Randr…I do it for others, but mostly for myself. I love that I can make them into whatever I want and really push the limits of my cab. Turn the lights down and watch the light show. For me, I stay away from FP recreations for the most part because they don’t compare with VP. But I own a 1964 Gottlieb, and I’ve never played a VP game that recreates it. They all play too fast. The older tables play slow because they have a much lower slope. Those old solenoids can’t bang a ball up a ramp…lol. So, I think it is fair to say that nothing gets it perfect, but they all give their own experiences. I got turned off by FP years ago and swore I’d never go back, then I found BAM, Zed physics, and 2.6 and 2.7 physics. That plus DOFLinx brought it back in my opinion. Its kinda funny, I kinda adjust myself to FP physics and then when I go back to playing VP, I have to adjust back. When I go to my old Gottlieb, I have to adjust once again (especially to the manual ball kicker/plunger to load a ball). And even in an arcade, tables (if you can find one) are in such bad shape, they don’t play like a new one. You always have to make mental adjustments to play to the strengths of that particular table. So, as you and Terry say, give it a try. If it’s not your thing…no biggie…but don’t hate on it. And don’t rip on us who like it and spend our time trying to share our fun with others.
