I have added a few extras to make the table more “modern”, but keeping all of the old game. The DMD will always show you some info about the current mission and of course your current score. The DMD will use FlexDMD when used in a cabinet. The types of missions you must complete depend on your current rank. When all the progress lights are on, you move up in rank. When you complete a mission, one or more progress lights are turned on. If a mission is accepted, you have must perform a sequence of tasks to complete it.
