Imo no, virtual is nice but not the same as a real machine.

Absolutely not. Virtual games aren’t even remotely close to the real deal. They’re often far easier, since the physics are so predictable. Please only enter high scores for “in real life” games.

I'll give an example as to why virtual pinball shouldn't be used on here for ratings. I have obviously fallen off the deep end into pinball, and seek out different games to play. I was thrilled to find Williams Pinball arcade on my phone, which has some great classic games on there. I have only ever Cirque Voltaire on my phone, and its great. A few months ago I went to someone's house on a pinball trade that had the physical table and learned... there is a backbox animation. I was blissfully unaware having only played the virtual version.

Double no on high scores.

Since ratings are completely meaningless it’s irrelevant what criteria or methodology one uses to generate them.

No one needs to justify their opinions. There will still be people who disagree and hate you for posting it.

Oh yeah. Much hate here for virtual. (Hehe).

As a matter of fact, I'd support pinside going full out and having a completely separate set of forums for Virtual. It's kind of it's own thing, and has only a rough connection to an actual pinball machine.

Please do not rate actual pinball machines in the Pinside table according to your virtual experience, or enter your virtual high scores.
