Nice - Dropping the left drop targets lights up a alternating 5K target on the right side (cool purple ) that doubles the advance scoring for that ball in play ..i think its worth going for imho..we've missed Bowens vids !
Most EMs have a "basic", yet very challenging layout as compared to the non-EM machines that followed starting at the end of the 70s. This is one of the few EMs that actually has quite a bit going on to shoot for in its table design.
On the machine I played in 1978, you could pound the left corner with your fist, and It would raise the temperature, if the temperature is already to the top (special lit )you would get a free game. We did it all the time.
Love this classic, I play it pretty much on Pinball Arcade, always fun to play, love the artwork and the backglass, but yeah the strategy I use is almost the same as Bowen shows here, but I also like to complete the drop targets, didn't know it isn't that great to score like you said, but it's fun:)
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! Centigrade 37 is one of my favourite EM pinball machines and I think I will play it much better now after seeing this. I am very happy to own the Toyshock digital pinball at home, which includes this table (I don't have the room or budget for real pinball machines at home at the moment).
It's a 3/4-scale replica of Gottlieb's Haunted House, a "vpin" with 12 licensed games built into it, made by the company Toyshock. It's funny, in my original comment I mentioned I didn't have the room or budget for a real pinball machine... a year later I now have a brand new Stern Jurassic Park home Pin in my living room, after saving up all year and getting rid of a couch!
@@AmigaCammy cool. I'm blind but pinball was one of those games I wish I could play at an arcade. Do you know where you got that replica from Toyshock?
Woooo! Nice to see a new video. I'm still looking for this one myself. I said to myself...if I could have one EM in my collection what would it be....easy answer. Anyone else have an issue with not enough space?
Great video as always Mr. Bowen. Thank you, I can do the tap passes but need to master those alley passes! 🤔. One thing you didn't go over (I know you are going for points so not an issue perse) is the double advance alternating green and pink targets? We have a house rule that the thermometer is worth 100k, so it incentivizes going for special more. But also a key strategy to not reset the drops, as you can carry over the double advance. Kind of love that feature about this game. Thanks again for the great videos.
I love this game it has a great playfield and I'm a proud owner. I am after advice on how to restore the paint on the backboard? Mine is flaking apart and I need someone highly skilled to restore it. Can anyone help?
