Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard B" data-source="post: 4054" data-attributes="member: 306">Does anyone else have favorite tables that are terribly designed, but you love them anyway? For me, one that comes to mind is Phantom of the Opera. It's got some of the worst design choices imaginable:-Flippers that are farther apart than normal, with no post.-Two kicker holes that have a strong tendency to toss the balls into the outlanes or between the flippers. -The organ ramp, which is integral to activating multiball, is positioned so that balls rolling down it often go between the flippers.-There aren't a whole lot of features.These would be fatal flaws, if the presentation elements weren't so fantastic. In addition to the awesome theme, the back glass features the phantom with a mask that can become transparent or removed during play (revealing the best depiction of Erik unmasked I've ever seen), as well as a beautiful, scantily-clad-yet-not-trashy woman. The playfield also had some nice, interesting graphics. The sound effects, however, are what really make this table. Between the phantom's eerie voice, Christine's terrified heroine (with a scream whenever you drain a ball that would make Jamie Lee Curtis proud), and an stellar score, with plenty of Beethoven, and some opera (of course). Anyone else have "guilty pleasures?"</blockquote>
