[QUOTE="Logan812, post: 118732, member: 827"] Love these threads. They're one of the very few "which is better" types of threads that rarely, if ever, cause heated arguments. I participated in a Beatles album thread similar to this one not too long ago. Anyway... [B][U]Space Shuttle[/U][/B] v Central Park - While I do love EMs and I hope there will be more in TPA in the future, Space Shuttle beats Central Park for me. If that particular 60s EM would've been Slick Chick, however, then Slick Chick would've been my choice. *fingers crossed for it to eventually be in TPA* El Dorado v [B][U]Flight 2000[/U][/B] - Sort of tough to choose between these two. I went with Flight 2k because it's the only classic Stern in TPA, and it has some unique features among TPA such as the ball-locking mechanism. [B][U]Champions Pub[/U][/B] v Harley Davidson - Honestly, HD would've lost no matter what. I despise that table and only play it for goals, tournaments, or multiplayer if someone else wants to play it. Other than that, Champion Pub is really cool. [B][U]Gorgar[/U][/B] v Goin Nuts - Do I really need to elaborate on this one? [B][U]Cue Ball Wizard[/U][/B] v Big Shot - Again, I love to have EMs in TPA, but Big Shot still has some detail innacuracies like no buzzing when holding the flippers or the score reel counting the bonus, which aren't really [I]that[/I] important but make a huge difference to me personally. Other than that, Cue Ball Wizard is a definite guilty pleasure of mine. Not only is it the only pinball machine within 50 miles of my hometown, but I used to play Microsoft Pinball Arcade which included this machine. Also, I like CBW's cue ball gimmick. [B][U]Haunted House[/U][/B] v Class of 1812 - I choose Haunted House not only because it's in Microsoft Pinball Arcade like CBW, but because it's my favorite among the two Gottlieb "lower playfield" tables - thought I wish Victory also had that gimmick like it did in the prototype.
