[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 180541, member: 320"] Wizard is the top pic? Come on. It's got great art. No doubt. But it's gameplay is nothing special. That's ok. It ain't gonna happen anyway. With the very limited number of EM's they're gonna do, FarSight is not going to pay a license for one. I can't see that happening. On the other hand, Wizard would probably work better in digital form than some of the 60's tables. These two inch flipper games just don't translate as well. They require a specific feel for nudging that's just lost in the video game world. Also, they feel even more "mechanical" than the 70's games. The loud "thong" of the bells (as opposed to chimes) is lost as well. The biggest thing lost from a game like Central Park is IT HAS A MANUAL BALL LOADER! I laugh every time a ball is kicked out with it's mystical coil firing outhole kicker. I'm sorry. This game does not have that. If I want to manually load and plunge all five of my balls at once, I should be able to. It's a neat feature of these type of pins. It's not going to happen though. Why? Because they'd have to program this game much differently than the others and it wouldn't be financially worth the time. They did remove the sound of an outhole kicker so I guess that's something. What's the word from FarSight right now? Two EM's? Fireball and Atlantis (or C37). They'll do fine. [/QUOTE]
