They had a bunch of LEs in several flavors. I thought the game was
quite impressive. There was a problem with some of the playfield
lights on one machine that went out during the tournament, and nobody,
including Gomez and Ritchie could solve the problem. The LEDs are
very cool, especially the color-changing ones. Steve says there will
be some updates to expand the functionality of the game beyond what it
currently is. The sound and light package is really spectacular.
The lower playfield seems to mainly be a one-trick-pony-flail-fest.
I thought the LTBR game was the best looking. But BIB was nice too.
All-in-all, there were 6 AC/DCs at TPF.

I played the Premium that Marco was showcasing and I loved it. Never
have I seen so many people waiting to play a game.

The tournament area had 2 BIB, 2 LTBR, and one premium. Marco specialties had a premium with projected LCD and giant speaker by it. That game had a line constantly. I liked it a lot. It has some cool features and the music is great. It is certainly a good looking game. I'm getting the premium. If I were to get and LE I would get the LTBR because I like the colors better.

No Pro. 5 ACDC in tourney area: two of each LE, one Premium. I forget
if the one in free play area was LE or Prem. Sweet setup on the public
machine. Exhibitor had it set up with full external speaker and woofers
hooked up pumping out the tunes/sound, along with the overhead cam
displayed on large screen HDTV above machine.
Both look SO much better than the Pro -- not just the face not being
there. I liked how the lower playfield looked. Wasn't enamored with
how lower playfield played, but I didn't choose to play the two modes
that took you there (both songs that have "Hell" in title, reached by
upper saucer or loading cannon via right ramp). The right ramp mode
(Hwy to Hell) is set up better to collect song jackpots because if you
hit enough mini shots, you're immediately qualified to shoot for a song
jackpot because the ball is locked in the cannon to begin lower
playfield.
stern did a good job with the materials of see-through material and
lighting so that I wasn't distracted by lower playfield when it wasn't
active.
The swinging bell is an amazing cool effect, but quite the pisser to
have the ball pendulum slammed back in your face. High risk shot.
Biggest complaint: Presumably to facilitate the bell nailing the ball
back at you, the little wire guide that is on the center lane to
minimize bumper exits that roll SDTM on the Pro, did not exist on the on
Prem/LE.
Fun game to play. Seemed popular with the masses. Lots of different
ways to play it to score.
