    Quoted from Chosen_S:

    It's strange how some Trons do feel Klunky, but mine does not. It feels like MMR that I played at TPF this year, it feels like my nib ST that I got last year.
    The Tron LE at TPF felt klunky to me, Tron isn't for everyone , but those that like Tron a little, walk away loving the experience

    I have a collection of early SS Bally and Sterns. Typically I crank up the back adjusters just to make things interesting. I recently purchased Tron and also cranked it up in the back. That was a big mistake. Played it like that for a day and hated it. Then I adjusted it to the designers spec with the bubble between the lines and magically everything made sense. LOTR was my favorite new Stern. It has been replaced by Tron. Total adrenalin. Do not play this game tired or casually because you will be just wasting your time.

    Quoted from Taxman:

    This is difficult. A combination of allergies and insomnia leave me in a tired state most of the time. Also, I do not own a tuxedo. If I have to go out and rent one just to play TRON formally that is just too much to ask.

    I think business casual would be OK.

    Quoted from jawjaw:

    Pinball is no fun if you have to take a nap and psych yourself up just to play a game. Maybe that is why I never got the LOTR love.

    LOTR is more of a marathon. A good game is a 40 minute time commitment. That's why it didn't stay around very long in my pinball league. It created a huge back up. A group of 3 top players could take an hour and a half to play LOTR. And that is with a ball busting tournament setup.
