I think the playfield is a clear precursor to Spiderman. The main differences are the saucer is on the left, rather than the right, and no ramps (besides the side ramp).
To add briefly to the real life difficulty of TZ conversation:
I have to stand somewhere in the middle on this. Gameplay difficulty is hugely dependent on what machine you're playing on- rubbers on/off, size of the outlanes, tilt/difficulty settings, how steep the playfield is/if it's been...
Memorize where the mines are, and when possible, put yourself towards the side you need to be turning before the turn hits. If you are having trouble, you don't need to nab every 10 million; the artifact is more important.
AFM and ST:TNG are probably my favorites thus far. HD is my least favorite, and unfortunately, I also have to say Taxi. I do so begrudgingly because I love the game in real life, but TPA's version is combo-ramps-to-million all day long.
Looking forward to:
Centaur, and any other early 80s Bally.
To answer your question, Millionaire is definitely not one of the "most famous and successful tables." My guess would be that we won't see it in TPA as there are many other WMS games that people would like to see first.
F-14 on the other hand... it has my vote.
Having played CC, the code really does seem unfinished. It's a shame that's the version TPA has to use, as there is a really neat looking home ROM that was released to update the rules.
I played TPA initially on a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13 inch for about a month before I got an iPhone. I haven't played on it since. The game was generally choppy and buggy. This was probably in October so they may have improved the Mac version since then. The only benefit I saw (besides the bigger...
Leg kicking is one way to death save, but generally the most frowned upon as leg bending is definitely possible (I've seen it!); that's the quickest way to make enemies with an operator. The way I do death saves, and it's sort of hard to explain, is as the ball is approaching the left side of...
This. The pops are unusually inactive on TPA's AFM. I find it easier to get Super Jets on a real one than in TPA. Compare that to the pops on CFTBL where your base jackpot skyrockets in no time.
You want price inflation? You got price inflation.

I have a Genie on location near me; the physics in TPA are eerily close to the one I play. I think it may be their best recreation yet, physics-wise, although the table itself is not as strong as some of the others.
Man... that is a beautiful Centaur. 2500 is still a little steep IMO, even for a specimen that nice. Compare 2500 to the going price for most other early 80s Ballys. Unfortunatly, the name of CENTAUR often inflates the price.
