Nice! I like it!

[luckydog]

It sounds like a volume mod is needed on it

[vgc]

Nah, its not too loud at the lowest setting. I just had the Camera close to the machine. Mike : )

Here's some more vids. I missed out on the Bonus due to Ball Swapping and Camera setup. My Camera only takes 15 sec vid and needs another floppy inserted. I will have some future Bonus vids as I hit them. Mike : )

Thanks for the vids - it looks excellent! If this pachinko thing sticks with me, I'll have to have that on my wishlist!

What does it take to win on this machine. Anyone out there know if a certain pocket is needing to be hit once you get all 7 crystals. I have yet to have all 3 numbers come up the same and have played quite a bit. I have gotten all 7 Crystals 8 Times so far. Done quite a few missions too. To me it seems the 2 pockets on the bottom right are unreachable and probably dummy pockets. Any input ? Thanks in advance, Mike : )

Yup, Sonic is a pretty tough machine to win on, for sure. Strangely enough, the first time I won on the machine was a normal reach (the one where he jumps straight up the cliff and usually ends up wiping out), that's a less than 1% chance of beating too!

For the 7 jewels, the reach that follows is not really strong - it's kind of a make or break reach, win it and you have odds in your favor, lose and it's actually not a big deal - I think the odds for winning it are about 25%.

With the missions, the important point is to get 2-3 possible to show up, if only 1 is showing up then you have a very low chance of winning.

The most important signals in the game are the "step-up" and "continuous" (see page 3 of my translation if you haven't already) events since they are fairly rare. If they occur, you should win but, if you don't, they can really knock the odds out of your favor.

Thanks for the Translations Rupan. I guess I am just due. I will play more soon. Earlier today ( er yesterday ), I saw a new video sequence where a truck was trying to run me over. I thought I was going to win for sure. So I guess its just keep hitting the center target and nothing else really matters. Mike : )
