Have u mastered the game yet ?  
No way, barely get there and a software upgrade resets the goal posts.

Do u fully understand the rules enough to keep getting beter scores, week by week ?
No, I just shoot anything that flashes, farts or moves. The game is intuitive with the lighted notes, leds, etc.

Things u like about the game, things u may not have warmed to ?
Like Ritchies voice and taunts, the music and lights, the shaker, the fast flow, multi ball, cannon shots, bell, theme.
Dislike hell, drains, thumper exit, some dead spots where ball gets stuck like right of E at top or on left drop targets.

Do u friends and family love the game ? 
Wife, and 3 daughters play always. The 6 yo loves TNT, 10 yo loves BIB, 15 yo loves War Machine. Wife loves Hell.
Friends are over more often so I reckon they like the game.

Has the AC/DC machine become a permanent keeper etc ?  
I am a hoarder so AC/DC joins my Flash which I have in storage for 31 years.

Do u play a 3 ball game or a 5 ball game?
3 ball with extra ball for high scores and credits.

Your highest score ?
265M with glass, 1350M without glass.....had to find the live Encore song, curiosity got the better of me.

Your favourite shots ?
Spinner on War Machine, left/right ramp combination 3 or more times in a row. Bell multiple times for 2x and 3x.

Do u like the bottom playfield (LE only) ?
No but I visit every so often for practice. I feel restricted and tight down there (not talkin about a tight pair of undies).

Overall happy with machine. Replaced 2 tri-leds as both had faulty reds. Found some loose nuts that were not tightened at factory. Chinese 89 flashes all burnt quickly. Replaced with European bulbs which have lasted for months.
The quality from Stern does not look as good as what I see online with WOZ from JJ but the AC/DC theme rocks. My long term concerns are the cannon mechanism/motor and the bell. Can they last the distance? When it goes, my canon motor replacement will NOT be Chinese!
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
