[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 239402, member: 320"] I thought of writing this after reading Pin Wiz's post. As most of you guys know I don't post much anymore because, well, I don't have much to say that I haven't already. FarSight can digitize whatever they want. Glitches and and all they've already made a great pinball simulator as far as I'm concerned. Without them, I'd really have to think about spending thousands on a TZ, or a AFM, or whatever. Something that's just not logical for even the "typical" middle class person with a spouse and a mortgage. It's nice to still get the enjoyment out of these tables without having to invest so much of our hard earned dollars and, for some of us, insane amounts of time in bringing them as close to factory original as to the best of our abilities. I'm currently spending an asinine amount of time repairing a late 50's Gottlieb Woodrail. My cash investment isn't much and I throw my time out the window because I enjoy it for some reason. My point is I just can't fathom investing the capital into a real AC/DC or Metallica. Two tables that I think are awesome. Not to mention the other recent Sterns that kick @ss. I played Ghostbusters today. What a brutal and fun game but, there isn't an arcade around me and I don't have 5k to spare on one. I also tried to play a new KISS but it kept having problems that locked the game up or made it think a ball was missing. See, even the real thing can, and will, have its share of glitches and problems. We should all just be happy that there's something coming down the pipeline that will let us play these great recent and really expensive Stern pins on our tablets, PS4's, XBONES AND PC's to, at least get our money's worth out of them. Cause, remember, these are recreations of FIVE THOUSAND + DOLLAR pieces of commercial entertainment equipment. And most of us do not have that kind of expendable cash. [/QUOTE]
