OK, I am having a good look at this BSD I picked up and I know there are some Huge supporters of this game here so...
Lightning flippers or normal? Skill Shot? I assume hit the target when the middle is lit? Top 3 lanes? move around with flippers for?? Rats? Bats? Alligat... never mind Left ramp/orbit for? right orbit for video and?? Lane beside right orbit for Coffin (I think) and? Am I missing anything? 3 Multiballs are?
Forgive me for such basic questions, but I am not in front of the game right now.
I am really trying to Love this game...
Oh, One more thing... What is up with the different volumes in this game?? Are they adjustable? Pop's are really loud, Ball save really loud "LOVE NEVER DIES!!!!!" other sounds at a nice controllable level...
One more question, not play but tech, Is the Mist Multiball motor/gear box quite loud on all games or just this one?
Thanks! Dave

From what I have read: 1. Dracula was designed with regular flippers but was changed to lightning flippers to keep the ball times shorter. Many owners are divided as to which are better. 2. The volume does change for some of the sound clips... This is intended to add to the 'atmosphere' of the game. I have no idea if they're adjustable.
Quite a few members own, or have owned one... I'm sure that they can give you the information that you want.
Have fun Adam

Lightning flippers or normal? --> Yep normal Skill Shot? I assume hit the target when the middle is lit? --> You got it right Top 3 lanes? move around with flippers for?? --> Bonus multiplier Rats? --> Adds up this total after EACH balls so make it on the first one Bats? --> Same as Rats ! Alligat... never mind Left ramp/orbit for? --> Make it 3 times to light Bats, theres also a loop high score on that ramp and finally it will lock castle balls and maybe a fe other things i forgot.. right orbit for video and?? --> thats about it, will also give 10 millions on mist multiball (or 2x, 3x if you double/triple stacked) Lane beside right orbit for Coffin (I think) and? --> Lite all 5 lights and it will allow you to lock balls in coffin. Will also collect DRACULA letters in multiball to get the coffin jackpot Am I missing anything? --> Double and triple-stack multiballs to multiply the jackpots, very cool 3 Multiballs are? Castle, mist and coffin, start 2 of them at the same time for 2x and all 3 for 3X stacked multiballs (a must, you dont like BSD until you triple stacked THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRTY MILLLLLLLLIONS !!
Oh, One more thing... What is up with the different volumes in this game?? Are they adjustable? Pop's are really loud, Ball save really loud "LOVE NEVER DIES!!!!!" other sounds at a nice controllable level... --> Not sure, mine wasnt unbalanced but i kinda forgot about that, pop are making a huge noise indeed..
One more question, not play but tech, Is the Mist Multiball motor/gear box quite loud on all games or just this one? Its was loud on its way back on mine as well...

Lightning! normal flippers will kill the gameplay (easier ) and kill your plastics!

Skill Shot? I assume hit the target when the middle is lit?
correct
Quoted from pins_only
Top 3 lanes? move around with flippers for??
times X and points ... nothing big here (well except the sound )
Quoted from pins_only
Rats? Bats?
as early as possible, as often as possible
Quoted from pins_only
Left ramp/orbit for?
bonus stuff, extra ball, loop champion GO FOR IT!
Quoted from pins_only
right orbit for video and??
and get to the pops in rat/bat mode
Quoted from pins_only
Lane beside right orbit for Coffin (I think) and?
that's it.
Quoted from pins_only
3 Multiballs are?
Castle, myst, coffin. Myst is the one that will give you points for every shot and the one that's X2 and X3 with the 2 others which only gives you jackpots ( and the best animations/experience of all pinball! )

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
As I've said numerous times before, out of the 15 machines that have come and gone in my collection, it's the only one that I regret selling.
It is the game that will make you look weak...
