Just a quick question:-

When completing a Ratings & High Scores on pinside.com is it appropriate/acceptable to complete a Rating and or enter a High Score if you have only played the machine on a Virtual Pinball Machine and not actually played the real machine.

Please note: I have only ever completed a rating / entered a high score on actual real pinball machine I have played. I have played a lot of pinball tables on a virtual pinball machines and they are great but personally feel that they are not real pinball machines.

Just want to get others thoughts.

I agree virtual pinball is definitely no the same. Just on my own principle, I would not enter a high score of a rating based upon playing a virtual pinball.

I just wanted to find out if my own thoughts were shared by other which the above is validation of what I was thinking.

I feel that when I am playing a virtal pinball on a full size machine it is 80% like playing a real pinball machine but later when I play a real pinball machine that % changes to about 50%.

Don't get me wrong virtual pinball is awsome and I will always reccomend it to anyone but just like Coca Cola " You can't beat the real thing!"
