I love pinball, and this is pretty much the main game that I play. I don't mind the difficult tables, in fact it frustrates me to a level where I end up playing longer than I would otherwise. My wife on the other hand has been growing for a fondness of the game to a degree. She love some of the tables, mainly Scared Stiff because she can actually sit down and play that for a while at a time. She has gotten to where she feels she understands the table and therefore enjoys it. I gave her Twilight Zone, she played it for 5 minutes said it was too hard and refuses to play the table any more, and likewise enjoys Star Trek even less.In this case it is not a huge deal because I have already purchased the tables and I play the heck out of them. If it was not for me though and she was playing the free version to try the table, she would never purchase the table. I know that she is not the only person out there who is like this because I see this on others who I try to share my love of the game with. Don't take my words the wrong way and make it out that I am trying to make every table super easy for everyone becuase that is not the way it should be, but if you go and make a table that is already difficult for 75-80% of the people out there and make it even harder before they have a chance to learn to like it, you are really hurting your chances for those people to buy. I do think that if the choice is made to remove the bumpers from TZ, then there should be two versions of that table. One with the bumper and one without. This would give the people who are not die-hard pinball fans a chance to enjoy a nice table and let it grow on them. Once they are hooked and feel comfortable on the table, then maybe they would move to the more difficult table. I would much rather see something like this than have people try it without the bumper, get frustrated and then never play the table again, or even worse not look at purchasing the table as well.</blockquote>
