Horrible, Horrible Game....
No other words, no wait, I have others:
Stern didn't even try (AGAIN!)
Ever wondered how monopoly in a field turns a company lazy as fuck?
Watch Stern Pinball!

Ohhhh, it's not that bad. I don't think it's great...and certainly not worth the effort of re-making, but obviously there's some monetary angle.
I'm surprised LEDs weren't used as far back as the 70s......they've been around since the 60s, and obviously cheaply enough, as Ron Hoag made LED guitar pickups in '68.

Never played it on an actual machine, I do like the ruleset (emulation)
We had a Theatre of Magic to clean in the shop the other day and I think that's my favorite for now.. Such a shame that a good one will run you a lot of money (and I don't have space for any more Pinball Machines...)

The plastic-y thing is what bothers me most, the playfield just feels like it could fall apart with every shot.. and in some cases it will...

Addams Family is just to hard. My favourite pinball is Tommy. Yes it's relatively easy to get free balls, and you can play all day, but it's great fun and you can bump it around a lot before it penalises you for tilting.
My favourite Williams pinball is Tri Zone. Lots of good memories of that machine.

Naa. I played one yesterday, and I was getting skillshot almost every ball. I mean, I didn't break a hundred million in either game I played, but it's not a hard table. Monopoly is a fucking hard, and utterly unforgiving (I guess that's fitting given the theme), table.
