Stopped in to Flippers just before 11 AM to check out the ST Pro. Decent game. Didn't wow me as much as I thought. What made a bigger impression was seeing the ST sitting next to your WoZ. I know ST is a Pro, but still - a pretty big difference in the two machines on general. Nice that you had both front and center.
Quoted from jfh:Played ST at 1up this afternoon. Nice line up.
My very first reaction on ST? The red DMD is absolutely horrible. Character animations look cartoonish and chubby (and if the one girl I saw is supposed to be Alice Eve - yikes!). I don't remember if the LE has a red DMD, but if it does that will have to get swapped out.
I don't like the pro translite/cabinet artwork, but that doesn't make any difference on location.
I liked the art on the PF more than I expected from reading here. The play itself was fast, really fast. Watch out for the left orbit. None of the shots themselves were too hard; didn't pay attention to the modes much but they seemed basic and/or unfinished. Liked Klingon Multiball, voices, sounds and lights. The ship seems to be nothing more than the AFM ship, but the mechanism and ship itself looked far more sturdy and robust than it seems in the pictures. I've played WOZ and ST now this weekend - ST wins hands down for speed, WOZ for toys and shots. Both are pretty in their own way.
That's a pretty good summary of my experience and reaction today. I'd not seen or played either WoZ or ST until today at Flipper's. I walked away thinking that ST is a nice Stern. I completely agree with your comments about the dots. Not that you can do a lot with dots, but the animations seemed like they could have been better. The red DMD, IMHO, lacks contrast between the dot intensity over traditional orange. I feel the same about blue DMDs. We'll have to see how the ST software evolves as I think there is a lot more potential locked up there.
