I think that first post was a bit harsh. I think for people that remember a ton of classic pinballs that already have their two or three real pins, it's a great way to experience all those classic games again. How else would you if you are out of space or spare cash. I would not recommend it to someone as their only pin. For me, sound is a big part of the game and with a decent audio system that part of the experience is dead on. Just depends on what you expect out of it. The more you expect the real deal, the more the first poster is correct. I just want to see all thise classic games again, and play a game or two. I think VP is perfect for that.
