[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 151315, member: 2300"] Still in that back room was a Safe Cracker. I've only played the Visual Pinball version so had a bit of experience with it but this was a whole other animal playing it in person. First of all this game is so FAST. The smaller table means the ball bangs around so quick. But that speed made it so much fun. And Multiball is crazy fun when you get that going. A lot of keeping those balls in play is just instinct since the balls are moving so fast - and don't even think of trying to trap the balls during multiball with the tiny flippers. I kept going back to it since I was having a blast. And even with the time limit in place it wasn't a big deal. You could win additional time. I had a few games that went on for quite awhile. I really hope this one makes it to TPA.

On Friday I don't think many people found this back room. Each time I went there were only a handful of people. So I got to play like four games in a row of Star Trek and still no one was waiting. Pretty incredible. Banzai Run I spent a lot of time playing too since I never played that in person. It was pretty fun and would love that to make to TPA too.
