Quoted from mof:

LOL !!! great point...
Answer: DUH/YES.
Best light shows are:
1. Early 80s Bally pins with one lamp per bonus point: See Fathom, Centaur, Embryon
2. no stupid flashers that blind you and laugh in your face
3. killer programming to do fun things with the lights when it's attract mode, bonus count, or multi-ball start...
Today's games with:
1. no/few bonus lamps
2. stupid flashers
cannot compete with games of yesteryear in the lights department.
And don't even get me started with the whole twenty inserts flashing at once horrible ui that is customary today.
