I was wondering if it was my skills or the game... but Flash Gordon is a real killer, ball seems to find its way to outlane faster than i can say GO !

So i'd like to know, for you, what are the worst outlanes on a game ? Where the ball seems attracted no matter what...

1. Flash Gordon, down the drain it goes !! (i love the game, but damn its hard to have a good ball)
2. STTNG, ok now i think its my skills.. cause STTNG outlanes are killing me as well ! If the ball goes there, 99% of the time it will choose outlane rather than inlane


Currently owning:
- Solar Fire, Medusa, Flash Gordon, (Centaur), No Fear

You are not wrong here, ST:TNG is quite possibly the worst game ever for out lane drains. The other is Getaway, I once read a rule sheet on Getaway and it said "The object of the Game is to RE-Light the Kickback!" Not really the answer, but you get the drift!

Isn't there a set of lane quides made for ST:TNG that are designed to cut down on the massive drain issue? Paul gave me something like that to sell on ebay - I haven't gotten around to listing them yet - pretty sure that's what he said they were for.

Yep, Flash Gordon is the king of outlane drains (with no kickbacks or anything).  It is so hard to play games that last a bit longer.

ToTAN is pretty bad for both SDTM and outlane drains (although these have ball catchers).

I know STTNG is notorious on RGP ... but flash is just plain mean.  Its almost as if it does a direct loop from plunger to drain.  And then Ming laughs at you to rub it in.
