[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 189633, member: 896"] Hi Viking, I know a lot of people who were brought up with Williams/Bally that don't really like those new Sterns. I wonder if you got a chance to check out Jersey Jack's first machine, Wizard of Oz? I know a guy who has worked on the LCD display for it, and has one at home now (just a block from where I live). Although the license is not my taste really, I was impressed by how "high-quality" the machine felt in comparison with the Sterns, tough to say what really makes the difference, but I would say overall sturdiness and smoothness of play. This is also true for the Big Lebowksi prototype that is built with the Williams quality in mind and already plays like one in my opinion! (Dutch pride aside offcourse.... :) ) Anyway, to stay on-topic: great find Fungi! I read it with delight and it's really nice to get a face with the name! I actually thought -without meaning it as an insult btw- that Tarek could be somewhat of an alien because of his slightly Star-Trekkian name and otherworldly scores :) Funny thing is that Adrian Barritt of Pro Pinball whom I got to talk to at the DPO where he was invited by the Silver Castle guys who are making a Timeshock pinball for real, was aware of Tarek exploit's on Timeshock when it was originally made back in the '90's. His quote: "there was some German guy we got to know who put up incredible numbers on Timeshock".
