Quoted from delt31:

it's stripped down

Oh man, you are totally right. This game is completely stripped down.

I mean, it's ridiculous how they try to justify ripping people off with this low-budget, no-content game. Do they think we'll be so easily fooled?

Quoted from delt31:

flip it around - I think that's the side you play pinball on

Maybe Scott's next game will be nothing but plastic ramps with no mechs at all, so people will think it's the most valuable game ever.

Quoted from pinlink:

I guess I care more about what is on top of the playfield than what is underneath.

It's what is underneath that makes the top so much fun. There's twice as many coils in this than most modern games - everything on the playfield interacts with the ball the way a toy on a spring doesn't.

Just saying "it's an 80s game, you can get those cheaper" discounts the modern flippers, the modern light show - all RGB - and the modern sound, including the sound system. It's everything about real, brutal pinball you get in 80s games updated to modern standards.

I get it's polarizing and some people are more interest in aesthetics than gameplay. Thankfully there's options for everyone.

Quoted from PoMC:

I've played it and "get it", but just not the style of pinball I prefer. If I want a "retro style" pinball game, I can buy an actual retro pinball machine at any time for a fraction of the cost.

You're missing the point. It's retro pinball fast and brutal with modern pinball mechs, lights and sounds.

You say that, then talk about just buying an old game if you want that. But if you got it, you'd realize you can't get what TNA offers in an old game.

#120 6 years ago
Quoted from StylesBitchly:

Well, I bought before trying one. Is this foolish? Probably.

Normally I would never advocate buying before trying, but I don't think it's foolish in this particular case.

- It's already in production and in people's hands so there's no fear of lost deposits.
- It's widely praised as a good game so odds are good you'll like it.
- If not, production of it is slow enough you could probably sell it for sticker price to someone who doesn't want to wait.

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

You missed the point. PoMc is talking about gameplay and you about technology.

"Retro pinball fast" is about the gameplay.

Probably the closest feel I can think of is BK2K - amazing soundtrack and light show, super fast gameplay, except TNA has better gameplay and a far better lower playfield.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:

I have not played it yet

Quoted from Jackontherocks:

no reason for it to be a top 50 game.

Maybe save your opinion until you can actually have one.

Quoted from FatPanda:

Doesn't even necessarily have to own one, just play one.

I meant have an opinion.

“I’ve never eaten at that restaurant but the food is terrible. And such small portions!”

Quoted from Fytr:

Seriously though, have you noticed any wear around the drain hole, shooter lane, or divots, etc. in front of the scoops?

All the scoops have built-in "mantis-style" protection - ie. metal all the way up to the top of the playfield to prevent balls from rolling over the wood edges.
