[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 103300, member: 590"] Real pinball machines are best if they're well-maintained and not broken. A neglected machine with weak flippers and half the switches out is not worth playing at all, and TPA is better than that. Real pinball is [I]hard[/I]. By playing TPA you can get accustomed to a table's ruleset, but when you encounter the real machine you have to learn it all over again, to get accustomed to the quirks of the particular instance you're playing and to the greater unpredictability of real physics.
