I know that the game is in it's infancy and I know that I am usually one of Sterns critics, bashers or whatever you want to call them but I've got a feeling that this game will be a classic.

I think the Pro would look extra amazing if someone did some custom powdercoating work on the side rails and legs and lockdown bar etc.

It's hard to tell from the photos but the Pro might look extra great with a bright shiny purple powder coat with some green slime powdercoating added here and there as a extra feature.

Congrats to those who have already ordered.
Playfield toys and features look extra amazing.
Thanks to those who posted videos and links etc.

There's a guy in America that mods new games then sells them, they where talking about going with the purple powder coat :) I agree would look awesome. I'm liking the game more and more :)
is Peter contemplating a new game? It would go real well with the furniture in you games room

Saw a picture of a player with his arms crossed over. Looks like there may be a "don't cross the beams" mode where the flippers are reversed. That will do my head in as Black Hole lower playfield always did.

that was Keith Elwin, top pinball player that is also making the custom Archer game. Apparently there is a mode once you achieve some goals the flippers cross - maybe a crossed proton beams - sounds like fun.

yeah this game may have a few surprises. Maybe stern have become a bit more adventurous and allowing some new stuff like the slings and pin2000 image. They may not pay off but at least they gave it a go. I hope they do hit the mark. Any other interesting modes? I still don't understand the subway ramp, sometimes the ball will divert or something

I think like the pro depends if a mode is activated the ball will shoot down the  and exit the ramp and other times will go into the ghost containment centre. On the pro it is a virtual ball lock but the premium / le it is a real unseen virtual lock and then a multiball kicks in and the balls either eject from the vuk or the shooter lane. The vuk is also probably a backup for the rare time a ball might not make it out of the ramp.

Once you light the lock insert when the balls go in the subway they will divert into the MB holding area :) if the lock light isn't lit and the balls go into the subway ramp they won't divert but instead continue along ramp and it'll exit :) that's what I make of it :) it's a cool feature :) I prefer actual locks I miss that with KISS.

Thanks guys. I have been watching some more of the game plays and it does seem like a drain monster. The wider flipper spacing doesn't seem to help. I think it will be a challenge as I like games with shorter plays. What's the chances the games will have maybe a provision for a centre flipper post?

or you can go for my custom 3 1/8" flipper bats  &&

CFTBL is the same flipper spacing as nearly all of Trudeau's games,  you will actually get used to it

ha ha, any chance of making 4" ones, that should close the gap to near nothing
