I'm not against older tables, but is this boring?

[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 51025, member: 590"] It's very much got that first-generation-solid-state feel to it: like an electromechanical table, only... more. There's a ton of stuff to hit all over the playfield. The mini-playfield is very cool, though the yawning gap at the bottom means the ball never stays there for very long. The simple electronic bleeps and warbles, used in place of the chimes on an EM table, take some getting used to; since these early SS tables didn't have the clattering relays, mechanical score reels or loud bells of an EM machine but didn't have a lot of ambient sound yet either, they seem oddly quiet. It reminds me a bit of the Atari widebodies, except for the artwork, which is very Gottlieb. [/QUOTE]
