Tron Pinball ' The game has changed'
RayB:
See now this is what Stern's pins should look like in order to attract fresh new players. Making them look the same as classic 80's pins just ensures they appeal mostly to nostalgic guys over 35.
:notworthy: :applaud:
drventure:
Wow. Hats off!
Incredible build. :notworthy:

I'd like to agree with this because I like the Pinball 2000 style cab, but lots of people hate it.
Don't mean to get too far off the topic, but don't underestimate the power of something classic as an attraction. Harley Davidson spent hundreds of millions creating a cutting edge version of their V-Twin, even contracting Porsche for the engine design.
The resulting bike (V-Rod) is a great bike, but not the blockbuster success Harley expected.
People kept buying the old air cooled, vibrating Harleys in record numbers. I think Stern knows that the tried and true classic layout sells, and all the new companies like Jersey Jack and Popadiuk are also sticking to that formula.

Question for those that hate it is why? I would think it's more around the 2 games or the arcade/pinball interaction. Not about the layout. If you ever have the chance to play one in this configuration ( dmd reflecting down) forge about arfm,ep1 it's a much nicer experience.
TOK:
The most common complaint I saw is that the playfield feels too small. I think that is mostly an illusion caused by the monitor housing though. When you see the Pinball2000 playfields out of the machine, they're pretty close in size to a standard one.
