[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 63342, member: 1600"] I have Crabtowne to thank for my first appointment with the Doctor, coming to TPA as it did three weeks after I got back to Florida. (Come to think of it my first games on Attack from Mars and Genie came on the real pinballs as well.) But like anybody I'm aware of the "short list" and didn't pass up any chance to play any of those pins I came across either, as well as just about every other game that would make any list of top fifty possibilities for TPA. And that Dr. Dude was in pretty good shape by Crabtowne standards! While it kicked my ass, it wasn't because it was broke. I just didn't really know what I was trying to do, and with a pin that's in your face like that it takes a little getting used to. (Anyone ever play Spectrum?) [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/DD%20CT%20130.jpg[/IMG] But as far as gripes about TPA go, the whinging over Dr. Dude takes the cake! For one thing, anyone who doesn't like the sound package in this pin must be partly dead inside. It may be silly, but it's good fun, and it features more first rate original music from Chris Granner. And I have one word for the camp that won't shut up about how HARD the Dude is on TPA: Zen. The APE provided a chance for a more thorough examination, and by this time I was an old hand at the game (having had it on my tablet for an entire week (that I mostly spent playing Genie.)) But who cares? I was ready! And this pin did not disappoint! Even with those coiled wires you can see there, with polygons truly beyond measure, the game seemed to be running at well over 60 frames per second! [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/DD%20APE%20307.jpg[/IMG] The one I saw in Dallas was in even better condition than the one in Florida, and what's more, it seemed to be in far better focus – except when it wasn't.
