Jack Danger streams Ghostbusters LE at Stern with Dwight Sullivan showcasing code updates and new mechanics.
Dwight Sullivan made significant rule changes to Ghostbusters LE including skill shot modifications, Mass Hysteria collection restrictions, and Scolari Brothers 3X Super Jackpot lighting
high confidence · Dwight Sullivan directly explains the changes during gameplay commentary
The skill shot allows players to choose between left flipper (lane movement) and right flipper (blue lit targets) options
high confidence · Dwight Sullivan explains this was John Doe's idea and demonstrates it in gameplay
Mass Hysteria can no longer be re-entered immediately after completion; ghosts must be collected again to reach it
high confidence · Dwight Sullivan explicitly states this rule change and its purpose
A world class theremin player came in to work on the game's audio for approximately two weeks
medium confidence · Jack Danger mentions this during gameplay commentary but provides no additional details
Ghostbusters LE will be available on the floor at Papa Duke (venue) soon
medium confidence · Jack Danger states this near the end of the stream regarding Limited Edition availability
“Total photonic reversal. I love this game.”
Jack Danger@ 0:10 — Opening commentary expressing enthusiasm for Ghostbusters pinball
“Magna Slings. Play nice. Don't look directly at them. It's like, remember Medusa?”
Jack Danger@ 1:00 — Humorous description of the Magna Slings feature on the machine
“One of the coolest ones is the skill shot works on different flippers. So the lanes move on one flipper. That's the left flipper. And the right flipper moves the down, the blue lit and stuff.”
Dwight Sullivan@ 5:45 — Technical explanation of a major skill shot design change
“During Mass Hysteria, you can no longer collect Ghost. The whole point of collecting Ghost was to get to Mass Hysteria, and then once you're in Mass Hysteria, you've reached it, you've reached the end, and you just enjoy Mass Hysteria.”
Dwight Sullivan@ 6:04 — Explanation of gameplay rule change affecting progression strategy
“Scolari Brothers now light a 3X Super Jackpot. So it often makes a big difference.”
Dwight Sullivan@ 6:31 — Details about multiplier mechanic affecting scoring strategy
“We actually had a world class theremin player come in. Right. Oh really? Savage Dick White was on for like two weeks.”
Jack Danger / Dwight Sullivan@ 23:49 — Reference to notable audio contributor working on the game
