Wizard Of OZ Pinball

I agree with Swinks - my experience was very much the same as his.

I've read there's a GI mod available to light up the PF, thanks for review swinks :-)

Peter

you would hope all machines coming off the production line now have the upgrade in it as standard and then a retro kit for the owners out there

I am amazed it got this far and was not improved, maybe it was a case of hypnotised eyes with all the flashing hippie leds. Don't get me wrong, build quality looked incredible and beautiful looking machine just a bit too busy with lights but if anything it is forcing Stern to go led's and colour changing for modes etc, but Stern are now chasing JJP's price tag which will only affect their sales and changes the whole market place.

fix the GI and this could be better as well as a program update and it can just get better again.

Video of new code (1.22) for those interested:

what do think of the GI looks pretty dark, seems to be a common complaint, Are you meant to be able to play pins in the dark anyway, when i had 6 pins going i only could play 3 of them in the dark 
Regular updates of the code is a good thing tho.

the pin is bright but due to the lack of GI all you tend to see is blazing insert lighting and alot of the playfield appears to be dark due to the contrast - just not pleasant playing in a low lit place

turn your game room lights on - different story.

Another nice 1.22 video here from Daniel Tonks at Pinplay (www.pinplay.com), he provided the following comment with the video:

So, Jersey Jack Pinball’s got this snazzy new v1.22 software for The Wizard of Oz with tons of new stuff, and do you think I can record a decent game to save my life? Nope! The one really good game I had was spoiled by a freaky stuck ball in an impossible place that required removing the glass to get to! Agghhh!

I’m not done trying yet, but I thought I’d post the best of the worst for this morning. Which is indeed pretty bad, so don't take it out on the game! However, in this particular game I did manage to get all the way through There’s No Place Like Home for the first time ever, and there’s a match at the end of the game, so that’s something – but if you’re looking for new modes, they simply aren’t here. Well, I do start Weak Flippers... but there’s nothing much to see with that! Mostly you’ll be able to check out the changes made to regular gameplay, such as hurry-ups, Glinda, new audio, and new lightshows.

And another of 1.22 by Daniel Tonks at Pinplay, lots of modes to see here (including reversed-flipper mode):

I notice that there will be an anniversary edition of woz with more toys and red trim

Only $9000

 Beginning of November, 40 years ago  "The Exorcist" was released and IMO still remains the scariest film ever made.
A much more worthy anniversary and a much better pinball title than WOZ.
I will laugh my tits off the day my pinball tells me " Your mother sucks c*cks in hell"... oh please.. someone do it!

Scariest film ever made.....dunno about that but it is a great film for sure. A timeless classic.
Not a pinball theme I would be interested in though.

+1 Brilliant film. Caused widespread panic on it's opening nights because punters thought is was based on real events. "Scariest film of all time" - that deserves its own thread !

If JJP wanted this license then the game could be released to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the film

Beginning in November, 40 years ago, AC/DC were unleashed around Sydney pubs. 1973 was a devilishly good year.

Two thumbs up for this post. Now I need to start a pinball company and make this a reality.
