Was he rolling his eyes at me? All I see is ignored user post.

Quoted from taylor34:

To explain myself a little more, I've went through a lot of the 90's Williams, either owning them or working on them for someone else or playing them a lot at other people's houses. Usually it becomes sequence of:
1) acquire game
2) play it a ton
3) reach wizard mode
4) playing starts to tail off, reach wizard mode more times
5) game sits idle
That also happens on other manufacturers games of that era for me, it's not confined to Williams at all. I can look at the game and say "the theme is awesome, the art is great, it's fun, why don't I have the urge to play you anymore?". I think it's the feeling that I've accomplished almost everything on that game, hence the desire to play lessens a lot.
On the BBH/IM era Sterns that have come out, it goes against the grain over every other game I've liked. I usually like deep rulesets more than anything else. But those games like IM/Tron/Avatar etc have brought me to a different place where it's not about start this mode then start this mode then start this mode etc, it's more about setting things up to stack and generating huge scores off of strategy that so many of the 90's games lack really. There's a lot more randomness and the ball times are way shorter, which leads to the 'one more time' effect. In essence, they're just more fun and addictive than the older games are to me anyways. More collectible? Absolutely not. Better built? No way. But more fun? Absolutely in the long run, and that's all that really matters...what it's worth in X years or who makes it doesn't mean anything to me, it only matters that it's fun and that I play it. Hopefully that clears it up for whatever the ignored user asked, and that's why I would recommend Tron over IJ, because you'll end up playing it more.
