Apollo 13
Artist Marc Raneses told us that Jeff Busch did the backglass and playfield art. As Jeff's art assistant, Marc did the screen print production for the playfield and cabinet. He also did "some dots". Game requires the more expensive non-magnetizable balls to function properly. Per Orin Day, a 128x32 DMD was used for Apollo 13 and subsequent games. Previous games used 192x64 displays.
Unless more than 3 BLASTOFF letters are lit, starting 13-Ball Blastoff should be an immediate priority.
Voltage scoring can be huge if you shoot for the shots that aren't flashing.
If the rocket lock (for countdown) is a safe shot, Multiball all day is a repeatable and useful strategy.
The Apollo 13 modes can all be useful - Undervolt, CO2, and Rocket 2 Ball are modes to note.
