    Quoted from ThatGuy:

    Wow. I've purchased most of the Pinball Arcade tables and really enjoy them. There's a zero percent chance of owning most of those games. I don't think the world is going to hell because of this.

    They are really well done. Obviously the real thing is better, but it is a nice way to play a lot of games that are priced out of this world or simply no where on route to play. I play them at home on my tablet and enjoy them a lot.

    I totally agree and think that games should be maintained. I hate playing route pins that are broke just as much as the next guy.

    Let me play Devil's Advocate here for a second though. Outside of pinheads, the *vast* majority of people I see play pins on route, wouldn't know if a game wasn't working right or even if a flipper wasn't as strong as it should be. Most of them are lucky they know to plunge the ball and stay around for all 3 balls. For these people, as long as the game functions, they are none the wiser. They certainly aren't going to hold something against pinball that they don't realize is wrong to begin with.

    Quoted from maddog14:

    you just can't fix stupid

    Good luck finding a TOM on route to play in MN. We had one at a local place for a couple weeks. Anytime a game like that gets put on route here, the locals find it and blow up the op wanting to buy the game and it is gone within a couple of weeks. Same thing happened when they put a Scared Stiff at a local theater. Gone almost as fast as it came.
