[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 62616, member: 152"] The ruleset for Whodunnit? has medium depth. There's a couple of multiballs, various rounds played from moving the elevator to different floors, and the attempt to catch the suspect on the roof (which is what passes for the game's "wizard mode"; most people say it doesn't have one). Side attractions include playing the slots and betting on roulette, and some various combo shots and so forth. Out of the tables I mentioned, though, Whodunnit? is probably the least suitable in terms of matching the list of features you asked for. I mentioned it primarily for the multiballs and the voiceovers. I will also warn you the scoring is a bit unbalanced, particularly Penthouse Party, in which you can loop the elevator shot very quickly for 10M+10M, no limit...so it's quite possible to score 1B+ in 20 seconds, and 3B+ if you stack a multiball on it...and the betting for roulette can get a little silly as well. I once won 665M in one shot from roulette in a league game. If it were me, I'd go for Fish Tales, which will give you the spinner, lane change, 3-ball MB and the voice work. Ruleset is not terribly deep beyond multiball, but it is pretty broad - you have things like Rock the Boat, Feeding Frenzy and Monster Fish to keep you entertained in between multiballs. Great music work, too, if you're into that. Congo, Flintstones and TFTC will have the deeper rulesets. Tales from the Crypt may actually have all of what you asked for (I'm not sure on the drop targets), but it's a Data East machine. [/QUOTE]
