Nino I agree the latest update is poor but you will have the heavens on fire wizard mode now which you activate by lighting the grid twice! Can't remember other features as I've moved mine on and the buyer has also moved it on lol. Huge title great theme great art poor code has ruined it for me.

Funny you mention "Heaven's On Fire" mode. The luminaries at Stern selected a song that was released in 1984. Yet the game features artwork circa 1978. Of course, Stern didn't do their homework on the BG artwork, as Gene didn't develop the "axe" bass until 1984, yet the artwork is from the Love Gun / Alive II period of 1978. I can live with that - but it does demonstrate how thick Stern are..

Code has ruined the game and it is the sole reason I didn't commit to Ghostbusters.
I don't mind the coding on gb. Hope there are further releases though.

GB shipping code was already ahead of KISS and TWD at release. TWD had a couple of updates that made it an excellent game (compared to shipping code). But this was done within 3 months. We are 11 months since KISS was released and we have code changes for the topper, Bill dispenser and the inlanes. Still has major flaws and missing key aspects (Cities etc). Not good enough.
