hi,
today i tried to play my favorite pinball machines (creature from the black lagoon) and it was acting up veyr weirdly. when i pushed start to start a new game, the game shot the ball out like normal except the playfield was lit up like it was already halfway thru a game........the special when lit outlanes were lit on ball 1. it would not give me a flashing skill shot (paid) to shoot for, the "kiss" letters did not flash for that skill shot either. also the extra ball was already lit up before i even shot the ball up. but the game will start out at 0 points and accumulate them, and it will end game like normal too.
i tried turning it on and off again....didnt help it. i tried to reset factory settings in the diagnostics menu and that still didnt fix it. anyone else have similair problems?

is it possible it could be bad ram? and that i need to take out and reinstall the batteries?
thanks
dave
 
ok i fixed it. i removed the batteries and waited about 1-2 minutes then reinstalled them and it fixed it. now the game plays like normal.
im just trying to learn, but can anyone out there explain how/why i had to do that? i mean one day it was playing fine, next day it was acting all weird......
i like to keep this one going because its fun to play
