[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 151701, member: 2300"] Given the immaculate condition of all the tables I was hunting around trying all the TPA tables I could. I was getting worried I couldn't find El Dorado until I found Gold Strike which is yet another El Dorado clone. So now I've played El Dorado, El Dorado City of Gold, Solar City, and Target Alpha by going to various shows. The only version I haven't played of El Dorado is the Canada Dry version. In any case this played fantastic and without the annoying "drum" sounds we get on the TPA version. It also played slightly different where the drop targets would stay down between balls. So it made for a much easier scoring table. But still required accuracy with hitting the targets. So just another great skill based EM game. [URL=http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/35.jpg.html][IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/35.jpg[/IMG][/URL] So that's about it but the last informal most popular table poll pictures that I'll post tomorrow. But I will mention one last thing. For all the complaining about game ending bugs in TPA the real tables have quite a few bugs too. Here's a list of what I ran in to at the show - and these were tables that were in fantastic condition: - Blackwater 100 - Ball got stuck on a post that I couldn't nudge out. Had to slide off the table glass to get the ball and reset the post. - Blackwater 100 - During multiball a ball got stuck somewhere under one of the elevated playfield. Staff had to raise the pin up to hunt for the ball. - Police Force - During multiball it didn't kick out one of the balls and promptly forgot about it. When my third ball drained there was still a ball sitting in the plunger lane. - Various games - Balls would get stuck and I would have to tilt the machine to get the ball unstuck - Various games - Hitting a drop target would not always register - Strange Science - The ball hopped over the slings and in to the outlane draining. Although that hop was pretty damn cool! So if TPA is really recreating these tables it really needs to add more buggy behavior. ;)) [/QUOTE]
