[QUOTE="CC13, post: 145244, member: 1151"] [b] For myself, I find that the best metric of quality is whether or not a table can grow with the player. This is a big part of the reason that the Bally/Williams DMD output is widely considered a golden age of pinball—the objectives are wonderfully balanced on most of those tables, with something relatively easy that's worth going for to appeal to beginners (usually some form of multiball) and more strenuous objectives for veterans. This is why I took exception to DokkenRokken's suggestion of Gilligan's Island—delivering the Lava Seltzer scores 50M points plus an additional 50M/shot for the rest of the round, whereas it takes a while to score 1M by anything other than the jungle or Kona. Once you get consistent on your ingredient collecting, you can score arbitrary amounts with little effort (also, whose bright idea was it to have the only method of getting multiball be via a mystery award?). Don't forget the Mini-Me spinner; it gets stuck really easily if what I've heard is true and rarely spins more than 3-4 times per shot even when it works.[/b] [/QUOTE]
