Shelly Sax from Stern actually called me at work this morning to let
me know it was in as well. She sure is a nice lady and was very
caring and we had a great conversation about other things as well.
Stern's customer service is #1.

What I love the most is since R & L built their new distribution
warehouse in Farmington, all new Stern pins come here first. And it's
all of 2 miles down the road from me. Hopefully, yours and Millards
is still there by the time you get there, Jason. If they're not,
they'll be set up side by side in my garage. Stop by for a beer. :-)

Game Time !!!!

Have some play time on it and my first impressions are VERY GOOD !

Flow is nice, has some really nice long outer orbit shots. The left
ramp to the back of the safe house feed the left flipper. The right
ramp to the suitcase feeds immediately to the right flipper as long as
the suitcase lock is not lit. It is very nice.

Music, sounds, and effects are superb. Nice industrial soft tone rock
edgy soundtrack.

Playfield art and translite are very nice and pics don't do it
justice. Cab art suffers from pixelation to be expected.

When I lifted the head up and latched it the first thing you notice
are the large fighter plane and helicopter plastics. These are
SWEET !!! The helicopter blades look to be in motion and really are
nice. Just a lean and mean elegant look to them. Classic High Speed
feel to it. No cheesy plastic toys.

The real shocker was before I turned the game on I noticed a RED tint
to the DMD. I turned on the game and sure enough, a RED pinled style
DMD. I opened up the back and NO high voltage board and the DMD is
Stern's own made board with LED segments. Very crisp and clean look.
Love the BLOOD RED !

Game feels and looks fantastic !

My strong opinion here, this is the best game package since Spidey.
No question.
Thanks Steve and crew for another fantastic pinball !

calls were boring ,, i know a video on you tube can be missleading ,
maybe its not the turkey i thought it was .

Software shipped with v1.4 and there will be another update this
coming week. Final tweaks and the one last wizard mode "Master Agent"
are being implemented for the next update. This is probably the best
software "completeness" since Family Guy ! Seriously !

You can stack multiballs. The one I really like is getting Safe House
multiball going and then Terrorist MB. Terrorist really is a ALOT
similar to Trolls on Medieval. Random and very nice pop ups.

If you like S-M and MM you should love 24. I am having alot of fun
with it. I really have no complaints on this one.

So far I am just running with factory settings. I did change one
default. When you lock a ball in the suitcase default is manual plunge
the next ball in the shooter lane. I like the speed of auto launch
the next ball once locked. It's keeps the flow sped up. :-))

As Korn mentioned, that Safe House kickback to the right flipper is
fast and reminds me of the F-14 kickback.

I just got a couple of hours in on my 24 and it is as good as Jason
says. When multiballs start stacking, the game is pretty intense. It
actually brings back the "rush" of Spiderman. The right suitcase ramp
is fantastic. I like that when the suitcase is not lit, the ball just
flies through the right ramp. Anyway, just wanted to say Steve and
the rest of the guys at Stern hit this one out of the park. Hell of a
job, guys!
