[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 184432, member: 3746"] Yeah, my guess is that Farsight used the project started date (1979) which is what is listed on the header of Xenon's IPDB page. They really are only a year apart; the major difference technology wise is that Xenon has a quite a bit more capable sound board. Paragon's sound is more like Genie (sounds when you hit things, no background noises, though from Youtube videos the bleeps and blips are not quite as annoying as Genie :) ). I kind of lump the pins technology wise from 1977-1984 together, although there's a big sound difference from Flash and Gorgar on upward. If this was really a early SS poll, you could've put pins like Eight Ball Deluxe or Fathom on it and to me it would've fit. (If it was an actual EM poll however, very few tables after 1977 would qualify. :) ) [/QUOTE]
