IRL the saucers were a bit less picky, although on a freshly cleaned playfield the ball did love to rim out. The waterfall was not as dangerous, usually spilling out reliably onto the right flippers.  A lost ball between the right flippers was called a "frosh flush" (we had coined this our freshman year on a Captain Fantastic, where the double flippers were on the left). The advance bonus target was the "Wally button" after a classmate who couldn't resist going for it, almost always flushing SDTM. This TPA version is as deliciously frustrating as the real thing. It was my first wide body pin, and I remember how much effort it took to bump the thing (and there was no way to win without lots of bumping).  Using a controller really helps because nudging is so important.  As other folks have mentioned, Paragon really needs to be configured as a 5-ball game (as it was every time I played it IRL).</blockquote>
