I don't have POTO yet.
(PS3)

You don't play on a tablet? you should seriously try one out. it's also easier to sneak in games. i like it so much better than with a controller. it feels more like pinball to me. and i think the perspective is 100% better than on a widescreen tv.

POTO is a quarter burner. the art, sound and theme are all top notch. it's just an incredibly basic and brutal table designed to eat quarters. the gameplay, especially on a tablet, where nudging is so dodgy, makes it a chore to play unless you get a lucky ball. I usually don't continue a game unless i have a good first ball.

I like to play on my big screen.
Matter of taste although I certainly agree that the perspective is better on tablet.
I played POTO a lot IRL. I always liked this table.
I look forward to it even though I know it's a ruthless one.

The design of Captain Fantastic always amused me. If only they knew Elton John was gay before covering the machine in scantily-clad supermodels.

Ha! You know what, I never even thought of that! That's awesome!

Anyone ever play the table?

I've played it a ton. They were everywhere when it came out. They made over 16,000 of them. I always thought it was pretty drainey. A good pin but nothing really special as far as gameplay goes. I still play it when I see one.

GUNS N' ROSES
(Data East/1994/3.000 units)
Slash discovered pinball machines in the early 1990s.
He still quotes Funhouse, Party Zone, The Addams Family and Jurassic Park as his favourite ones.
In 1994, Data East asked him to participate in the conception of a Guns N' Roses machine : playing to bring band members on stage.
The soundtrack featured the song "Ain't Goin' Down", a Use Your Illusion outtake that signs the only official release of the song.

A few years later, Slash contributed to the Viper Night Drivin' machine produced by Sega.
You can hear "Speed Parade" from Slash's Snakepit during the game and Slash made a few cameos.
He also recorded a song dedicated to his love of pinball machines : "Be The Ball" features on the 1995 Slash's Snakepit album It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.

Love G'N'R. Was lucky to see the Use your Illusion tour at Boston Garden growing up. During the show someone threw a bottle at Axl's head and he stormed off stage. Axl came back 10 minutes later, alone and pissed, then lectured the audience. at the end of the show, he violently threw his mic as hard as he could into the area the bottle had come from. Rock n Roll!

G'n'R pinball is one of the few real tables I would buy.

We agree, this table is incredible.

And they were each assigned very hazardous duties but I took them all away from all that and now they work for me.

I would easily pay $1,000 towards a kickstarter for this table. I want it so bad!! I doubt it will happen since Axl is such a dick so I guess I'm gonna have to pony up the $5,000-6,000 for the real one! Sigh
