I had to go downtown today and was at Union station. Made a stop at the arcade and i played a couple games of The Simpsons. nice game.
On my way out i stopped to ponder about having a quick beer before my train comes.... in the corner of my eye i see the Twilight Zone game!!

So , i turn around and drop a few loonies into it. Boy was it fun! First game i wracked up about 1.8 million and got something with the gumball and multiballs... All fluke i'm sure and the game was screaming like crazy!! This score may be low, and i may not be accurate in my description..my first time as i said.

Anyhow i understand the hype of the game and want one also

Many of you own this game and or play it regulary in your clubs.. Just wanted to share my first time.

All of those games at that arcade are for sale, i already enquired about STNG awhile back... but i'm afraid to ask what they want for it

Weird, I thought most people (like myself) hated TZ on first play and only warmed up to it once you've figured out what you're supposed to be doing?

I played TZ for the first time last weekend! I didn't really know what I was doing, but had fun anyways! It's a fantastic pin in every sense, and I definitely want one in the near future!

I played TZ only a few times and yes , it is a fun game . When i picked up my centaur , the seller owned one . First time i played it and had the 7th best score , but didn ' t know why . Samething with most DMD ' s i play with . I guess that ' s why i ' m so faithful to the late 70's early 80's SS era ...

Keep the ball on the playfield for as long as you can. Can't go wrong with this approach

If you play it with people standing over your shoulder just trying to max out points it really is a harsh game but if your on your own and play several games to put it through it's paces, it's probably one of the most rewarding games to play IMHO.
