If you don't like flipping this game that's okay, it's fine to have an opinion that doesn't match up with other people's.

But if you don't like flipping this game you and I definitely differ over what makes pinball fun. Especially this part: "a half sized flipper that doesn't add up to much of anything".

I'm going to gently suggest, in a not mean or spiteful way, that you might not entirely understand how to play the game.

So if the ramp to hit the target was a big ol' bash toy you'd like it better? It seems like that's what people are asking for.

I'm not personally amazed by the multi ring target, I think that's one of the few things about the game that I'd change if I could, it's not particularly 'satisfying' to hit. Maybe a bash toy would be, I dunno. It's cool that it has rings, and different levels, but it doesn't really feel like it's a skillful thing to do, you just shoot the ramp.

What other Stern pro has 4 flippers and drop targets?

It's cool to not like the game, or just not understand how to shoot the upper flippers, or to want a toy or whatever.

But I find this narrative that it's 'empty' or decontented somehow very odd. 4 flippers, drop target bank, spinners, newton ball, and because it doesn't have some piece of plastic with an opto or a switch that you bash it's not a full game?
