Whatever you do, don't touch the third rail of pinball discussions - that being Bally had more innovations, art and built-in quality in 4 games (Fireball, 4MBC, Nip-It & Capersville) than 40 Gottlieb titles of the same era.
Oh that's right, I'm wrong. I forgot about Gottlieb's "vari-targets"....
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
i was just playing two tables produced a year apart: Bit Hit & Paragon. What an overlap of technology and art. The wedgehead feels and plays like a dinosaur. Don't get me wrong as I love all pinball, but you can feel Bally striving for something when you play the Paragon, bad sound card an all...
Fireball not only strives for something but hammers it. Just fricken hammers it.
It's like your favorite rock song from your favorite band (live) and you're in the front row.
When my son has his fiends over its the only game they play; 14 year olds talk'n smack and screaming over a 4 player death match. No other table I've owned brings this out.
