[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 37746, member: 152"] In Twilight Zone's case, Pat Lawlor was given complete creative freedom after the record-breaking success of his previous table (Addams Family) and so for fans of the Lawlor "stop-and-go" style, TZ is the pinnacle of the game. Lots of complexity, multiple possible strategies to pursue a high score, great balance (no 2X Continent Super Jackpots overwhelming all other scoring here), lots of variety in the different modes, etc. Oh, and it's pretty challenging, too. Combine that with a strong and well-executed integration with the theme, good artwork, and lots of innovation - the Powerfield/MagnaFlip has been done on no other table before or since (although the Powerball itself has made a few guest appearances on recent Sterns) - and you get the #1 rated machine of all time. I am not as familiar with ST:TNG, but I understand it's TZ's counterpart for "flow"-oriented tables. Very fast and wide-open playfield, lots of action, the table even preloads balls in the kickouts so that players get back into the game faster. It's a lot of fun, but I think it's a bit easier than TZ (except those outlanes...if you think CV's are bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet!). [/QUOTE]
