Today I met Wade at the local go-kart/arcade during lunch. I got word they had switched out their pins again.
Their current line-up:
Attack From Mars - shopped out
Batman - Still sucks, did not play
Fishtales - they've had it for a while, but it was working this time. Used it as a coat rack. Did not play.
Monster Bash - Fully working but had some broken parts.
I was really excited to play a real Attack From Mars finally. With it even being about the cleanest route game I have ever seen, I was fairly underwhelmed. Maybe I built this game up too big in my head I don't know, but it wasn't very fun at all...
Monster Bash on the other hand, was a BLAST! Definitely has one of the highest 'fun factors' of any game I have played. The VUK ramp was bent horribly, and the VUK launched the ball directly at the glass!
I can confirm the glass is tempered on this one.
Being that the VUK scoop was bent, it was nearly impossible to hit that shot. Other than that, the flippers were slightly weak. They had all of their pins adjusted so the outlanes were as wide as possible. However, the replay on MB was set at a stationary 5 million. In other words, unless you just absolutely laid a stinker game you got a replay! We played head to head 3 rounds near the end (for free), and I expect Wade played for free well after I left.
My only wish was that the audio would have been a bit louder on MB. I could hear it, but not very well.
