    The title says it all. This is a place to talk about some of the things that you just simply love about a game. Could be anything really, a toy, a shot, a special wire harness. What is something you love, that doesn't seem to get the love it deserves.

    For me, top of my head I think it is the Talking Groot on Guardians. I just think it is such a fun interactive feature on a game that really doesn't seem to get the love it deserves. The speech is smooth (motor based instead of Solenoid based like Red and Ted, Rudy, Freddy) He is front and center, and him vomiting up your multiball is just as fun today as it was the first time I played.

    Maybe I am alone on Groot...so what is YOUR favorite?

    I couldn't agree more when it comes to knockers. I recently got a wonka, and after so many tables with a virtual, ear shattering, knocker. I forgot how much I missed them.

    On a related, but non pinball note, the knocker in the bottom of a Qbert cabinet so you hear when he "hits" the floor is probably one of my favorite features in an arcade game ever.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    Adaptive sound packages! One of my favorite things about Mousin' Around is how much is synchronized to the music. The CHEESE lights blink in time to the music, many sound effects are transposed to match the current key of the music, there are seamless transitions between certain music tracks, stuff like that. Those sorts of effects aren't nearly as practical with today's audio technology and I really miss them.

    Now with what appears to be a focus on lightshows, I think this will get more common again.

    We started to see it with interactive mods that tied to play field effects, but now with LED pixels, interactive elements I think are starting to make a comeback. Just look at GnR and LedZep, both have interactive lighting packages!

    Also, mousin around is just so good... So there's that...
