[QUOTE="invitro, post: 234481, member: 446"] Got it. Thanks, you and Kolchak, I never read the facebook page unless I'm hunting for news on Stern Pinball Arcade. FWIW, I'm mid-40's, and first started playing pinball very regularly in high school, machines from Pin*Bot to Earthshaker, mostly Williams but some Bally and Gottlieb as well, and even Lazer War. But my heart is mostly with WMS DMD's from T2 until the end. I never saw any EM's in the places I played, until a couple of hipster college bars I frequented (one had Swinger, I think), and then I made friends with a local operator who let me play the dozens of glorious EM's like Wizard in his shop, and then the rabbit hole opens. I have strong preferences for WMS and Williams, and think other manufacturers/eras are inferior, but enjoy something from every manu/era. I do think the WMS/Williams machines are flat-out [I]better [/I]than EM's, but as that is the heart of TPA they are very well represented, and now EM's are under-represented. I would've been unhappy to see more than one or two EM's back in Season 1 or 2, but now I want two per season. In general I think TPA is making pretty much perfect choices for tables, that are almost exactly along my preferences, given licensing difficulties. [/QUOTE]
