[QUOTE="QuickAceItsA2ndChance, post: 260555, member: 6417"] Too bad you guys didn't talk about the Doctor Who custom balls. I was looking forward to your take on them before buying. Whether or not you're into Who, the Whomobile is a hell of a lot of fun! First of all, I find it hilarious that a sci-fi car featured in a few episodes over 40 years ago gets a special tribute in TPA. Playing Indy 500 or High Speed with the Whomobile is the best! Like having a mini slot car set, as the Whomobiles always turn to face the direction in which they're moving. Vrooom! Most of the glo-balls look not too impressive on Android mobile. As I feared, they just look like a basic videogame colored dot with little sense of dimension. And, as a result, the pinball simulation "illusion" of TPA is messed with. The one exception is the "glow in the dark" color ball. Playing Black Hole or Space Shuttle with them is a lovely nostalgia trip! Reminds me of toys I had back in the time of those tables, when glow-in-the-dark was a big deal. And it fits well with the old school sci-fi feel of those tables. [/QUOTE]
