[QUOTE="Trackball, post: 256091, member: 5924"] Rules are pretty darn simple for 1992, but it does make me want to see the rest of Alvin G's library. I've heard some really great things about Mystery Castle, but man, talk about hard to find. Anyway...I only have one major sticking point, and it's not the table's fault--it's Pinball Arcade's. I've already got all the Wizard Goals, except for one: Score a 200M Jackpot. That's all well and good...except for the fact that if you cradle a ball or two on a flipper, the jackpot value actually goes DOWN the longer you hold it up! This makes it just about impossible to aim for the spinning ramp (which is otherwise a really neat feature) during multiball--you just have to embrace chaos...to say nothing of balls hitting a slingshot and making a beeline for the opposite outlane, but isn't that what an arcade machine designed to draw in money is supposed to do? Until I ran into that one Wizard Goal, I admit, I was having a lot of fun with this table--it was a very pleasant surprise. I'm sure that once I get that 200M Jackpot and the achievement that comes with it, I'll stop being so frustrated and will actually have fun again, but right now, it just seems like a serious grind, at the whims of randomness. That being said, wow. Hey Farsight, bring us any more Alvin G tables you can find! I'm serious! [/QUOTE]
