[QUOTE="invitro, post: 144595, member: 446"] Letdowns: WHO dunnit is not supposed to be all that good, but I was really looking forward to it, and it is so easy that I played it for a total of one day. And it's much less interesting that I expected. Harley Davidson is even worse than I expected and is my least favorite TPA table. Black Knight was a bit of a letdown, until its graphics got an upgrade, or at least I think that's what happened a couple of months ago. The slot machine kickout on TZ is too easy, but this is only a minor letdown to me. I don't care much for Cactus Canyon, and expected a little more because of its high IPDb rating, and that it's considered a big collectible. But the deathstroke was vikingerik's word that the optimum strategy is to just play Gold Mine MB and shoot the Bonus X lanes over and over :(. Surprises: I expected Class of 1812 to be typical Gottlieb crap, but I have had a real ball playing it, and think it's comparable in quality to its WMS contemporaries. I liked Genie from the start, and have grown to love it while I've been serious about the 3M goal. I'm bored of it now, but Black Hole was my favorite table for a few months at the beginning of TPA. I don't like to play Elvira and Party Zone and similar games in real life, probably because I've only played worn-down ones, but I get a fair amount of fun from their TPA versions. I believed Firepower was a typically massively overrated Steve Ritchie table before WPHoF, but now think it's at least partially worth its reputation. I have liked all S. Ritchie tables more (except BK2K) since WPHoF and TPA. I have been very pleasantly surprised by all the Gottliebs. I even think I wouldn't mind if Farsight made more of them, the SS ones anyway. I thought Black Rose was supposed to be a rare WMS clunker. I loved it from its release, and think it has one of the all-time classic playfields. I think if it had high-quality sound and dots, and the big Sink Ship jackpots were toned down some, that it would be on the level of similar-era games like CFTBL and FT. Actually as it is, I'd rank the 1992 tables TAF > FT > BRose > Co1812 > DrWho > CftBL > LW3 > CBW > HS2 > Star Wars (haven't played much of Hook, OpThunder, Super Mario Bros, or Al's Garage Band).
