Few shots in pinball feel as satisfying and just plain amazing as the 100 mil super in ft. It's a hard setup and a long road but the payoff is soooooo good. Ft is a players game wrapped up in a pretty package. I've owned two of them, my first I really didn't like as I didn't have the chops for it yet. Now it's one of my top pins of all time, the replay ability is just awesome. As a similar comparison I've also owned two bsd's. Absolutely loved them as well but as far as the entire package, ft is it baby. Both very tough games, but here's the difference,

Ft smiles at you with a little smirk as the ball drains....

Bsd flips you off and laughs...

Sorry I know you are talking hs2, but I just felt compelled to make the comparison to the two..

Hs2 is pinball. The theme is fun, a great game for the novice, and just a overall good time. SR knows how to make a shot just feel good and sometimes that's all you need. I respect these types of games more and more. The ability to pull in a player that never has heard of pinball is a testament of great design and has stood the test of time.

I route both of these games and they are side by side. Both represent the era very well and are amazing in their own rights. I've been foolish and let both go the first time. They are bolted to the floor now, and if it matters ft and t2 would be two games I'd be buried in.....sttng may be there as well, but time will tell. Man I love that Ritchie family. Get both!

Indy what do you think of the superbands? I have pretty much gone back to rubber. Still like the cliffs post sleeves, but man the flippers just feel dead at least to me with the poly stuff. That being said, I've played some different brands? Or different runs of the poly bands that have felt better than others...
