Never seen either table in the flesh. What is the cue ball made out of? I'd be surprised to see a small ball impact a 6-oz resin ball hard enough to hit a target, steel or not.

El Dorodo's artwork looks... busy.

I will buy these.

I examined the 8 ball and the cue ball and I'm almost certain they are real billiards balls. The pinball does hit it hard enough to roll it up the playfield surprisingly.

Actually nice to see detail on the El Dorado table art instead of a blurry mess on the Gottelib Collection for the Wii.

El Dorodo's artwork looks... busy.

This layout appears on several pins. This is my least favorite as far as the art goes. But it is still a classic Krynski layout that is a blast to play. Amazing how often you drain on a pin like this needing one more target to complete a bank. Frustratingly good times ahead.

El Dorado looks a bit faded... Needs a bit deeper color I would say.
Cue ball looks interesting.

One of my favorite quotes in CBW. When you fail to shoot the All the way up the ramp it says "what kinda cow pie shot was that?" Makes me laugh every time.

I have never played cbw in real life, only on Microsoft Pinball Arcade. I thought it was the worst table on that collection, which means that I got more enjoyment out of Baffle Ball. But I just found out it was designed by the same guy who designed Teed Off (I love Teed Off), so my interest has piqued.

According to its designer John Norris at about 23:23 in this video, the cue ball at least is indeed "a real pool ball." It certainly struck me that way when I played it in real life myself.

Now I can finally shoot the ramp! The Microsoft Pinball Arcade version of this stinks because you just can't shoot the ramp. I'm glad that we're getting this instead of EBD. (Don't hit me!)

That is surprising. At least replacements are easy to find.

Look forward to seeing it.

BUG: The ramp's bulbs are in the wrong places. Also, the targets appear smaller, but it may be that they're too far apart?

Very true. In fact, with a good shot you can really move the sucker.

I've never actually held a steel pinball before but some googling says they're about 3 ounces give-or-take, or about a third the weight of a billiard ball. I can see it now.

Next task: using a pinball on a real billiard table.

I hope El Dorado has a Pro mode. Looks like there are a lot of great little details in the artwork.

I think Cue Ball Wizard is getting the Pro Mode.

Bummer. The art design of CBW is pretty spartan by comparison. I hope you're wrong on that, otherwise all those little details on the rear of the playfield will be lost.

Yeah they do have some heft to them and with the velocity that they're going at they supply more than enough force to overcome the inertial forces of the billiard ball
