    Only recently have I started to get into pinball, so I have a base level understanding of things. My understanding of The Addams Family, that while a very fun and beloved game, it can become stale for people with a lot of time on it. Is there much to do aside from the modes?

    Then there’s Twilight Zone, which is always near the top of the list of best machines ever. So this brings me back to my original question. What lessons from TAF did Pat Lawlor take to Twilight Zone to make it one of the most beloved tables of all time?

    Interesting points made.

    Could one argue JJP is doing something not dissimilar? WOZ certainly appears to have as many different things going on in a limited space.

    Was TZ truly lousy on route, or was it just that the extra maintenance and value of the machine made it not worth it compared to something like TAF?
