Wow, how did I miss this thread ?
In times past; when asked this question "What Are Your Favorite Pinball Tables?" My mind would go blank as there are many. So I decided to choose "The Wizard of Oz" by Jersey Jack. It's the machine that sort of got me back into pinball. I will admit they did sucker me in and I realized it right away.
Other machines at the time this one releaced were I recall "AC/DC" & "Iron Man" (Another two favorites now .) the location I saw these three were all $1.00 to play and had a bill slot as well at quarter slots & I thought "It's a buck to play these now ?"
The replay score on "WOZ" was like 35,000 points , "AC/DC" was like 50,000,000 points and "IM" seemed high as well (maybe 35,000,000 I dunno.) I figured the lower score would be easier to reach so I risked it on "WOZ" and when the game was over having not reached the replay score I waited for the "match feature" . If the random number shown matches the last two digits of your score you are awarded a free game. Well on "WOZ" "the match" was a SINGLE DIGIT , explaining the low replay threshold BUT I did match and was able to play again.
The next game I did reach the replay threshold and got a 3'rd game (on that first buck) and I was hooked !
