I just picked up one of these , way over paid .because I had to have one ... "Don't do that" after looking into it it seems like it was make for home use only ... Why are the graphics pixilated ? Fasteners seem cheep ? The cab seems really cheaply made , legs like tin... And what about the two targets on either side of the center ramp? Just weird?

Was it the end of an era?

You are right about the ,extras plenty of them.. I thought the ideas where a great . Poorly executed in quality it seems , I will add I like the game it flows nice, has a lot of multiballs and great call outs ... Even though the sound quality is awful ... I did get the hum out of mine via sterns bulletin ..

That's a good call vid , what was the cost of ap new?

The apron is cheep, the cab is awfully made? Seems to Made of cheaper materials ... And what's up with that digital pixilated printing job on both the cab and playfield ?
