Medieval Madness video mode

[Cow Corner]

Is there a MM video mode?
I have been playing it recently at a friends house and the video mode seems to be part of the software and of late every time I play it that is what I am trying to find..for no other reason because it may be there. On the game it says spell fire 4 times to light video mode. There is no video mode insert on the pf and there seems to be no way to start the mode. It is also on the Merlins magic list for a random award.
Are there any MM owners out there who have obtained the video mode or is it just a part of missing bally/wms code due to cutbacks or whatever.
I have heard of guys getting 500 mill + on this low scoring game....is it there?
Bloody Brilliant game imo...even without the phantom video mode.

you have to save the children from the evil birds by stabbing them with a pitchfork (the birds that is)

cant remember for the life of me how to get it though

Okay, finally cleared the last wizard goal I had on Medieval, winning the video mode... (Yeah, I actually beat the kingdom first, lol)

So, on complete accident, I found out during the course of the video mode you have a "Bird Bomb" not unlike the troll bomb. Once per video mode, you can hit the plunger, and it nukes every bird on screen, even if they're carrying a baby away that you couldn't catch.

Makes it a lot easier, figured people would like to know if they didn't. :-)

Once you beat all the Wizard goals, you can turn off the tilt sensor, so you can shake your way to impossible scores. gggood luck cc

I have no idea thats why Cow Corner asked..!

My fore arms are still sore from the workout given to MM on Sunday..

The left and right outlanes are the F I R E letter switches. You can change the lit/unlit letter with the flipper buttons so that you don't have to drain the ball to get all the letters lit.

You have to complete the F I R E letters a certain number of times to enable Video Mode as an option in Merlins Magic (I think the minimum number you can set the machine to in adjustments is 5 times.)

Once the required number of FIRE letters has been completed, Video Mode will be "enabled" and show up in Merlins Magic as an option, and the machine will then automatically choose that Mode once the ball is hit into Merlins Magic the next time.

The F I R E outlanes:




Barnyard Multiball is another "hidden" mode - homework for tonight is to find out how to achieve it. (Hint: Moo)

 

[Cow Corner]

Cool, thanks very much for all the replies.
If I can get some more quality time on this game I will keep trying to acheive it as well as all the other great modes etc.
Barnyard multiball sounds fun, would love to hear how to get that too...yeah there are lots of cow referances on pinball..I like it when CV moos in attract mode.
Cheers.

No worries, CC. 

Barnyard multiball -

Shoot the catapult 5 times and launch one of each of the icons:
Cow, Chook, Cat, Bowling Ball, Skull.

Once complete the next time you land in the catapult you get Barnyard multiball (which includes a techno version of "Old McDonald had a farm" on the soundtrack while BM is underway.)

Audio file only below: (spoiler)

There is also ONE MORE hidden video mode in MM called "Save the Calves" - which is a modified version of the Save the Children video mode described above.



....and who said MM was overrated? 

[Cow Corner]

Very cool, thanks heaps pinsanity much appreciated.

and it is about to get even better.....

There is a colored DMD (or to be precise color LCD) which is being worked on and is to be released shortly (since each one is game specific, a color AFM version is going to be released first in the next few weeks and an MM version will follow shortly after)

Check out the just released preview and see what you think....

Thats cool, and a MOD I'd consider, price pending of course. Any speculation of price yet. Oh, and some swear ROMS while your at it.
