Quoted from zacaj:Kiss has 4 I think?
I assume it's a directive from the top or something :/
Exactly so.
Gary Stern is a big believer in odd numbers of pop bumpers (whenever possible) being good feng shui, and that good feng shui leads to good fortune.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:The spinning one drives me nuts.
Not me. I like it.
Easily remedied though.
Quoted from waynoid:Also I don't know if anyone mentioned that The Shadow has no pop bumpers. I know its not a stern game, but i think the game is great without any pops.
Yes and agreed!
Quoted from I_P_D_B:... I also am tired of the ubiquitous Italian bottom, it's been done to death, IMHO. Especially in solid state games. The slingshots facing each other like a V, always volleying the ball back and forth bap bap bap bap, until it either head towards an outlane or towards the flipper end of the inlane. The same predictable dance. It's interesting to me that more players don't notice the repetitiveness of play in that dance and demand more variety there, other than it's foreplay for those popular aimed long shots.
I love a good Italian bottom ( 
), but it would be nice to see some innovation here too.
