[QUOTE="arakno1, post: 232868, member: 5947"] I think junior is not totally wrong. I played the real pinball table back in the days and it was a total money sucker. Nobody wanted to play it for that reason. For me there are numerous anomalies on this table. First of all you can see there is a problem when you realise that when you shot 5 ball at least 1 is lost without having the chance to touch it. In this case if you have the chance to go "everlasting love" 1 on 10 is also lost without having a chance to touch it. And dont tell me "it is for experts" or " it is on purpose" it is just nonsense for any game ever invented to end the game before even letting the player trying to play. There is also a problem of dynamic with the slingshots maybe. Probably also a problem with the flippers that reportedly are 1/8 inch shorter than the standard Williams flippers but that cant explain everyting. Generally the control of the ball is hardcore and some accelerations are just impossible to predict. That doesn't mean its not fun to play. But using the word frustrating is not out of subject. On the real machine it was a pain in the ass, clearly, if it is not worst the money you don't play it again. Big mistake and the machine soon disappeared from the place. On pinball arcade well, its free so i believe some can have fun and feel to have reach an expert level when the one billion bar is reached but its wrong. On pinball arcade my first go i reached 900 millions, but then its been a week i'm sucked on it and i barely reach 400 000 millions. For me its the opposite of a good sign. I'm not an expert but its just suppositions. Who am i to say it wasn't buit on purpose and then who are you to say it was? Now we deal with it. Though, like i said i'm totaly perverted by the table now, as i want to figure out how to control a lil bit more and make points out of those problems. So yeah still a good game, addictive, great music and great animation. But i maintain that the original table was hella frustrating, i can still feel the anger in me 20 years later. Thank you guys for the advice in your comments that is really helpful for me. Great message from doncarlos. Can someone give me the link of this PAPA website? Sorry for the english as you probably realised it is clearly not my first language. EDIT: alright i found papa vidz and it helped me a lot, plus i played seriously all day long so i figure out the way to embrace this table and dance with drac. Its still hard but i slowly approach the billion so thanks everyone for this topic. I am so sad i did not insist like i should when i had the chance to play the real table now...
