Quoted from PanzerFreak:Sadly this is true. Many of Sterns premium features could be much more interesting and fun if additional code was added for the devices.
It would also be nice if there was a mode in GB Premium / LE that required the player to hit the moving Slimer mech at different shots...great idea that never happened.
The code is usually slightly different btwn most le's and pro's. It's pretty rare they don't code something for the featured items that separate the pro from the LE. The main one that comes to mind is second playfields. Maybe they could do something different with them but.. like the crossbow is basically the same on a pro to le TWD. same animation and result, not sure about the hammer on Metallica Since I haven't played it much.
Wonder what would happen if they kept the pro and LE premium playfields the same. Except maybe part of a ramp, adding a few more balls in the trough for a higher count multiball mode and a few inserts in order to light a few more modes that were really fun. If they really changed the code to that degree would it still be considered the same game?
