I thought it would be cool to start a thread that points out the references/similarities that Pat and the JJP team have built into the game that was on previous titles Pat did. I'll start with a few: 1.)the voice of Mandi is also the voice of Candy on Safecracker and both of their names are acronyms, but can't remember what they stand for off the top of my head 2.) the classic Lawlor left ramp hit by the upper right flipper for a Jackpot shot as seen in Addams Family and Whirlwind; it's the opposite on Earthshaker where there is a left upper flipper that feeds a right ramp 3.) the cell phone scoop reminds me and feels like slot machine scoop on TZ where it can be fore or back-handed, but not as close to the player, but it's not as punishing on missed shots. 4.) Characters have that Road Show look to them 5.) the game is great and hard to quit playing and that's why I'm tired today at work
I'm sure there are many others, but those are the ones that were on my mind.
