You can have all 4 villains going (including Doc Ock multiball), plus a mode, plus black suit multiball. Now that's stacking!!


Sorry jonny but TSPP is the king of stacking, SM doesn't even hold a candle to the stacking opportunities available in TSPP

I know, but that's not available NIB, and sinpin already owns it. What was the point of this thread again?

I'm personally not a fan of shaker motors, they make sense in some games like Earthshaker and Roadshow but there isn't a modern Stern where I think it could use a shaker motor and the current trend to just add a shaker motor to everything seems silly to me.  


I think the shaker motor works really well in Spiderman. After playing ME's black Spiderman for so long, I know find myself missing the shaker. Going to add that sometime.

I've always said that SM is a game you can flail around on and not ever really understand what's going on and still rack up a good score.  


OK, THAT totally explains why I got good score on it at Nick's one time then....and here I thought I was actually getting better at pinball...

I like the shaker motor in games.  The Monger in IM coming out of the hole is great, or when you hit a target. SM with Doc Ock.  If you played a game with it and then played it with out, you will miss it.  I would like to play a LOTR gold with one just to see how it works with gameplay.

I wouldn't call it an issue, it's more a personal preference.  It's also not about the DMD it's just a feeling.  



Like when you hit Borg multiball or Warp 9 on STTNG    Total rush..

So if I buy the shaker for SM at $240 (price seems right?) I have been told it is very easy to install myself in SM.  Does this mean that it would also be very easy to remove from SM and install in my LOTR.

I know I am getting more into technical talk but if I can buy the shaker and have the option to put it inside any new Stern that would be cool too...

I think I am sold on SM.  Just need to decide to Shake or not to Shake...

Oh I just realized that the original LOTR does not have the shaker code built into it so I am assuming that is a NO GO for the Shaker.  So the price from Playdium for the shaker is $240 yet Pinball life has them for $170...  Why such a difference?  Since buying my machine at Playdium it makes sense to buy it from them but $70 more???
