[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 43893, member: 590"] I think AC/DC gave Stern a shot in the arm. It's a genuinely great table, maybe the first rock-music-themed pinball to make really good use of the source material; and it's a hit. They need to innovate a bit more, but I don't think they're going away. Meanwhile, Wizard of Oz's playfield is so impressive that I'd really [I]like[/I] Jersey Jack to succeed, though I don't know if they can do it. There just aren't arcades everywhere like there used to be; in a world with sufficiently fancy personal gaming options, the economics don't work out. The ones that do exist tend to be oriented toward younger kids and centered around redemption machines. That inherently limits the size of the market. In the Nineties, pinball eventually managed to hold its own against coin-op videogames, but the whole playing field evaporated. [/QUOTE]
