I Saw one of the Pirates machines at Sears recently. Sadly, they had
tooken out the ball so you couldnt play. However, the flipper action
seemed nice.
I have to say, sure, this isnt a real machine.. however, this is a
HUGE step up from the other crappy knockoffs out there.
I remember the phoney pinball machine we had as kids. It
was actually one of the more expensive ones that was near
fullsize, and stood on legs. There was no bumper type action
at all... just spings and contact points. No sound fx except for
an annoying point bell. The layout was poor and boaring. No
ramps, holes, etc. Very craptastic
In comparison, Im pretty Jealous if kids are getting these
to play with for xmas heh Well, I cant be too upset.. as
I now finally own 2 'real' pins
