[QUOTE="Day, post: 52702, member: 1967"] can I be the heretic in the congregation... I have absolutely no love whatsoever for ATM. I only really bought due to the anticipatory hype here on the board. I find gameplay, repetitive and dull; shooting the centre shot targets or saucer is dull and frustrating in the extreme due to those predictable centre drains. I knew it would play somewhat similarly to MM, but bought anyway, carried along by the wave of enthusiasm. I'm glad not to have made then same mistake and have not bought ST:TNG. OTOH, I so enjoy the tables RBION & TZ. both have deep & satisfying gameplay where single games can last longer than I have available time. interestingly, i loathed RBION initially, with what seemed to be frequent, brutal, unforgiving side lane drains. I learnt the rules and outlane drains are no more a problem than any other game where proper ball control is exercised. For me this and TZ are a total blast. varied gameplay, nice ruleset, challenging but also fair. it's very seldom you get a centre drain or a SDTM on RBION. also I play just to hear the innane completely over the top sooooper jaaaackpot announcement. this always brings a huge smile. There are a few other tables I also don't get that much satisfaction from... BH, BK, Genie , but here expectations were already far lower from the outset so no big deal, and no disappointments. finally, I'm not over optimistic for Dr Dude. based on my experiences with ATM I may give this a miss, or at least wait for the dissenting voices to make themselves heard here. excommunication (or The Adams family) is my only salvation.
