Cactus Canyon remake chat

After a bit of a wait it is here and the family are loving it.
There is no love in this house for JP besides me so I thought something easier to shoot with simple rules would appeal and so far so good.
Only down side it the topper won't fit in the pin shed 😭
Maybe it is time to build a bigger one 😂
I think the Lyman/Josh code is going to be amazing when it finally arrives!

Guessing Cowboys vs Aliens wont be on there due to Licencing issues with the Music, and any of the other modes using Williams assets CGC dont hold, Drac Attack etc.
 
I’m not playing that as much as i had thought In would. Initially the games were longer and Bionic bart was in clear reach. Now it seems to be this ramp, that ramp, this lane -
Getting showdown a lot more and saving Polly a lot.
The ball falls off on the right lane return wireform and i loose that reward.
And seem to hit the middle of lanes and the wall of the mine more and more. Maybe i did before but it feels more depleting now

Turned the topper hits up from 10 as that’s starting to get old
Preferring GTF over it but feel torn as this was my entrance into this world and i waited so long, so very long for the game

Just a passing moment maybe ?
 
Jack up the rear another ich or two and fully open up the outlanes. Then tell me CC is being too easy for you...
 
I never said i found it easy. Just mundanenessness was kicking in which i’m finding a little sad given its history and gameplay. It’s not that i play it loads either, prob the least of all my games. Normally i’m on TNA or GTF or GZ ( which after 1500 games is still as exciting )

I’ve taken note. I might make some incline changes - It’s set at 6.5 via pinguy but the bubble i have not used and it’s to the front of that

I'm probably going to get roasted on a Cactus Canyon (Remake) thread but, although I find it a sweet pin and always enjoy a game, I've also always found it a bit 'meh' compared to some of the other B/W pins of that era. It feels like it possessed a lot of mystique because there weren't many and the code was never finished and CGC have nerfed the mystique slightly by producing more of them.

It's definitely a solid choice for a larger collection. Maybe do what others have suggested and stop playing it for a while :)
 
I have had an AFM here long term, I prefer CCr. All the things I like are in it, comedy, some tricky shots, building up to something big.
Yes, there is some code weaknesses, that the update could help with, like how something something happens and you get a lot going on and then it feels empty afterwards as you hunt for a few last things.
 
So… i wasent sitting well with it all and thought i’d check the settings as i haven’t had an extra ball in many many games.
Turns out Jr, 3rd place in the kids comp has been watching and decided he was pro enough to start pressing buttons. Lots of settings were out.
I’m also getting a repetitive score which looks like a shooting reward and has the high end de de der ( very quick succession ) noise and says 300. Need to make a better note. Also getting the shooting can / bottle / objects a lot now ??
Ball still falling off the right wire form on return too
 
hopefully the new code { might be seen in october } will make it a far more difficult and more exciting for you, still love mine,
 
Could someone please help me with a problem I have . Im not sure why but recently the game is giving me lots of repetitive combo shots ( the screen with the cans to knock down ) . Not had this until last week ish. Ive done a full factory reset which hasn't changed anything. Done a burn in test for a couple mins and checked all switches in the test function and could not find anything there. I did manually move the balll over the magnetic switches? the ones on the left and right ramps and I got the issue there , also the bottom pop bumper can set it off too even when in Jet sequence

Ive taken 2 videos of 3 ball games , just to try and show where it's happening. Maybe it's a coding / program glitch that's occurred ?

 
ok, just turned on the machine and started a game, as I pressed the start button I got "polly saved over the falls) and some hefty points awarded. Then loads of combo awards I shouldnt be getting

Found it!

Inductive sensor control board. Noted fault on pinside and method of how to solve it, though mine will not go away after the required fixes so it needs a new sensor cable and circuitboard. For now have strapped cable up to stop it moving

Had first legit game just now, in weeks

Question cowboys !

When is the bad guy on the topper supposed to recoil? I thought it would be once you hit the correct target in showdown?? Mine just moves his arms up but when you shoot him he doesn’t recoil I am pretty sure something isn’t right or maybe it’s in a different part of the game
Any advice appreciated bandeleros

Will
