Quoted from SuperPinball:Does anyone know when the last EM was released? I think it was 1976 but I could be wrong.
Bally had a EM bingo in 1980 http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3481
Williams until 1977
Gottlieb until 1979
Zaccaria until 1978
Chicago Coin until 1977
Stern until 1977
Playmatic until 1977
Segasa until 1977
Quoted from NextoPin:It seems modern pinball design is all about predictable shots and if the ball has any sort of random return to the flippers then it's bad design. They seem to try to take all the luck out of them. Modern pinball seems to be more about skill and knowledge and if you don't know all the rules you can't compete at the same level as someone with the same skill and more game knowledge.
I agree 100%. I have several DMD games that I still don't know 100% (TSPP). Between ways to exploit the scoring, 5-way combos and stacking, if you don't know the ins and outs you won't do very well in competition.
Walk up to an EM, and in 5 seconds, you can explain all the rules. A minute to learn...a lifetime to master.
