The new troll is bigger, and has a tongue that he spits out at you when you squeeze him. We went through her collection of Trolls, and she picked one out to put in place of the stock troll. The framework was there for an awesome game, but was never completed.ДЄs for our RCT, my wife was a troll fan when we were kids. I mean, is there a more worthless upper flipper looping shot in pinball? The modes are horribly uninspiring except for power ride and toss your cookies.

RCT feels like a VERY incomplete game to me, and is missing all the Lawlor nuances in the code that you just know he would have meant to be there. I seem to remember reading a gameroom magazine interview with Pat Lawlor in which he said he delivered the whitewood and the basic rules layout, and then Stern kicked his group to the curb to finish the game in-house and that was their cost saving MO for a few years when games were never 'complete' ( RCT, Monopoly, Wheel of Fortune). A time-out fest that rates up there with NF. We were timing everything out except for PR.Дefinitely a less than optimal tournament game. When I think about RCT, I think about playing the Sharpes and others in the playoffs the Kalamazoo tournament. And its not too hard to get to the WM, so just time the modes out and get to the WM multiple times. Maybe playing super dunk is worth it, and if you are feeling frisky you might go after the million in dancing digits.Д«ut really, PR, mb and the WM is where the points are at. But the risk/reward for most of the modes just does not add up.

I understand that the WM jackpots are valued according to the number of guests. Then when you actually reach WM, you're Jackpots can be quite high (as they are COMPLETELY dependent on the # of guests you have achieved during your game). You play each mode to it's FULLEST, to get as many guests as possible. Wow, then you are missing the WHOLE point of Wizard mode if you time out your modes. On top of this, would be various modes, rewarded by guest accumulation (switch hits), based around RCT concepts (park maintenance, ride malfunctions, guests, etc) that could to provide rewards such as shot multipliers, add to bonus, EB, etc. Adding more to a theme park before collecting makes it pay out better and the accumulation of theme parks makes for a better wizard mode, sort of like how better MBs in Demo Man accumulate to a better final payout. (ie, you need 3 roller coasters, 3 food stands, etc)Д®ach completed theme park would give a reward, so maybe the first one lit a hurry up, 2nd one start a multiball, etc. Each theme park required different assortment of hits on various shots to complete.

The names could be drawn directly from the scenarios in RCT2. Maybe have 6 inserts - ala MM castles - representing each one. My idea would have been to build theme parks. This is the truth I would not mind seeing a visionary PROC a maligned game like RCT and actually making it awesome. But the game is definitely not 'the worst'. You obviously hate the theme to begin with. It's fine that the game didn't draw you in. There is simply no way you can have really given it a fair shake after just one game. I'm not saying RCT is another TZ, but it does have three ramps, 4 flippers, and a lot of Lawlor feel.

Why? Because people played it more and realized there was a lot to offer, an interesting ruleset etc. Now it's #1 on ipdb and #2 here on pinside. This game did so poorly on route that ops couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Almost everyone hates Twilight Zone the first time they play it. No one can properly judge a pin after one game.

This is where I determined you were not capable of judging the game. Then you go on to say how you were done after one game. A person playing this the first time would not know it was not working and would think the hand was a dumb 'inanimate object' that did nothing but took up space. A Johnny mnemonic with the hand disabled is a great example. This may result in a game that appears to work but is less fun. If certain things aren't working, the game adjusts the rules so it can be played. You cannot possibly know after playing only your first game if things worked as they should. Theres a great chance that the game was not working very well (even though you say it was). What did you expect? The theme to change to chuck Norris when you pressed start? Then you incorrectly state that the troll 'is just an inanimate object' when it moves. You saw all this prior to pitting in a bunch of money. The problem is that you cite reasons for hating the game as the troll and the theme. All other opinions are of course welcome. In my opinion the game is garbage and the theme made me depressed. Fair enough, I am burnt out on the subject.
