Quoted from nicoga3000:

I really really want to play this game so I can settle my "visual" beef. The playfield looks so empty. I know the orcs pop up and give you targets, but it just doesn't LOOK fun to me.
That said, I refuse to pass official judgement until I get to play one. The game looks stupid beautiful. And Smaug is amazingly cool.

I USED to feel the same about AFM. Until I played one a couple times back in the day. Then I had to have a nice one. And it's turned out to be one of the most fun games I have.

So don't let that turn you off... putting a FishTales ramp at the top of a widebody may indeed make a winner. I wonder if the software recognizes a "u-turn" like FT does? (when it doesn't quite make it around the ramp and goes down the other entrance). They could add some kind of award for that

Yeah when that post goes up the ball must slam to a stop there and that's right over the edge of the switch slot... stressing the edge of the CC.

So plan on a patch of mylar over each outlane switch (good practice anyways as they can get dirty over time).

All in all a pretty damn good looking game.

Quoted from TomGWI:

Didn't know there was a diverter above the ramp. Cool.

I remember saying that I hoped they took advantage (in some way) of the u-turn effect a FT-like ramp can produce. Looks like they really did. Having to worry about it whipping the ball right back at you when you make a clean shot = pretty awesome.

I'm still waiting to see one set up with a steeper pitch... I mean just to see it at this point. Every vid I've seen has it set at that slow lazy tabletop angle.

Pretty impressive ad for the game.

So what you're saying is we'll be hearing a lot more from you in this thread in the days and weeks to come?

He's a lot like me... can't quit while he's ahead
