[QUOTE="k88dad, post: 38765, member: 1506"] [b]Quit talking and start chalking[/b] Eight Ball Deluxe is one classic table (note the quote in my signature) and it gets my vote. Unlike Big Shot, EBD correctly forces you to sink the 8-ball [I]after[/I] you sink 7 balls. The ramps are used wisely for this game, and the penalty for hitting a post near a ramp (a near-certain drain) puts the emphasis on accuracy. At the same time, the right-side drop targets allow for more casual aiming. A well-balanced table with a classic pool theme. My all-time favorite table is Paragon, though I doubt that it has the wide appeal of EBD. Paragon just has too many quirks, such as a double flipper on one side, spelling out "paragon" with a random letter hole, in-line drop targets for increasing bonus multiplier and that weird bumper box on the lower left. Paragon is the best of the wide-body era of 30-35 years ago. [/QUOTE]
