Inspired by my teenage kids...

The Wizards Hat invites you to PARTY
-------------------------------------------
Gain party kudos to improve the rating of the party.
Party status is compared to all others parties previously had.

To get Multiball:
- Break the items up the left ramp to get "Broken items lock"
- Knock down all the DRINK targets to get "Drinks lock"
- Hit the stereo to play enough music to light "Music lock"

During multiball hit the broken items, drink targets and stereo to light the 3 jackpots.

Gate-crashers: Hit the right ramp to get gate-crashers into the party...random awards available for different numbers of gate-crashers.

Inlanes: light 2x gate-crashers. Lighting both inlanes lights kickbacks.

Wizard Mode: Get the girl - 6-ball multiball.
===================================
Audits menu: Press "A" to enable audits menu, then use keys 7, 8, 9, 0 [Escape, Down, Up, Enter] as with Wms menus

Diagnostics menu: Press "D" to enable diagnostics menu (keys as audits menus). These menus allow for testing different features of the game. Accessing these menus turns the save game stats feature off (game stats are used to determine how difficult it is to get between different levels).

I've been wondering where you've been! Now I know, the table looks cool! can't wait to play it Parties, huh? I have had MANY a night in the 80's where I forgot where I had parked my car amongst other things. can't wait to break stuff too!

"You gotta fight!! for your right!! to Paaaaaarrrrrrrrtaaaaaay!!!"

Here's what my first party looked like, aparently, not too good....



Great Fun Dan!!


Best Regards,
Todd.

Thanks for the responses guys
I think this is the most fun I've had putting a pin together...and possibly the quickest too - though scripting the audits & diagnostic menus slowed me down (but I really like them...it's like making your own Wms/Bally machine ) [feel free to copy the script - just give me credit ]

btw...the first person to guess correctly where I got the boom-box music from (i.e. not during multiball), I'll buy you a lottery ticket as I reckon guessing that's about the same odds as winning the lottery (1 in 14,000,000)

Thanks for the table. Sounds/looks very interesting. I hope I can play it soon, when I'm able to play once again after a completely new pc setup last weekend.

What do you mean with "boom-box music" ? I plan to solve the puzzle.

The "boom-box music" - when you hit the stereo in the game, it will play 1 of 9 different "music" clips...3 of them are 3 seconds long, 3 are 7s long & 3 are 15s long. I really like the way they blend together when played randomly (like in the game).

Anyway...1st person to guess where the "music" clips are from wins a lottery ticket

Oh, then I guess I have to hurry to get VP playable halfway!?

oh man and here it is too late for me to keep muh eyes open! I'll look for that music tie-in tomorrow, course by then it'll probably be too late. Very neat pin. "everybody dance now!" I love the pics of the guy puking on the table too, (amongst the other pics), love the multicolored ball and esp during multiball it's so much easier to keep track of different colored balls!
and Yeah I probably suck but here is my first score! I love the different quests to do

Here's my very first and bad game result.

About the music clips (the pseudo techno ones?), I don't have a clue. Stereo means radio? The ones in multiball I know more or less completely, even if maybe not all interprets/titles come mind at once.

I think one of the hardest things to judge with an original table is how hard to make it...as the author, you're playtesting it from day one, so everything seems easy, and my kids (who also playtest for me) often agree with me...or even argue that I should make them harder.

My Hat-Trick football game is a prime example of that, my eldest son has been telling me for years to make it harder...so I introduced all sorts of things to make it more difficult (moving players etc) - then when I finally released it on here, people were saying how hard the computer was to beat, whereas I (or anyone in my house) would very rarely get beaten on it...in fact the only time I find that game difficult is when I play a human opponent!

So, I suppose I should make them easier...realistically, I assume most people are only going to play an original a few times at most...unless it's a game that instantly grabs you - I've downloaded loads of original tables, yet can only think of a few I play over & over.

(alternatively though I could just agree that you're all crap at pinball )

Dan.

[yogiholzer]

You know it's all about response/thank and not about to beat the eventually most possible highest highscore. I don't think the table is too hard to play, but it's easy. I just didn't manage to score better in my first game. I know I'm a lame duck and I never denied. I thought I eventually could solve the music puzzle, but I fizzled. No idea there.
