Torrance, CA
Quoted from Part_3:People saying they don't need LCD screens is the same argument some had against DMD, SS Pins, and scoring reels. Hard to believe, but scoring reels replacing lighted scoring in the backglass was very controversial in it's time. Same argument, flush, repeat. Technology moves on folks....
You know, there are a lot of people who say "I just play the game, I don't need to watch a screen, I'm looking at the playfield." But $20 says if you took away their "dots" for just a System 11 style alphanumeric display they'd scream blood murder. They want the animations and eye candy, just in terms they're already familiar with.
People tend to like what they're used to. What feels like "pinball" to them, which is often tied to an era and intangible feelings.
