[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 221727, member: 3745"] PET3R, us Americans don't know anything about snooker. :) I didn't even realize for a very long time that it's a different game and not just another word for pool. I don't have time for a long post right now (I want to give CV a good writeup, I like that one more than most), but want to comment on this point: What's the difference between these three tables? They each have a single scoring mechanism that dominates everything else. Creature actually has a ton of side junk modes that you never explore, as much as Ripley's does. Why does unbalanced scoring kill Ripley's, but only hurt TOTAN some, and makes CFTBL a worthy challenge? Also, I've played a real Ripley's on a few occasions, maybe 30 games total. The continent bonus isn't nearly as dominating and it's much better balanced than in TPA. 20M is a good score for the continent total and 200M is a great game. The score values from super jackpots and multiballs and Atlantis actually matter when you're only turning over the continents maybe twice a game and you can't railroad into the temple 2x column every time.
