First time playing it and honestly my impression was not the best and I don't think it is something software can fix.

it really just felt barren of anything but a few ramps which are set so far back it's tough to hit all the time. I as well as many other casual players just walked away mid game. this might be one of those players games that you just can't walk up to and play and have fun. where as woz anyone can bat the ball around and make stuff happen and look pretty.

Pop ups will not do anything other than pop up from what I saw. how could they do anything else?

I enjoyed woz but maybe it is just the widebody that makes it feel slow and clunky.

Even saw some of the jjp boys testing out TWD. the comparable in action and on the playfields between the two mfg feels like night and day as far as speed is concerned. ( I never played twd just observed)

lady at jjp booth said they have already sold 1400 games and hope to start production in January.

i love pinball and really hope that jjp can make it thru but it just feels like they either have run out of steam or are gonna just squeak this one out.

ps. any of you fanboys who call me a hater, just shut your trap. this is an honest review from a casual pinball enthusiast

Yeah. I am an operator with a collection of games from our operations. None of which I have setup at my home.

I love pinball. you had to be the first to call me out for something!

Anyhow I just wanted to give you my perspective from someone in the field.

Is that not worth something?
