[QUOTE="RetroDude, post: 13404, member: 187"] I like PINBALL. Real pinball. Fantasy pinball, with animation and effects not possible on real machines? Not so much. I did like (and still DO like) Pro Pinball, but that was because it was the best and only option around short of buying my own machines. There simply are not very many real machines available to me within a day's driving distance. I'd be willing to pay a hell of a lot more than FarSight is currently selling their tables for, just to get such a good play value. In comparison to playing real machines, the cost is dirt cheap. Currently, the cost for these tales is real cheap to attract a general audience. It seems to be working. If in the future, popularity and sales dropped and it became much more of a niche market just catering to real pinheads, they could probably increase their cost on a per-game basis to support just that niche. Unfortunately, I'm a PC only person, so I've been unable to support them through purchases yet, but you can be assured that I will buy every table they release. I have a personal feeling (but not the backup evidence to support it) that I'm not the only one that's willing to pay a lot more to get accurate representations of real machines. Niches can certainly work, but we're not there yet. [/QUOTE]
