Similarity to bowling is quite interesting... I guess that's just a part of mechanical sport, lol. In better shops I would just call an attendant and maybe have a pleasant chat or two. In other places... I'd nudge like there's no tomorrow or just shut the table down and walk away, depending on how badly the table is maintained, if at all XD

Oof. Yea, I was mostly thinking about in this game specifically, but you are right. (I havent played a real life pinball machine in very long, so I cant attest with much personal experience, but I used to play a lot of bowling, which is kind of similar in the way things turn out when they go bad, like balls getting stuck, mechanical parts going kaputt etc and the fact that the attendants when called would usually just reset the frame like if that was what I really wanted actually prompted me to learn the commands and whatnot of the scoring system the local bowling alley used so I could actually adjust things myself after any mechanical issues where sorted out, but I guess that wouldnt exactly be possible on a pinball table XD)

Yeah I know what you mean. Poorly handled shops IRL would just power-cycle the table and give a few credits back, but I'll be like "thanks man, but that's not what I meant..." lol.

*Nods* I always hate when things like that happen though, even if it fixes it, one doesnt want to nudge too much in case it tilts, and especially frustrating if on a good run. I find that balls getting permanently stuck is reasonably rare though, which is fortunate.

I think it did, but I might be mistaken.

Dang. Did Call Attendant work?
