[QUOTE="Captain B. Zarre, post: 136409, member: 2355"] My parents at least knew trapping wasn't cheating. I was playing CSI on location when I decided to trap the ball on the flipper, my parent asked me why I did that. I said it was so that I could further aim my shot to avoid draining and my parents actually liked the idea. Anyway, yeah, I totally hate how people think pinball hasn't advanced since the 60s. I personally think the movie Tommy could have influenced this, as it is still popular today and features lots of pinball machines from that decade. If they had done it with complex, modern machines like TSPP, it just wouldn't have the same charm. Still, most of my family knows pinball well because of me, maybe we could become an entire pinball-playing family :D [/QUOTE]
