No disrespect to the PAPA crew or anyone organising tournaments and I may be in the minority here but one issue I have with the tournaments that have aired on the PAPA channel lately is the high proportion of modern Stern machines in the line up. I mean, I know that Stern was the only manufacturer for most of the last decade but there is such a diverse range of late 70s, 80s and 90s machines out there. I personally find it a little boring when you have, say, ACDC, Stern Star Trek, Metallica and Tron in the same competition. In my opinion it would be great it if it was mixed up a little more. If the classics tournament was also televised that would help as well.
Anyways, I guess we'll have more variety soon, looking forward to seeing JJP and Spooky games in tournaments.
The Ann Arbor thing looks so cool and I wish I lived in the neighbourhood.
