I don't want to upset anyone, but after having a game at Marks (Marta Hari), I found it extremely easy and boring. I remember plaing these games and thinking they were fun, but since the advent of DMD, I can't get into them. I reckon I could have played this game for ever without too much trouble keeping the ball in play.
Sounds like the MH needs some attention then. Because all those late 70's Bally symmetrical layouts had pretty unforgiving outlanes. It should be the case where you can kick it's arse one minute and the next it will make you look like a noob.
Mata Hari and Hot Hand needed work. In all fairness, comparing a reconditioned DMD to a reconditioned (or non reconditioned) SS or EM is not an even playing field. To get an SS up to a standard of a machine 17 years its junior requires more time spent on it.
Hey Nino, what could I have expected from a recon MH just out of interest? Reason being is that I have looked on ebay and see games like MH, Buck Rogers, Centaur etc that I have fond memories of, and considered adding one to my collection, but after playingone game and scoring 200+K on the first ball and letting it drain kinda changed my thinking. Maybe it was playing slow or something. Mate I knocked down all the targets heaps of times and completed A & B even more times. I'd love to be swayed into dreaming of owning an SS or even an EM if possible
