Need help with Star Wars' "Modes".....

[ToolMan]

Hey all, I need some expert help on play modes with my Star Wars machine. First off, when we get a ballin the jackpot hole, it goes into the ti-fighter shooting at cards and trying to get 3 in a row. When it happens, it goes into fever mode. Now, we kept playing at this point, but nothing seemed to register when we hit the jackpot hole over and over. The screen just did it's thing, showed some scenes and then went into this mode where it goes through all 15 play cards and nothing else is happening. Is the game over now? We kept playing during this, but again nothing happened. Is this normal?

Next, does anyone have a link to the game play of the Star Wars machine? What do you do in the different modes it goes into? Any help there would be huge to this noobie!

Also, we noticed that when we put the balls in the top hopper, they simply just fed themselves through to the shooting haopper. Aren't they suppossed to stay in the machine until you hit a jackpot and then come out?

Again, any help would greatly be appreciated. We really want to get to know how this beautiful machine works!

ok i can help here but cant with the play
yes balls should stay in the payout hopper 2 things to chek
first is the ball dump bar closed other wise they will fall straight past the pay out motor (ball dump designed to empty top hopper)

second is dont play the game at all just turn on and procead to put balls in the payout hopper untill it starts to hold them instead of paying out as some machines remember how mutch they owe if they run out of balls to pay out and it will carry on dumping balls through till it has payed off its debt
the balls are ment to payout to the shooter tray first and then to the overflow tray below
hope that helps a little
oh and when you have finished the 15 rounds of the feever then it will reset back to normal game play and you start again

Thanks drcrippen, I will do the ball hopper thing you mentioned and take a look at it. Hopefully someone else can clue me in to the game play. Hope Arby shows up soon.

ahh Mr coffee he happens to be the font of all knowledge along with rupen777 but havent seen rupen777 for a while hope he is ok?

Take a run over here to rupan777's Journal for the translations and you will be able to figure out the play of all the reaches and how they inner connect to each other and the Bonus rounds.
Remember you need the top hopper full of ball to pay out as you put ball in the different pockets. The center start pocket pay 4 balls and a spin. Just because you spin the video reels or go into a reach, this doesn't asure you a bonus round.

Thanks guys. I took a look at Rupans journal and I will try and use it to figure stuff out. Would be so much easier if there was a walk thru. Oh well, I will keep looking for help.

That's really very twisted!

been there . . . done that . . . . even got the T-shirt

Ok, sorry,another "game play" question for those familiar with the machine. When you hit 3 cards the same,in order to keep advancing in the fever mode, how many balls do you need to get into the center pocket/gate to keep it going? I get the first one and then I get a couple balls in and it simply reverts back to game play after a minute. Anyone?

[Tulsa]

You're saying you matched 3 symbols and didn't go into a fever round?

[ToolMan]

I did match 3 and the screen changed to a scene from the film which I am assuming this is the fever mode. Anyway, after about 30 seconds it reverted back to normal play. I had gotten 3 balls in the center slot while it was in fever mode, but never advanced beyond to another scene. Was simply wondering if you needed to get maybe 10 balls in the center slot to keep it going.

[arbycoffee]

did the door below the start pocket open during this time you had ?

[Mike]

It sounds like you only got two matching. Are you sure it was three? When you cut to scenes from the film, it normally indicates that you've got two matching and then it cuts to a 'chance' - so far I've seen the moon from Return of the Jedi, the walkers from Empire and the Death Star from Star Wars. In Fever mode, you need to get two balls to get to the next round - 15 in all. In Fever round, it goes through stills of all the charecters from the Star Wars films. As Arby says, the door below the start pocket opens up during Fever.

[ToolMan]

Gotcha, I will have a look for that. Appreciate all the input!

[Youngjedi]

I would like to ask something too...

When playing the game and it goes into the mode "destroy all enemy ships" is that interactive? in other words, is there a way to control the ship where it is pointing? I am not referring to shooting down darth vader, just the five enemy ships in 20 seconds. I was so focused on the graphics that I didn't even try controlling the ship with my start knob. can the player fly the ship left and right by turning the knob? The chance button does not light at this time.

Thanks

no I believe you have to hit the balls into the holes to shoot, it is not interactive to my knowledge
