[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 35872, member: 134"] Its an ugly table, I'll give you that. Those early Sterns, Ripleys and Rollercoaster Tycoon and Monopoly, in person they looked like hastily put together machines with exposed electrical wires and cheap toys. As for the stereotyping...what a bland, boring, unfunny world this would be if everything had to be politically correct. Ripley's celebrated the odd, let the table have its fun. And what would you rather have for Europe, Nazis? The plague? Now, as for gameplay. This truly is one of those tables that grows on you. It rewards your diligence, and there are all sorts of ways to increase your scores. I played this table for 2 months solid when it first came out, could barely get past the 100 million mark on a good day. This past week, inspired by a different thread here, I started playing once again. Using some of the tactics I read, suddenly the game opened up for me and I recognized how to score. Here's a hint, it isn't with BOZO! And yes, road trip sucks, but once you learn how to control your shots, you rarely wind up with it anymore. Ripley's certainly doesn't have the style, polish, music, or design that say MM has. Its every bit as challenging though. And its got much more complex strategy involved. It is also nowhere near the worst table in TPA. [/QUOTE]
