[QUOTE="Richard B, post: 7753, member: 306"] There's a new version of Black Hole on VP, and it plays much differently than TPA's version. There are more voice samples and sound effects in the VP version, and even the ones that are also in TPA sound different in this VP version. There is no "whooshing" down below, however. The upper playfield is much the same, though the spot targets seem easier to hit from the flippers, as is the right capture hole, but the lower playfield is much more difficult than it is in TPA. Hitting the loop shots is near impossible. I was unable to capture any balls, and was only able to increase the multiplier once, while on TPA I could score them at will. The ball also seems out of sight longer, and the space between the flippers seems wider in this new version. There also seems to be more distance between the drop targets and the flippers. I haven't been able to last long enough to see if there are any rule differences, as this version is much harder than the TPA version (which is pretty challenging in it's own right). Not sure which of these two is closer to the real machine, having never played (or even seen) one of these in real life, but it's safe to say that either the TPA or VP version is off the mark.
