best jackpot in a pinball
« on: March 08, 2013, 09:42:44 PM »
Seeing I have probably responded to every 'best of' thread here, I thought what is the best JACKPOT thrill in a pinball title. I really feel like I achieved something getting the Funhouse jackpot.

1. I reckon its not easy to get
2. I love the way Rudy screams

The loudest or biggest bang for a jackpot sound wise is from Twilight Zone but score wise it can be a little disappointing as most wives probably know in other departments  &&

I'm a bit naïve in the dmd jackpot thingy out there as I really I know well the games I own, so are there others that have a jackpot that telly makes you think you achieved something?

A good thread.  A few come to mind.

AC/DC has screaming guitar sols's which is very cool

Gilligans Island has KONA the Volcano going off

Starship Troopers has KILL THEM ALL and really cool music

Fishtales has the flapping fishtail on the headbox which can be extremely loud

Godzilla has the roaring lizard himeslf and police sirens going off

and I could be here all night remembering all the other DMD machines.

A good point to add, is everyone shld make sure they have the latest game rom in their machine, cause if u havent, once u upgrade, u will get better dmd annimations and even cooler noises on jackpots n multiballs etc.
Its worth checking the Internet Pinball Data Base for your machine and see if u have the latest game roms.

Sometimes the best Jackpot is when u get to hear n see something on a game u hadnt noticed before, it happens all the time.

Best thrill was firing the ACDC canon and hitting the flashing drop target for a 168M jackpot. Great feeling!
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.

2. I love the way Rudy screams



I hear ya man, Rudy's terrified scream, with eyes wide open  ^%^ and gaping jaw $$( is the greatest pinball jackpot I have seen.

+1 and the score actually does reflect an achievement when scoring a million+ is like winning tattslotto. Tz jackpot of 15M or so is jack in the scheme of things.

The super jackpot HS2 is awesome. It's great when get the first jackpot then you can load 2 or 3 balls into the supercharger, then hit the jackpot again

Don't know about the best....but I really like the vocals on IJ when you achieve jackbot, double jackpot and triple jackpot.  And you definitely can't go past Elvira telling you you've achieved jackpot on Scared Stiff  :D

On Whitewater - the whole machine goes beserk - like you've stuffed something.  Personally, i reckon the System Failure on Jurassic Park is better than Whitewater - similar effect, but done better.

In terms of Jackpot calls - the Super in Indiana Jones and LOTR are very well done
