Well Brett where do I start! It's an awesome package as in artwork and sound and add in great movie grabs, the flow around the orbits is spot on I love the shot through the bumpers just like WH20 then into the top flipper which allows you to shoot another ramp or an even harder shot through Gem. The speed is about right for the PF layout not as fast as acdc but fast enough the spinning disk really shakes things up its very unpredictable at times. The games needs to be set up right and I think a shaker motor adds to the game making it more exciting. Rules are spot on and it's a hard game and as yet I haven't got to "portal" the wizard mode but I've had it lit but drained before making the arcade shot :( there's also "sea of simulation" a mini wizard mode. Multiballs are also fun with a coupe of different types which include "add a ball" with great jackpot  shots and so on. I've most likely missed a ton of stuff and to top it off I haven't played acdc for two weeks so that just shows how much I like this game.

BELOW IS WHAT A GUY SAID ON PINSIDE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS FUNNY:





12 reasons why Stern’s TRON: Legacy PRO pinball is the best Stern pinball in recent years.

12. It has a nice translite. (unlike World Poker Tour)
11.   It has two ramps, not just one. (unlike Avatar)
10.   It is not based on a TV Show which will soon be off the air. (Sopranos, CSI and 24)
9.   You can buy the PRO version and not feel like you are missing out. (AC DC)
8.   Its code is mostly complete. (unlike X-Men)
7.   The modes and multi-balls are actually fun. (unlike Transformers)
6.   It has a cool toy (the spinning disk) that actually enhances gameplay, not worsens it. (unlike the Rolling Stones and Mick on a stick).
5.   Ball times are not too long, like Spider-Man.
4.   Or too short, like Ironman.
3.   And the sub-wizard mode is attainable for intermediate players. (unlike Simpsons Pinball Party)
2. It has 3 flippers. Lord of the Rings only has 2. Everyone knows 3 is better than 2.

But the #1 reason is…
It is not Big Buck Hunter. This pinball has theme and styling in spades!

Sorry, I have been bitten by the TRON pinball bug. When I am not playing TRON, I am compelled to post in forums about how great it is. This post is tongue-in-cheek. I have some love left for other Stern creations. My other pinballs, however, are collecting dust and will be up for sale soon so I can buy more TRON mods.

Ahhh Pete........Who would'a thought you wouldn't play your AC/DC for 2 weeks due to another pinny...... %.%

Could not have said it better myself Pete.  ^^^

This game draws you in. Has got to be one of THE best sound and speach packages out there.

Hitting Quorra then nailing the right ramp is (while simple) VERY satisfying especially if you hit the ramp perfectly if flies around the ramp. Or even better hitting Quorra, then nailing Gem........... *)* *)*

Looks great...I like the 2nd one with the helmetted person in the middle that the guys got on their 2nd edition Trons more.(Gorgar n Cursed etc)

I heard Stern are doing another rerun of 100 more Trons cause the other rerun of 100 sold like hotcakes. Ironman is supposed to be getting redone as well and Avatar. Re-runs are a great idea for those who missed out originally and it means more new pinnys in peoples houses. Excellent.

Thanks for sharing that photo Swinksy(Jady). Great detective work as usual.  ^^^

Double agree, it is not an easy game that I play for huge long games (like my Indy Williams) and if it is not set right it drains like crazy.. Bit like BSD, very unforgiving of flippant play ;-) but for the same reason very satisfying when you do OK..

Also has some of the best mods around at the moment, I have the little tron arcade in already, shaker was already there and have ordered the Flynn sign and have the light wires ready to go in once my new right ramp arrives..

Great look and sounds as stated, but if you put LEDs in it in my opinion they have to be the ones with capacitors otherwise it gets a bad strobe effect and is rather distracting (for me anyway)..

I still think the original release with the 3D translite is the best.

I agree, though maybe I am just biased as it is the one I managed to get..  %.%
