[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 166687, member: 3746"] Working your way to LITZ is the reason why people think that table is fun, it's a "shots" type of game. The real TZ is a challenge to seasoned pinball players. You are right, there is no flow (it's the opposite of a Ritchie table, it's very stop and go). And there are other problems that I think make this table not deserve top status regardless. The pop bumpers on the real machine for instance are often insta-drain, which means you flat out don't go for certain shots on the real table, at all. This and other tough drain shots means TZ is often frustrating for beginners, and IMHO a top rated table should be both playable for beginners and also have challenges for the experts. (This may be why Farsight tuned TZ on the easy side.) TAF is *much* better in this regard than TZ in real life, the theme is more on the fun side, it's more beginner friendly, and it flows a *bit* more. (It's still not a Ritchie style "flow" table though. So we'll see. :) ) [/QUOTE]
