Yes, crystal clear on the rules. But those 3 shots seem to elude me on every game where I've got everything else lined-up perfectly.You do know that you can complete light cycle multiball in three shots, right...
...it's only 3 shots...

I usually try to stack LC with Quorra, 4 balls is better than 2
Ummmmmm....You do know that you can complete light cycle multiball in three shots, right...
.....no.
Cradle one ball on each of the lower flippers, lower the bat of the left upper flipper! Shoot the left ramp with the ball from the right flipper, then when that feeds back shoot the quorra shot then when that feeds round on to the top left flipper, flip it to shoot the right ramp. Job done! 
Sweet, thanks Mr. Raker, or may i call you Moon? Looks easy in writing....Cradle one ball on each of the lower flippers, lower the bat of the left upper flipper! Shoot the left ramp with the ball from the right flipper, then when that feeds back shoot the quorra shot then when that feeds round on to the top left flipper, flip it to shoot the right ramp. Job done!
Or you can hit Gem with the 3rd shot, also awards the super.

EIGHT ****ING YEARS later, and I finally reach Portal! On ball 2. What a buzz. The ball found itself a new stuck position just above the scoop, the first time it’s ever rested there, allowing me time to casually wander off and get my phone. Gentle nudge in and we’re off.
Haven't really touched TRON much in the last couple of years either, and to think I was going to sell this
Good things come to those who wait. And those who’re $hit at pinball.

That's it with Tron, it's given you a taster for Portal that will keep you coming back time and time again now. Think I've only got to it three times and since I bought it back from someone off here (who made it more difficult) I've never got to it again 
Love it well done. Game's too good and a masterpiece. Many times I used to walk past it because the movie put me off but once you get into it it's hard to stop playing it.
It did get to the point where I would get bored though after I'd go to and play it get replays / high score (on location) and play for 2 hours + standing up in a pub.
It does become less of a challenge like anything you practice but I haven't played one in a couple of years now and if it was in a room full of pins then I'm probably going to go to play Tron first.

Got to Portal for only the second time on my Pro last night, near perfect game, fingers being guided by the pinball Gods, completed all three multiballs first attempt (my completion rate on Lightcycle is woeful), started SoS with only Zuse missing. Completed Zuse in 5 shots, calmly waited for ball to find the left flipper, straight into Flynn's Arcade first go. Once Portal started, every shot found a target, still not entirely sure what I am supposed to do, but aimed at the pretty lights, found my mark repeatedly, surely only a matter of time until I found my way into the annals of Tron mastery. 5 seconds later, quadruple drain, left a million points short of my GC from my last, much briefer, visit to Portal. Left the table a broken man, spent the rest of the evening doing some playfield polishing. She is a cruel mistress.

Another 100m game with Sea of Simulation. Guess which mode I hadn’t completed….
