Just my impressions of what was there -

Whitewater - first time I played a nice one and got why people loved the machine. This was an awesome machine. Wow. I would take this over MM or AFM anyday.

The Walking Dead - I think that it is a good machine. I think the early hate will die down. I would rather play this than tron, actually.

Taxi - the one next to the Whitewater was beautiful. Whoever restored this machine did an awesome job.

Apollo13 - a pretty neat game. I liked it. The only thing I didn't like was that it sometimes struggled to keep track of how many balls were in play so when you drained your last ball, it would have to sit their until it timed out.

JM - not a bad example but the more I played it the more I realize I should pick one up sometime

Flintstone - I think this is a neat game. Trudeau did this game right.

Demolition Man - as much as I want to get into it, I always want to like it more than I do

Monopoly - I didn't get far into it but it seems a lot better than the hate it gets

The Addams Family - finally played one that impressed me. Maybe, I am a guppy for bright LEDs but I like it

It is really surprising sometimes when I run across a nice example of something that changes my opinion about a game.

Quoted from jawjaw:

His name was Chris. I talked to him a little bit about the beautiful Getaway a few pins over. It was great to see one with leds because I was thinking of doing the same to mine. WH20 and TAF just looked awesome but I have never seen a pinball machine look as good as that Taxi. Amazing. I too thank him for bring not just one but many beautiful, great machines. He looked busy keeping them all running so I hope he had a good time.

Was this Chris an older gentleman with gray hair and cycling gloves?

Before this weekend I had a very short list of games that looked better with LEDs: BSD and LAH. LEDs look nice when done right but for every way to do them right there are a 100 ways to do it wrong. Comparing the two WH20s, the game really did need more lighting to feel alive. The other one looked kind of old and unlit. Also, as good as the ramps looked, I would have a hard time arguing against flame polishing. Cloudy ramps really make a game look old.
