[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 264809, member: 134"] Computer pinball: MS Pinball Arcade. I was so excited when I saw it, and it looked good, but it played terribly. I suffered with it for a few weeks, thought to myself there has got to be something better, and most importantly something with Williams tables. Eventually I discovered Visual Pinball, back in 2002 I think, and never touched MS Pinball Arcade again. Real pinball: Pizza parlor near me had a NASCAR and I plunked in my $2 for 3 plays. Problem was, the magnets that fling the ball around the bottom of the table didn't work. So I'd launch the ball, it'd drain, but the ball save would load another ball, and this repeated for as long as I was willing to plunge. Eventually I fooled it somehow, got the ball in play on the table, only to hit a ramp shot that sent the ball on that path again and the ball drained. I complained to the cashier, and she just said they weren't responsible for the machine, the table operator is. I left the other 2 credits on the machine and walked. [/QUOTE]
