[QUOTE="phreaker47, post: 92917, member: 853"] Of all the tables I did play back in the day, and I played most all of them (especially the earlier SS games)... yet SOMEHOW, I don't remember ever seeing this table at the many many haunts I made my rounds through (back when there was SOMETHING with video/pinball just about every other block). And this thing is so good, I know I wouldn't have forgotten playing it. Maybe at most, I walked by one somewhere once or twice if even that. And get this... it doesn't even suck on Vita! It plays very smooth even with 5 balls. This might fast become my #1 overall favorite (in part because it's new to ME) As for strategy (noticed there's no stickied strategy thread here yet), it seems the #1 thing to do besides shoot for ORBS in order and multiball is to get that Collect Bonus from the right lane target, and time the shot from a trap for the high multiplier (shoot just after 3x lights... that's about the right time). A 5x collect can be hundreds of thousands. It's the single highest scoring shot available. And btw, one of the great design elements of this table is that for ONCE, center drop targets are NOT drain monsters! FOR ONCE!! The inlane/outlanes are entirely fair and you can get the bumper save from the outlane about as often as you could fairly hope... which is to say, a bit less than half the time in my experience. Still looking for the perfectly timed/directed nudge to help those odds a bit. Oh, and this table LETS you nudge! That's also really great... sick of tables like Genie where any single nudge at any time can be a tilt. [/QUOTE]
