[QUOTE="Pop Sergeant, post: 256386, member: 920"] In real life, many years ago, Pin*Bot was our go-to table for a year or so. It most certainly required a deft touch at bump, push, and slam to stay out of those outlanes, especially the dreaded left one, but it always kept us coming back for more. The TPA version is pretty true to form given the lack of ball spin physics (which isn't too much of an issue on this board) but suffers mostly in that the nudge function is so grossly (as in low-fidelity) modeled on android and PC. It was always greatly satisfying to reach the Sun given the drain factor of missing (heck, even hitting) that target -- as I recall, there was the dead ball drop onto the top of the right sling which would either go right out lane or other direction that would arc STDM if you nudged badly as it bounced out. Pin*Bot in TPA is one of the tables that keeps me coming back -- not because I play it too often (it is frustrating on an off-day) but just because knowing it's there is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
