My local bowling alley used to have Cirqus Voltaire before they replaced it with a Medieval Madness machine, stating that it had become too arched and made the game too difficult. They weren't kidding! This game used to destroy me, you played an excellent game! Also good to see that in the home ROM you can skip those annoying animations. The long ringmaster one would especially try my patience at times when I just wanted to keep playing! Awesome pin from Williams.
However, Pac after looking at 7:23 it definitely locked the ball and shouldn't have. At that time though, the lock bumpers were both still blinking so you may want to check some switches on why she locked that ball. Happens on mine as well.
@52Doggie Yeah, that lock was weird....but I guarantee you there's nothing wrong w/ my game. Might have been a software bug or something to do w/ having 2 Juggler Lock balls....hmm. The blinking Lock inserts have nothing to do w/ it. You can qualify all 3 locks w/ those targets before even locking one balls...so - I could have 1 or 2 locks qualified, but they'll still be blinking cuz I can hit them for a 3rd.
Pac, great video...I watched it nine times in anticipation for my HUO CV that I found from the one and original owner. Just wanted to let you know that on your video you show the magnet doesn't always get the ball and at first I thought this as well on my machine. However if you look back on the video you'll notice you didn't hit both yellows to light the lock. Also, just curious, I was able to get my center lane to state "Watch for Ramp Kickout" instead. Do you know how I may have done this?
@52Doggie You get the ramp kickout if the game needs to give you a ball, but there are no balls in the trough...it'll kick it off the Highwire....for instance, if your'e in a 2 player game and you locked two balls on the Highwire, the other player doesn't automatically get those locks even though the balls are physically there. They might have a Juggler lock and 2 balls on the High Wire....even though those 2 balls aren't their "Locked balls" ...hope that makes sense ! :)
@MischievousGoat Yeah, mine came with a RED neon (which is clear when off).....I wanted blue, since the neon ramp reminds me of the blue lightning art on the cabinet.....so - I bought one from Pinball Life. I have 2 balls in the cannon, and set the game to fire the cannon every second...default is 2 seconds, since usually it takes 1 ball that long to get back into position.
Nice quality video (in youtube terms) and a good score! I like the infoblurbs you added. I'm playing this in Visual Pinball while i dream of playing the real thing.
Hey Pac. Great video as always. I was wondering if you can help me since I'm a big fan of yours. : O ) I have a Circus Voltaire machine and it plays perfectly. The only problem is, my ringmaster skips the first animation scene after you defeat him and automatically shows the second one. I have the 2.0 home version in mine. It use to show it, now it doesn't. Any suggestions??
There's a Feature Adjustment that has various settings for skipping the animations....maybe someone messed with it? Or, were you pressing both flippers?...that will skip the animation.
Looks awesome!!
I hear this is coming out for the new Farsight Pinball Arcade Collection. I can't wait.

Great vid, this machine is my favorite! Did you install an aftermarket neon though? mine is blue aswell, but white when unlit :)
Your cannon mode seems to be alot faster than on my game aswell, any mods on that?

Man, all that work defeating the Ring Master, for a measly million points. One of my favorite tables, though.

Well, I would have liked to see you "Join the Cirqus", and it looked like it was gonna happen.

Maybe I'll do another video w/ just that part. It's not that hard to reach.

@PacDork You're right. One of the easier wizard modes to reach in my opinion.
