Quoted from Lermods:Been thinking about this, why put them on? The game is difficult as is and it was not designed to have them. They were put on games to suck in more quarters, not improve game play. If you put them on bsd, why not put them on all games? While it will make you better (and maybe a little more insane), I don't see why such a push to put these on exists. Game is a blast without them.
I didn't vote because I never tried the lightning flippers, maybe I need to just try them. They are cheap enough and I think easy enough to put on and switch back if I want.
I am sort of in the same vein. The game is hard as it is and yeah I could make it harder but it just kills me when someone who doesn't play that much pinball won't give it a chance because the machine is too mean.
