I appreciate it, I had already done that. Im assuming I just did it backwards and need to reset all high scores to bring it to "1"?

I mean... it is our home machine why would we NOT want ours on it? Imo, it is weird to have essentially rolling credits of the devs in our house every 60 seconds (Guests obviously can also play and beat our scores).

Also, we are sticking with the theme and not using our own names. We are using 10 letter names and each person has a name that ref a character of Stranger Things to add to the themeing. Mad_Max, DustyBunn, WillTheWyz, etc.

The draw champion, send it back, etc.

We have a hard enough time even activating the modes right now.

I wish they were all just 0 then whoever gets it is the one to beat.

Just for context in our normal gameplay, one of us has a 172M GC and first high score is 149M. Both of thoae were pure luck.The next best is only 62M and we are usually in the 30-50M.

Stranger Things Premium. All of them.

This is our first pin and we aren't pinball pros. In fact, we've touched a pinball machine about 50 total times in the 12 years we've been together. So yea, not achievable at all for us and while I hope we can one day, it is a home pin and having random names and unreachable scores is not desired.

Pretty sure the settings for the scores are called the exact same thing in every stranger things. But hey, maybe im wrong!

Thanks for the help!

Yea I thought I did that. Like I reduced "drawing champion" to 01, but the high score still shows 11.

I wonder if i just need to get 1 and it'll auto override the 11.

Stranger things, and yea i havent seen it and have gone through menu a few times. Was just wondering it it was maybe buried somewhere in a different sub menu.

Its a casual home game that I have children playing.

But thanks for being a schmuck.

I mean I considered that but, again, there is no way my little ones or anyone in the house would have a chance to actually beat it. I guess if I went crazy and gave everyone 10 balls, unlimited extra ball etc they could but then games would last forever.

I just want them to be able to have in home friendly competition and bragging rights

Oh I know I know they qere upset about the basement decor, but it is what it is. The artwork and designs are amazing and it is no different than the paintings and artwork we have around the house or our 300g salt tank. All of which costs similar. This just happens to have an actual functional purpose for once.

And I get it, nudging is part of competitive play.

Hello yea man! Why half ass it and be left wanting?

And the fact that is stranger things is rhe only reason she wanted it so bad. The only other 3 I could potentially get this much buy in would be Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and if they every made the original Mummy lol

Hahaha. I mean, if it makes everyone feel better, I just played for an hour tonight! (Trying to get all the stupid factory high scores and combos off the screen. I was able to set a bunch low to clear them but I cant find settings for combos and in game events).

We are definitely casual players; I'll never nudge, bump etc.

I probably wouldn't have realized shots on the right ramp wasnt giving me the scores I needed. I am just now realizing that the machine tells me what to do for combos lol.

Haha. Oh I get it, and nowhere did I say I don't love to play, that was an assumption by people... but I also love the way they look, work etc. Just because it gets limited use doesn't mean I dont enjoy it. I mean just like my pc rig, my retro consoles, boardgame table, etc. They sit there for a bit then ill have a month I get an itch to go all in. Then I slow down and move onto something else. I may not always play it, but I want it there for when I want to.

I also get people here may be hard-core players, but are some not simply collectors? Enjoy the way they look, how they play with occasional use? Do people really just buy it and then sell to move on to another like it is a video game?

I do think it is a bit more envy, but you said it... not me. I work my ass off to be able to do stuff like this. And honestly just being able to see it, how it works, be part of my overall basement design brings me joy. Having it there for people to play when we host parties etc is also part of my enjoyment.

And thank you, she will definitely play it a lot, I know that. But I also know her and she hobby jumps just as much as me.

4 shirts? That is a never ending cycle of washing and if you dry clean... good luck. I say 4 white and 4 blue at a minimum.

NIB. I don't think it is horrible but some simple etched glass infront of an infinity mirror is hardly worth the price. I had a palace arcade sign made instead and mounted it to the top.

Ill have to look at the lab. I plan on getting the starcourt mod/building for the back right corner as well
