[QUOTE="MWink, post: 172468, member: 1979"] I went today (Friday). This was probably the first time I've played a real pinball table in almost two decades and the most time of spent playing pinball during my lifetime. It was quite fun and interesting. I was impressed to see how close TPA plays to the real machines. In some cases TPA plays better because virtual machines don't wear out. It was kinda sad to play the lone ST:TNG table. It was all by itself and in bad shape. The upper flipper was stuck up, making it impossible to hit the right orbit. I still managed to get half a billion in one game. Of course that's nothing compared to my 29 billion in TPA. I really wish I had the money to buy that table and restore it to it's former glory. If I could own one table, that would be it. There were a number of other TPA tables there as well. There was a really nice Victory, that just felt awesome (and I don't particularly care for this table in TPA). I enjoyed playing Genie, much like I do in TPA. There was a Flight 2000 but it felt like the flippers were a bit weak. I could not get close to hitting the ball into the lock. There was a very nice T2 table that played quite well. I think it had a surprisingly low selling price (of course I don't know what these tables are worth). I think Harley Davidson was there but I had no interest in playing it. Black Rose, High Speed, and Scared Stiff were all there but I didn't get around to playing them (I'm allergic to lines). Sadly, Haunted House and Cirqus Voltaire were there but never operational. I also got to try those virtual pincabs. They are pretty nice. If I had that kind of money to spend on entertainment I'd probably get one. For a moment I thought one of them was running TPA because I saw Whirlwind but, as soon as I plunged the ball, I realized it was not TPA but probably something like Visual Pinball. Overall, it was really neat to go to. One thing that made me really happy was seeing that there are still plenty of interesting tables not yet in TPA. [/QUOTE]
