Owned one for a little while many years ago.
The cue ball makes the gameplay a little "Clunky". Yes you can take the cue ball out, but it makes a relatively simple game even simpler.
You can sharp shoot a couple of the drop targets from the flippers, but most of the drop target action is taken care of by the bumpers at the top.
Some of the speech calls can get a little grating "You sure need that ramp shot"
Bottom line is that it's a fun game for a while. Better suited to a large collection as the novelty might wear thin after a short while.
Do i miss mine?. Nah, not really.
Sold it to a friend of a friend for $900 and it was pretty close to mint. I know he still has it, and i could probably get it back for what i sold it for, but i couldn't be arsed.
