Now here's innovation! Dynamic playfield art? Transparent flippers, colored from the underlying lcd screen? Ball tracking techniques? This game could be the first to literally put pinballs on fire, making them leave smoke trails, blow stuff up on impact. I love it!

But there are some huge difficulties as well. With such a prominent position for the LCD, you'll need an extremely talented artist to do the graphics and animation. Integrating the video into the game is not easy. What worries me most is that the LCD may really limit the possibilites design-wise. The prototype games remind me of the Pin2k machines. They were awesome but also a bit boring when it comes to the shot layout (small cabinets, all shots pushed all the way to the back).

All in all, this project is definitely headed in the right direction and -in some ways- impresses me more than x-men and woz combined. I'm not ready yet to pre-order but will be watching P3 closely

Oh, and welcome to the site Gerry!
