[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 71455, member: 134"] I certainly get where you're coming at with the whole nostalgia thing, but on the flip side, this might be the only way some people ever get to play these rare tables. That poll with the Stern tables, so many of us have never even seen one of those tables in action, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be in TPA. I had never played a real Safe Cracker until a year ago. I had played it in VP quite a bit. The only reason I had even downloaded it was 'cause I heard it was a Lawlor table. I have since developed nostalgic feelings toward it after having spent many hours playing the virtual version. When I finally played it for real, it was like we were old friends. I think about a table like Big Bang Bar, which very few people in the world have ever touched. It is extremely fun, very funny, and wouldn't you rather play something like that, something you can newly fall in love with, in addition to tables you already know and love? To an extent though, I think this is part of why people aren't fond of Zen tables. You didn't grow up with them, their sounds and music don't flash you back to your childhood. Given a chance though, new memories grow. Shoot, I remember playing Space Shuttle, and when I hear that table fire up I have flashbacks to how much I didn't care for it then either! [/QUOTE]
