“Is it redundant to have both FH and Tron in the same collection?”

Quoted from Baiter:

There are quite a few tangible differences in the games, but shot geometry is not one of them. That's not to take anything away from either game, they do feel unique, but they are a lot closer than most people realize.

Big difference--I'd much rather look at the mediocre photoshop art on Tron than breathlessly wait to see the goofy primate underneath Congo.

Quoted from rcbrown316:

DID YOU DISABLE THE POP UP POST IN THE RIGHT LOOP/LAUNCH SHOT? MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE FLOW

Meh not much

They are not similar.... until the Tron VE comes out with its classic retheme and a talking MCP cone head on the playfield.... then they will be similar

.... and priced at $5k NIB

when its up it blocks the flow. when it's down it does not.

Hmmm...I've been thinking aboot this and I don't even know when the pop up, pop ups? Doesn't if you hit the right or left orbit, doesn't during MBs I can think of...exactly what is the point? Or does it come up for right orbit shot unless it's lit?

I almost never aim for lawlor shots anyway so seems pretty meh to me anyway; I'm probably forgetting something obvious.

I actually like this idea.

Kind of fits the original movie ending.....throw the disc into the mcp cone. I'd buy it no questions asked

Pops at launch, unless you go for the super skill by holding down the flipper button. I always soft plunge for Gem anyway.

Also pops up if you have super pops (I think it's called) running and you hit a right orbit shot.

I think that might be it ...

Yeah that's what I thought...that ain't much; it's not like Met or anything. If I don't go skill on plunge it's always soft to scoop anyway.
