    I find the biggest difference is that Stern pins lack the charm and theatricality of B/W pins - they feel flatter and more corporate.

    Stern modes definitely feel sort of Data East-y and generic, almost like there's a disconnect between the playfield action and what's happening in the "game" (on the DMD). That's why Addams Family is so appealing, all the parts of the table correspond to a section of the house, which contributes to the exploratory theme. I just don't get that as much with, say, Star Trek, where I feel like I'm hitting shots just because the machine says so.

    Quoted from cody_chunn:

    I think the general message that Hell's cool might not be a preferred theme for kids.

    Nonsense, hell is totally in right now. Hail satan!

    Quoted from smokedog:

    Have you seen Horde on TWD? Classic, tense, and great interaction with the DMD. One of my favourite modes of all time.

    I'd like to, and TWD seems to show a lot of promise but man, I've put a lot of quarters into that game and I just can't seem to get anywhere.

    Stars and Joker Poker could easily stand with the best of them.
