What about HRC didn't you like compared to your other games?

Quoted from ViperVS:While playing, it feels like something will break any minute now. It's the overall look and feel:
Flippers feel very flimsy/loose. Gameplay feels very toyish.
Targets are plastic, Apron is plastic, service rails are missing. Playfield print quality looks very cheap. "Translite" looks like it was printed on a copy paper (washed out colors and poor contrast). Instead of even backlight, there is one fluorescent lamp in there. And the result is very uneven lighting which reflects on the playfield glass terribly.
Cabinet side art print quality looks super cheap compared to what williams had on -93. You would think that 8 years later printing techniques have developed a bit?
It's like it was designed and built with half the budget that B/W had. It amazes me that this was designed as commercial vending equipment.
Were these a lot cheaper back in the day compared to the past B/W's?
I'd say they've improved somewhat in that respect. Maybe not to B/W levels, but definitely better than HRC. Flippers are more solid, new games have service rails, printing on playfield, cabinet, plastics has improved. LED instead of fluorescent. I'd be impressed if HRC even had half the budget B/W had.
Many don't.
Quoted from Frippertron:How are new pinball players gonna get interested in games like this.
Most seem to do just fine.
