[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 63326, member: 1600"] I admit to being intimidated by Twilight Zone at first. It was still fairly new to TPA when I first saw it at the National Pinball Museum but I needn't have worried that would be my only shot at it. In the next few months I would go on to see at least a dozen examples in seven different venues. But on that day I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the powerball into the game! And while the left flipper was game, the right flipper was actually a little weak. But the game wasn't killing me like I was used to having it do on my tablet, and before I knew it a very grungy powerball, that looked a lot like every other pinball, came spitting out of the gumball machine and out into the playfield. The next thing I knew it was sailing thru the air after some random event and landed on the “Battle the Power” playfield, from which it promptly drained. Outstanding! After that me and Twilight Zone came to a new understanding, where I realize that it's only a pinball table and that I don't have to fear it. That's a place in my amygdala that properly belongs to Gorgar anyway... [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/TZ%20NPM%20145.jpg[/IMG] Crabtowne in Glen Bernie, Maryland was a riot. It felt like “the arcade that time (and technicians) forgot.” But they had some interesting machines!
