[QUOTE="netizen, post: 116600"] Lets' think about that for a second. SS tables have been around since the 70's. Where as EM table existed from prior to the 1920s until the late 1970s. Even if you limit the idea of EM machines to the Flipper era - ipdb returns a search of over 1300 EM titles, where as using the same search features of requiring the game to have flippers ipdb returns only 725 SS games from 1975 until today. Don't discount the rule sets on EM machines just because there are no ICs controlling the logic. These tables will still take time because that logic will have to be scripted out and coded into the game by someone, and that still takes time. Whereas with modern tables that have roms most of the rule-set programming is already done, FS is more dealing with the art and the physics issues, and those issues do not magically with the age of the machine being digitized.
