[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 249298, member: 4638"] Hardbody, X's and O's and Laser War are pretty awful, tbh. Dr. Dude and Fish Tales are tough for me, pretty ruthless games. Firepower is challenging, too, but that's one I really like. Johnny, Indy 500, DemoMan and Dr. Who are games I also like a lot but my playcount is relatively low. 6/10 are in TPA so I'll be studying the rules where I can. [B]Got to play more IRL Who today.[/B] here's what I noticed after a week with the TPA version: Left loop is much harder to hit IRL, the TPA version wants to vacuum the ball. The O ramp is also harder to hit but after a few games I found the sweet spot fairly generous. Ball locks are much, MUCH easier IRL. Jackpots seemed easier, too. My overall multiball performance was better on the real thing. Ball speed did seem a little faster, but not dramatically faster. Part of the problem is really just the TPA physics on a big, open playfield. I seemed to get a lot of outlane drains on both versions. Not as many drains IRL off a failed O ramp shot, though. Definitely drain down the center more in TPA. Again, this I attribute to the physics. On the table I played the rubbers would often stop the ball short. [/QUOTE]
