[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 202737, member: 2300"] Yup, did get to play a Whoa Nellie! I've seen it at a few shows in the past but never actually played it till this go around.

A simple layout with lots of roll overs, pop bumpers, and a few specific shot holes or targets to make. It's got all the chimes from regular EM tables but with the added voice overs. I actually had a blast playing it.
