[QUOTE="Pinballfan69, post: 145580, member: 221"] Well you have basically summed up most of the glaring issues Zen may have in their table designs. Regardless, Zen's tables have more appeal to me only because of their polish. I agree that most of Zen's originals are lackluster and it was their first venture into the video pinball scene. There are some interesting and unique one on the core packs that stand out. Rome, Tesla, Shaman, are actually pretty decent. Secrets of the deep, Bio-lab are really fun tables IMO. However, it doesn't deter the enjoyment I have with the unique mission and design that no real table will ever produce on most if not all of Zen's creations. I do have gripes with Zen's physics Ball weight is just too heavy compared to TPA where TPA's ball is a bit too floaty. And the slingshots don't have the activity of real tables. . There is one designer that did all 3 movie themed tables in Star Wars that tweaked the slingshots and bounciness around the outlanes that gets the nudging game into effect. In most cases I get a bit scared when the ball get's into the slinghots. There is now more of a chance to drain in the outlanes than ever before. Zen pinball is a simulation and no video game representation can out do a real table in comparison. TPA's allure to me is that I can play adaption and emulations of real tables bringing the nostalgia back from playing some of them back in the hay day of the arcade scene. In the end it's all about personal opinion. [/QUOTE]
