volcano likes to reject clean shots.The following games are very hard in real life, but considerably less so in TPA.1) Twilight Zone.  The bumper to outlane power drains and a slot machine kickout that is often hard to handle cause this game to be a bit of a bastard.  this game is the poster child for "really needs to have been made harder"2) Bride of Pinbot.  That center ramp is a deathtrap in real life, and much harder to loop, and the shuttle ramp is steep, needing a very clean shot up.  Just TRY getting that backdoor billion with the glass on in real life. 3) Funhouse.  Sure it's easy enough. until you miss one shot.  Only the mirror extra ball is safe to go for, as the bunpers and the PEST targets can and will drain you.  That said i'm not that bad at Funhouse in real life.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Games that i will be disappointed with if they aren't hard in TPA.1) Bram stoker's Dracula.  This game kicks you in the teeth hard. Combine the standups of death (avoidable) with the bumpers of doom (impossible to avoid), and we have a drain magnet.2) Shadow.  This game is considered highly exploitable in theory, but very difficult to do so in practice.</blockquote>
