I’ve had this one on my most wanted list for some time now, and I’m over the moon to finally have one (JP2). I’m so excited. Thanks to ‘Pinball Heaven‘ for the pin and ‘RetroLogistics‘ for delivery and help with setting it up. Every time I played one (at Northern Pin League and at Tilt), it just made me want (need) it more
It’s also my son’s (Lukes) current favourite pin, so brownie points with the pick (ended up between this or Jaws). So now it is time to play and to mod
Yes, I just achieved a new personal best high score on Godzilla, and it’s higher than Luke’s. He has held the high score for a few months. I went into his room screaming, just like you expected. :-)
And now, with Side Armor, Protection levelled up :-) Its wasn’t really that bad to install; Luke helped to move the PIN so I could get access to the sides and back easier.
I’ve been meaning to update my speakers for a while now. I’m happy to say that not only do they look great, but the sound quality has also improved. The red colour around the speakers looks fantastic and complements my Cab perfectly. I was considering adding some speaker lights with a burning building effect, but unfortunately, the lack of an option to turn them off while playing games made it a no-go for me. Personally, I prefer to play pinball with the backboard lights switched off.
Today, we got our very first pinball machine, and Kats played her first-ever game on any pinball machine. She played amazingly, achieving a multi-ball hero status!
I have wanted a pinball machine for a long time and a few months ago, I decided the time was right, and we went full-on ‘Get A Pin Mode’ . Luke and I travelled to different places to try out various games. I spent hrs and hrs on forums and YouTube to learn more (some amazing and helpful forums out there) and listened to hrs of podcasts on the subject. Now although ‘The Adams Family’ pin is awesome, when I think of Pinball it’s that machine I picture. This time around, I didn’t think that would be a good first pin. However, from the moment we played Godzilla, it felt like the perfect game for us. The rules are varied, the theme is fun, and the shots are great. So, we decided to get the new Stern Godzilla Premium. We chose the premium version as I am sure I will have this machine for a while, and the extra features will help keep the game fresh. We are really looking forward to modding it out and have already got our eye on a few improvements Dave popped around to give it a try, together with Isaac we played for 4 hours non stop, only stopping as it was getting late (Luke was staying at his mum’s, but he is gonna love it) #pinball #sternpinball.
