Message: <blockquote data-quote="timmiles" data-source="post: 25729" data-attributes="member: 407">My introduction to pinball came through playing Pinball Dreams/Illusions on the Amiga, which really switched me on to the silver ball. After that I used to play whatever was in the local bowling alley (I held top score on Streetfighter 2), and have played the odd table in RL when I have had the chance. Then not played for years until Pinball Fx, then TPA came along, which has reignited my enthusiasm.I have downloaded all the tables, and love love love the older ones. Black Hole has had me gripped and downloaded Gorgar last night and it has a real just one more go quality that I think the newer modern tables lack. I was trying to get the 300,000 goal, and just kept going for it. They have a purity to it that is really appealing. BOP is similar to me.I do like the more modern ones, TOTAN and TOM in particular, but having completed the wizard goals on them (after not that long really) I feel like I've 'completed' them and rarely play them now. And other modern tables just don't appeal - I never got my head around Ripleys (too much going on) and I played Cirque Voltaire, and without even knowing what I was doing I found I had lit most of the circus acts just by keeping the ball in play - it seemed to me to lack any requirement for focussed targetted play. Compare that to BH where every hit really really counts to get that score up. I think the older tables have a longevity and challenge to keep building that high score that the new ones lack a bit - what do others think - retro or modern?</blockquote>
