[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 48955, member: 1196"] We have a pretty beat Party Monsters out here in Pittsburgh. Now disregarding strange things that happen (such as SDTM drains because the ball takes a weird angle due to warped/old wood), it plays nearly identically to the PBA version. They even programmed how the kicker from the BBQ Bonus hole has trouble getting the ball to the pops, and how the ball sometimes but not always does a swirl coming off the Monster Slide. That is what you call attention to detail! Our MM is too screwed up to do a proper comparison. The kickouts are all over the place, Merlins hole is screwed up. But the ramps/loops and castle shots all feel identical to the PBA version. As for Twilight Zone, go watch the new PAPA Pinball uploads on Youtube right now. They had a finely tuned TZ machine and the kickout at the slot machine was so perfect, they were able to abuse it just like you can on Pinball Arcade. As a result two guys were shots away from Lost in the Zone on a 3 ball, no extras game. With a machine that well tuned (minus the diverter issues they were having in the second video), it plays extremely close to the PBA version. [/QUOTE]
