[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 26353, member: 558"] Yes! That´s the first thing I thought as well, it felt so small. I guess I had that impression because the GNR right next to it is a widebody, and the size difference between normal cabs and widebody is much bigger than I thought. On the other hand, part of the playfield on the Pinball 2000 machines disappears behind that screen reflection, while some parts, like the bonus multiplier lane lights shine through, which makes it seem even smaller. Maybe in 1999 they thought that this was just incredibly cool, but it just ended up annoying me. The place was also brightly lit, which seemed to take away some of the contrast of the screen reflection. I guess it´s kinda ironic that they tried to save pinball by making pinball more like a videogame, and today we´re having videogames emulating pinball (with even Pat Lawlor joining the party). Both GNR and RFM absolutely pale in comparison to TAF, though. The place where it was standing was a bit darker, so the lights really impressed me, and the loud showtime multiball start, along with the brilliant lightshow is just out of this world, and something that´s just impossible to replicate in virtual pinball, sadly. By the way, I didn´t have the guts to nudge the machines at all. GNR and RFM just seemed to heavy, and I just had too much respect for TAF to try to shake it ;) [/QUOTE]
