True story about this game I'll never forget: Back when T2 was a new game, one of the best "local" arcades in Las Vegas was a place called Mary K's (formerly Genie Moore's) in the Commercial Center, on Sahara Ave. about a mile east of the Strip. They got one of these in when it was new, and I played the living hell out of it. The two best pinball players in this place were myself, and another guy about my age (early 20s) named Sal. We would often play heads up on the pinball games, with the winner getting the "free" 3rd credit for putting 4 quarters into the game. Anyway, I went first, and with extra balls added in I had a score of over 4 BILLION at the end of ball one. I already had the top score on the machine with two more balls to go. Sal stepped up to take his first turn, and I could tell that his stance at the game was not right. His legs were *very* close to the front of the game's cabinet, and therefore his left knee was only half an inch or so from the Start button. You can guess what happened next.... Sal deliberately hit the Start button on the game, therefore causing the machine to reset and go into the start of a whole new game, my 4 billion plus score permanently erased. Jealous motherfucker then just stands there giving me all these fake apologies and looking sheepish. This is one of the few times in my life that I seriously considered beating the living fuck out of another person. It wouldn't have been tough to do given that I was slightly taller than Sal and had at least 100 pounds on him. I was chubby, but I bowled several times a week and rode a bicycle all over Las Vegas, so I wasn't out of shape. Best pinball game of my life, ruined over someone else's petty jealousy and wanting to keep his initials at the top of the leaderboard. Now I have this game in the Pinball Arcade on my PS3, and I'm once again reliving the good old days. Minus Sal's dorky pinhead ass.

Well... ok... but a player hitting the start button during Ball 1 will just put in another player, not restart the game. If this really happened it sounds like a reason not to ever play heads-up again, and surely you were capable of another 4 billion some other time, right? I'll ask Sal for his take on this incident the next time I see him. He's a nice guy.
@progrocker6910 жыл бұрын
Maybe it was ball 2 then. But the game being reset and my score I do remember. And sure, I could have tried for another score that good, but my experience with losing that one game the way I did just turned me off from playing the game at all afterwards. And you know Sal? Skinny blonde-haired guy about 6 feet tall? Used to hang out in the Mary K's arcade I mentioned, like all the time? I thought you guys were out in Pennsylvania? And anyway, I saw him later in the 90s after coming back to Vegas from 3 years away. I'm not mad at him any more.

Bowen Kerins A trip to the PHoF is definitely "in the cards" for me. I haven't even been there yet but I only live about 3 miles from it, literally in the shadow of the UNLV campus. When money's not so tight I'll be hanging out there when I can. It looks like such an awesome place! Thanks for taking the time to chat, Bowen. I've really been enjoying all of your videos for some time now and I'd love to meet you by chance at the HoF eventually. :-)

yeahhhh especially that right ramp, the left you can avoid if you slightly bump the game to the side to make the ball bump off the cannon targets. You can see that technique being used on this video as well although he is doing it when the ball comes down off the loops.

This is awesome. I've been focused FOREVER on hitting the ramps and getting payback time, never been obsessed with Super Jackpot, to be honest, I never hit it so I try for payback time. When I'm playing well I can slap that right loop on the left flipper three times in a row, or if my timing is good I can get to payback time without a missed ramp. Great video.
@shteebo Жыл бұрын
Yes, I always liked Arnold's voice-over on the sequence toward Payback Time, building the tension. I'd wind up saying them to myself in Arnold voice while I did chores and such: "silent alarm de-activated", "vault key secured", "load the cannon". I'm sure people thought I was nuts.

And I was bummed they didn't introduce these tables into the normal game. As I didn't know there was a kickstarter due to my inefficiency at mulching the internet quite like that. I wish they would have involved those tables. Because T2, and Addams family I have played quite a bit. And Twilight Zone is a no-brainer.

no, you can't. rely on the lights. and for super jackpot, fire the instant the second from bottom lights during the upswing of the cannon, just like Bowen does here. This works on 90% of all t2 games at least, including ones where the cannon moves at double speed. Have fun. amaze your friends by not walking to the side of the game to look. I make the super jackpot first try on most T2 games i can find on location. This does NOT work in TPA, though. :( Also, it might fail in PAPA finals, as the game will have been modded to make it harder. but
