So doing a little cleanup work on my Grand Prix looking under the Playfield there must be 75 relays And over five hundred switches. That being said I’ve heard before that Grand Prix is the most complex EM ever made. So if that’s correct could it be considered one of the most complex pinball machines ever made. Looking forward to your opinions ladies and gentlemen.

Quoted from frenchmarky:

The underside of the playfield does have that jam-packed look of a Williams/Bally DMD game.
So what is the complex part(s) in the rules that makes it so complicated compared to a similar game that isn't?

My thought of complex would be moving parts but that is open to discussion. It is my thought that EM’s are more complex than many SS games.
