    Quoted from PW79:

    A reeeeally good pinball player worked @ Stern coding games
    Aaaaand
    Another reeeeally good pinball player got a job designing games.

    ...and they squandered their talents trying to give people eye candy for the tv strapped onto their pinball machine? It would be a huge waste of resources, imo. It's the design of the game itself that i would be focusing on. But then again, when i want to play pinball i prefer to actually pay attention to the action on the playfield. All those animations will get old, anyway. I found myself paying less and less attention to the screen on WOZ, and skipping the animations whenever possible...because i want to play pinball, not watch movie clips.

    If KME and Mr. Sheats teamed up for a game, i'd be far more interested in the playfield design and rules than whether or not there's a tv showing clips of a movie or tv show.

    Of course, i can't afford any of these games anyway. But that's ok, I'm happy collecting classic SS games with *gasp* numeric displays!

    That said, I wouldn't hesitate to drop a few bucks in AS or BM66. I just don't think it's the ground-breaking tech that pinball has "needed" all this time.
