I love this trio of games and was wondering if anyone else sees them as reincarnations/impovements on each other? If you look at the playfield layouts off all three, WW and TAF are the same basically and WW and TAF are the mirror image of FH. Even the pop bumpers are in basically the same place.

Come to think of it, NGG reminds me alot of these three also...

Quoted from pintastic:

I dont see how TAF and FH are anything alike

I pretty much see them as mirror images of each other. The big ramp being on the left on funhouse and the right on taf. The upper flippers and pops also being reversed. Targets in the middle of the playfield accessed either off the lower flippers but primarily off the upper flipper but facing left on TAF but right on FH. No loop shot on TAF though.

Out of those three games, I think FH is the best.

The one thing I don't like about funhouse, though, is that you can't shoot the ball up through the pop bumpers like you can on the other two. I forgot about the scoops he uses all the time, too..

Quoted from Finrod:

Yes you can, in fact it's the right Gangway shot. It's just a very difficult shot to make.

yes, you're right. I used to play this thing back when it was new and i just played it again a few days ago and forgot about that. He yells "gangway" when you hit it, doesn't he?

Quoted from emo:

I always thought the shots (especially the top flipper) on NGG were an update on WW.

Good to know. I'm trying to decide if I want a WW, NGG or FH right now. I actually have a good lead on a nice WW and a HUO NGG but I like FH better than WW and haven't played NGG yet. Decisions, decisions...

Quoted from shock_me:

He also feels he made it too deep for the route market.

but on the other hand, that makes it ideal for home users! We win for once!

Quoted from soren:

he went back to Whirlwind as the blueprint for Gofers.

i absolutely love WW and i have a HUO NGG i can get for fair market value. Would you say i'd enjoy this game? I've never played it and i'd have to invest an 8 hour round trip to play the thing.

Quoted from ssathre:

It would be great to see another one of pats designs.

and he has alot of fanboys that would probably pony up the $$$ upfront based on his reputation.
