Hyperball broken AGAIN! *** profanity laden rant!!! ***

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!

Worked perfectly over July 4th for hours. Turned the fucking thing on eotday, NO GI at all!
Start a game, Fucking auger not working now.


SON OF A BITCH!!!!

DONT EVER BUY A FUCKING HYPERBALL!!!! MOST FUCKING ANNOYING GAME EVER!!!!

<sigh>

And now I have WAY too much into it to sell it at anything but a HUGE loss. SHIT! :(

Thank you, that is all.

That sucks Chris... I'm at the same point with my Pinbot. After a string of problems, I had it working perfectly for 2 weeks. Drop targets aren't resetting now, I pulled them all apart, cleaned them, replaced coils, various other crap and still not working right.

I'm just sick of messing with it, so I've let it sit for a couple weeks. It sucks to have broken games, but if it's pissing you off that much, just take a break from it.
 
Sell it to some other sucker...buy a real pin to put in it's place.

I've never understood this machine, it's boring as shit to fire balls from a cannon at letter targets around the outside of the PF, and the fact it's a POS to maintain, WHY!?
It'd be like owning a Pole Position, only the one you own, there's no other cars and no timer...
 
While I won't defend Hyperball for being easy to maintain, I will defend it for being awesome and fun. I love the game, but it's one of those love it or hate it titles.

Just smile knowing you can always burn that f***er and show it who is boss.

Having said that, I wish you a simple repair --- and a long relationship with it.

i was that way with my heavy metal meltdown,just walk away. I was ready to sale it for half of what i had in it $1100.00 at this point and growing,but the guys in the pin section set me straight and pointed me in all the right directions. I see it everyday but dont stress anymore,besides the boards off getting repaired (another $100.00) just relax. Fix it,dont play it,then sale it,try to get most of your $ back. OR just keep fixin' it.
 
Thanks everyone for putting up with me on this.

IJTFCinder - When this game is working and dialed in, I think it is absolutely awesome. I don't find it boring at all, at least to me. It's like pure adrenaline. It's like a physical version of Robotron. It's fast, energetic and has great sounds.

I find (and don't know if this is true in your case at all) that people that normally don't like this game in the long run don't understand it. Not always, but alot of the time.

That said, this is the game EVERYONE that comes into the basement gravitates to more than any other. They are in awe of how different it is, and they like to shoot the crap out of stuff.

I will admit that. It is different. I personally find the game boring, but wow do people like to play it. I don't have a Hyberball, but the similar Rapid Fire and find it being played alot.

Even more so when I added the autofire/rapid fire mod

Hopefully its something simple and you can get it going again.
 
i feel your pain man i have a hyperball that the lcds wont register right..it seems like there is some kind of short in the power supply or something as not all of the lines on the lcd show up on the points and in playfield..i love this game but hate it too..
