RAVEN (Gottlieb, 1986)

She's here...
RAVEN (1986) TO THE RESCUE!

WOW it's another brand new game in the Dumb Arcade! The only reason they have this one is actually because ROBB from Prairie Archives bought the cheapest pinball he possibly could and it wasn't even working properly and he didn't know what to do with it and he eventually sold it to Jeff for four dollars just to get it off his hands. It was the cheapest pinball because this is the LOWEST RANKED PINBALL OF ALL TIME on PINSIDE.COM! 

Why is it the lowest ranked pinball? Let's take a look:
- NO multiball
- only TWO flippers
- the helicopter doesn't actually fly
- too many targets to shoot for that don't do much
- sometimes guys pop up
- the most exciting thing that happens is a thing goes down so you can hit a ramp that's pretty much a straight line and then when the hatch for the ramp goes down it's the tiniest little spot that you have to shoot for
- Raven is not an actual movie even though this pinball makes it look like it is
- The music is actually not bad
- No jackpots




OKAY COOL NOW POST YOUR SCORES

I hope she called him a big poo poo head. Zero reason grown adults should be yelling at employees over Pinbot.

both Pinbot and Raven are from 1986, so she could have just said all 1986 games are pretty much the same so why does it matter.

I don't know what the weird glitchy #1 high score is, but I claimed the #2 spot with 1,046,930! I'm super stoked about this score. 13th highest score on Pinside.

I didn't play Raven the entire time, but I celebrated my birthday by playing pinball for about 5 hours today.

Jack, I am sorry to do this to you on your birthday: (actually intentionally waiting until the day after your birthday to post)



#12 on pinside!

Says I am #2 on the machine, but Jack is right, #1 spot is just A GLITCH Like this "#1 High Score = @@%*@#88// = 0 pooints"

Jeff, what's up with that??

I am the real #1 high score right now and I AM putting it on my forum tagline.

I just cracked up at the apology on Pinside. I feel rather special you held out. I got to spend my birthday feeling like a God. I'm still proud of my score.

I have a feeling that glitched score is over 10 million.

[jeffradon2000]

I haven't yet figured out why it's doing that on hi score 1

Okay I was true to my word pinball forum, I stayed (not that) late last night and got a new high score of:

1,578,960

On RAVEN.

A couple of things:

- at one point during this game the music changed and everything started flashing! What did I do?? I feel like it was as I was hitting the ramp the second time in a row or something? I would think that it would maybe do this once I got all 4 of the snipers but I don't think that was the case.

- okay the MULTIPLIER is just for the bonus at the end, and that's the amount that gets added up when you hear the wrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRR sound. I don't think I have ever done it yet ,but making it up to the 8x would be crucial. I made it up to 4x on my high score. Is 39,000 the max bonus? Hitting that would mean... I guess only 312,000, that's actually not that much nevermind. I actually don't know the best way to rack up the most points on this game now.

I am #10 on pinside now!
