OP
Quoted from Ericc123:
I was just thinking today about how much I miss interactive toys that are under the glass. Don't get me wrong, certain games have done a decent job, but obviously we are far from the hay day of Bally/Williams. For fun I started thinking what I would give up in modern games to get back to those fun mechs. Just a mental exercise nothing more. I'll start with I would give up. I would give up the LCD screen for more mechs. I realized that the LCD doesn't cost much, but I feel like my DMD's were fine and theme integration was fine without them.

Pop bumpers don’t always need to be three. Stand targets are often not adding any excitement to a game.

I would rather have a cool mech on the playfield than a shaker motor as long as the shaker can be added later.

Scoops without subways seem like they would often cost more than they are worth.

Mini lcd screens on playfields are not usually as enjoyable as mechanical toys.
