[QUOTE="Pinballfan69, post: 19001, member: 221"] Great post. I too wish that Zen flipper spacing were a bit farther apart. That said the closest the physics that I enjoy is Funhouse and Bride of pinbot. I find myself playing those tables more than MM CV or even TOM (which is my favorite table that FS has brought out for TPA) I just wish that some of the tables in TPA had the same physics as the 2 I play. Other than that having both games I still play Zen more. Although I can see where some players have their issues. There are times when playing Zen and Marvel that the games take forever or even have marathon games. I recall playing World War Hulk and played for over and hour with multitude of extra balls. Sometimes I get that same feeling playing Bride but with bride you can lose balls fairly quickly do to the outlanes. Like you if TPA had the same or even similar Physics that ZEN has, I would be in pinball heaven. Anyway not trying to continue the FS vs Zen debate. That is where the difference with pinball purists and enthusiasts. I'm an enthusiast and love everything pinball. I like the obscure 'taking the ball off the table with too much hocus pocus' It adds a different aspect to it. There are some tables in Zen that act like real tables especially some of their early tables. Zen like to take a different approach to pinball and that's ok. It may not be real pinball but it's still fun. on the other hand the comment about the flippers is interesting. I feel in TPA they are limp and you really can't do accurate shots like you can in Zen. There are some instances where I'm trying to shoot at target on the sides in TPA and can't even do that without it draining down the middle. Letting the ball roll down the flipper and taking a shot seems more like guess work where on a real table (and in most cases Zen) you can be more accurate with practice. I find that even in trying to practice a shot it's still 'guess work' [/QUOTE]
