[QUOTE="Moon Jump, post: 23917, member: 377"] Problem with FunSpot is nobody plays the pinball so the rarely fix them. Also, you'll never see new Stern machines there. I'm friends with the manager Gary and he told me how unhappy he was with Monopoly and after that he said they'd never get another Stern made pinball machine. If you're in the New Hampshire area and you want pinball you're best bet is to check out Sara in Pellem New Hampshire at The Pinball Wizard's Arcade. Even with how well the physics are in TPA you sometimes get a lot of the same shots and bounce backs. I notice that a lot when I play stuff like FunHouse, the ball always returns on the right flipper, EVERY TIME. I played in the C Group at PAPA two years ago and the kickout was totally random. Once it shot it on the top of the sling shot, the other right down the middle and another almost on the right flipper. Harry Williams said it the best, "The ball is wild". There's nothing that compares to a real pinball machine. It's different every time you play it. Pinball Arcade is great, but it's still a simulation. [/QUOTE]
