    It would be a joke if machines that require an accurate plunge to start each ball had one of those buttons or guns.

    Quoted from Coz:

    So I see there’s not much love for the launch button.

    Nah. There are too many games where the plunge is one of the most important shots of the ball.

    And where would New York City be if Roger Sharpe had hit a launch button while trying to demonstrate pinball as a game of skill in the shot that saved pinball for that city?

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    If there is no real plunge skill shot, why bother with a plunger?

    Seriously? A proper plunge can set the tone for an entire ball, with or without skillshot.

    A bad plunge can and will net an almost sure quick drain.
