[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 21811, member: 358"] Underappreciated by the main public, mainly because of a theme that isn't very inspiring combined with a not-so-obvious ruleset, possibly combined with very hard to reach goals. Whereas people that are more into pinball give the tables more than the occasional glance, learn the ruleset and learn to love the game and keep coming back for more. In the current TPA lineup I'd say only RBioN would count towards that nomenclature (as obviously a "players game" is commercially less interesting...you want instantly attractive games with deep rulesets for both the casual player as the more serious, competitive player. So MM, MB, TOtaN and TOM...all those top 20 tables :)). Funhouse would've counted too ("not-so-obvious ruleset") if the theme itself and it's presentation didnt speak to the main public (shoot rudy in the face!). [/QUOTE]
