Ok finally got to play one for the first time. i will start by saying i am not that good at playing pinball, lol but i enjoy it so much as many of you do. I like the magic of wondering how it all works and where will the ball go and come from. this game didnt have any of that wonder.

I think I see the connection between your pinball skills and not appreciating a Steve Ritchie machine.

You either love them or hate them and that is personal preference, you have your rights to feel either way.

Steve's machines are notorious drain monsters. You need to work them hard to master the flow and with time and practice, you start to appreciate them. Come back for more torture, Eh!

I applause Gary Stern for keeping the industry alive over the past two decades. I am a Williams fan but without the dedication of Stern, we would not be discussing this post.
