I had no idea at the time I played it that it would be coming to TPA, but I knew it had a great rep, and I wasn't disappointed with how it played; I thought it was a hoot!  I was hitting the bad guys and other targets, and generally enjoying myself, which isn't always how a first go at a strange pin works out!<img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/CC%20FL%20200.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now I can't say I've made any progress with this game on TPA. I think between my phone and my tablet I have about six hall of fame points. But I did see a pretty nice looking Cactus Canyon at the TPF, although I didn't get a chance to play it because there was a line out the door:<img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/CC%20TPF%20720.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />With Central Park we're finally down to a game you won't see every day, unless you work at a place like the Silverball Museum.  And those older games are what makes that place so fantastic. There are fifteen or twenty more modern pins there, but the incredible EM's are the reason to go.  Now it's no secret that games with short flippers can be pretty severe, but what DOES seem to be a secret is how many of them can be really fun.    Did Central Park at Silverball play like the one in TPA? Not quite. I don't remember winning fifteen free games for every third or fourth game I played for instance, and I don't remember watching the ball bang around like a proton in a nucleus. Instead the game played a bit more “leisurely” and I was scoring on the order of seven or eight hundred points per game. But I don't fault FarSight for tuning this one a bit “live.”  If it wasn't so sprung they'd probably never hear the end of it! This isn't serious after all - it's pinball!<img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/148928424/TPA/CP%20SB%20211.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
