[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 189642, member: 3745"] Not that I'm trying to hijack Tarek's thread, but if you want a face with my name too, [URL="http://dos486.com/misc/vikingerik.jpg"]here[/URL] On Sterns, build quality isn't the problem. I've never felt they're any different than Williams there. But there's an emotional element in the Williams games that's missing from the Sterns. It feels like the Sterns are too tightly bound to rehashing the corporate manufactured licenses, that there's no room for creativity and revelry. Williams games go NUTS with excitement when hitting multiballs or super jackpots. Sterns are just like, ok yeah now shoot this. There are exceptions - "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" - but mostly the Stern games lack the same visceral feeling. I don't know if that's Tarek's complaint, but it's mine. Funny that Timeshock itself is poor in that department too (besides the time travel sequence) but obviously I like that one. I have played Wizard of Oz, a few dozen games. It looks fantastic, but I still haven't figured out anything about what's going on with the rule set. It's pretty but I can't find the meat of the gameplay. [/QUOTE]
