Pinball FX is Very Confusing

I’m a sucker for a pinball game. What can I say? They’re quick, they’re casual and most of all, they’re simple. Sort of.

I played the XBLA demo for ten minutes, decided it wasn’t crap and bought it on the spot. You’d think I’d learn by now, hey? Pinball game mechanics are simple. I haven’t yet seen a pinball game where the rules are straightforward.

For example, on the Pinball FX ‘Agents’ table you can get the message

“The Informator has Reported. MEET HIM”

The wha’? The who? For a start, Informator isn’t even a word. You mean Informer, or Informant. I suppose The Informator might be a robot, in which case I’d be prepared to let it slide in the name of sci-fi atmosphere.

But the point is, how the heck do I meet The Informator? You tell me. Click through for a high-resolution screenshot of the Agent’s table.

*hint* Apparently it’s NOT the ramp on the right with the picture of the dodgy-looking bloke. I tried that.

Post your suggestions in the comments, please.
