Quoted from mbaumle:I always thought the System 80B games were pretty okay. Simple, but ok.
It’s not until you get to System 3 where things turn messy. Random awards, spammable shots, catch-up, Etc. They tried too much too fast and didn’t take the time to refine what would otherwise be cool idea implementation. People love to hate on them, but a lot of their decks are really fun to shoot otherwise.
On Big Hurt, if you flip the switch to Tournament Mode it does away with the catch up bonus and ball save. You still have the slot machine-style pop bumper awards, but it's a start. I assume other System 3's have the same Tournament Mode--what does that not fix in order to make the game more balanced?
