[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 244290, member: 896"] Our national pinball association sent some investigative reporters (pinheads all of them) to play the one that arrived at the distributor to post an article in our magazine (yes, we have a glossy! :) ). To summarize: they were impressed by the graphic design, the open playfield (in comparison to the somewhat cramped one from WOZ) the fun gameplay and the depth of the rulesheet. The last aspect was also a bit of a negative if you compare homeplay to exploitation (this is a Dutch term for pinballs that are placed in public places, don't know if it translates properly to English), because people who casually encounter a Hobbit will be somewhat perplexed by the rules perhaps. For homeplay it's an ideal machine. They talked for example in how getting to multiball is not that hard, but really scoring big points from it means stacking (the right) modes (31 in total I believe!) with it and that is definitely an advanced strategy. I really like those kind of things for home machines. So enjoy [MENTION=607]Metalzoic[/MENTION] ! I'm in the happy circumstance that I know the guy who designs the video for the display (and also did the playfield and some of the art direction), and he gets all the JJP machines he works on as part of his salary. And he lives one street away from me..... :) [/QUOTE]
