Quoted from Rarehero:Minecraft is the ugliest visual vomit I've seen in gaming….there are more appealing all-ages themes to base a pinball machine on.
Minecraft is a fantastic testament to the point that games don't have to be visually appealing to be awesome. We've gone through many years of video games focused on amazing visuals, only to realize that a pretty skin on a boring game is still a boring game. Minecraft has far higher replayability than 99% of video games created, which is the only important stat.
The reef tank equivalent in pinball is like this: You order a new mod to go in your game, and it looks great, but after a week you notice switches going out. Is it related to the mod or another root cause? You go to the local pinball repair shop to ask them, then spend the night reading repair manuals and schematics. You order a better multimeter to help take out some guesswork, and within a few more days you find the power board has issues. You replace a part here and there, but now you are convinced you should pull the mod to see if things go back to normal. Unfortunately the effects remain. You scour the internet, message forums, contact local experts, and after a few heart-wrenching weeks mysteriously the game is working again. It takes a few more weeks to get enough courage to try the mod again because it wasn't cheap, and things are perfect for years. What did you learn? Who cares, it's low maintenance again, but at least next month you will join a local group to get discounts on supplies and make friends with people that will help you out in a pinch next time.
