[QUOTE="VMethos, post: 93764, member: 751"] Pro Tip #1: Do not begin your game of Twilight Zone at 10pm or later, as a high scoring game can keep you up well past 2am on a work night. ;) In all seriousness, all the best stuff is covered here: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/2777-TZ-Tactics-and-Strategies[/url] Some things I'd mention or highlight... -- Learn to consistently do the left ramp, right ramp, piano 3-way combo shot. This is the bread and butter of TZ for me. I would avoid the dangers of the bumpers and some greed targets in favor of getting to LITZ (Lost in the Zone) more often. Only when during a multiball would I allow padding the score with the more dangerous shots. -- Try to save the "Lite Outlanes" award (either from Camera or Super Skill Shot) until right before starting LITZ.
