[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 254007, member: 896"] Having played the original dr. WHO extensively in TPA and real life (and liking the table a lot), I'm happy to report that I'm taking a liking to this original too. I'm not familiar with the TV series, so a lot of names and references probably get lost on me. I like the mix of original elements and extensive nods to the 1992 table. I do have some complaints: - I get a nasty stutter quite often that leads to sudden accelerations of the ball (or so it seems, it's probably missed frames). It almost always happens when I shot 'W' and the ball comes through the right inlane. But it also happens during other gameplay. I have the feeling that it is related to some combination of intensive physics processing and a lot happening on the DMD too. iPad Air 2, iOS 10.0.2. I'll try updating to the latest iOS to see if that helps - the table is somewhat on the dark side (no SW pun intended). Visibility is ok, and it may be in keeping with the theme? - I like my tables as true to mechanical 'truth' as possible and the majority of toys and parts behave like that. Therefore, the MB figures (including Missy) are a bit jarring when they appear and move, too much video game stuff like Zen does. - Reading the score from the DMD could be somewhat easier when seperated with points for millions etc. - DMD could also be a bit more informative at some points, like displaying jackpots when scored. Also actually displaying the accompanying bonus when cycling through the villains (before selecting one). - Minor story gripe: should the villains supply bonuses? - I miss the video mode! Or is it hidden? Loving the Dalek pop bumpers, the Tardis (doors), audio, flow on the table. Fun lane diverter on the left, looks a bit light-sabery to me but is probably a dr. Who prop or something? Still figuring out the MB part of the gameplay. Nice job Farsight! [/QUOTE]
