Okay Xenon has all the charisma - it doesn't need to have big breasts with bells and whistles. Its' attract mode includes sounds and I think maybe it said "Xenon". The 'custom' speech is achieved using Texas Instruments speak and spell sound processor TMS5200NL which reads the voice patterns contained in 8 ROM chips on the vocalizer sub-PCB. Wish Bally Vector had this but I always liked the speech which is identical to 8 Ball Deluxe. About Xenon game play, it was very prone to SDTM because of the wider gap between the flippers - not only that, there is a psychological pressure that builds with the gradual speed increments of the synthi-cord I shall call it. As kids this table was not easily mastered. Also it was very satisfying to land the ball in the top sink hole. It was something of a science fiction dream with those airlock noises and the male/female android voices. I know this table is winning and I know why.
