[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 58874, member: 1600"] And that's the funny thing about that story, because they often leave that detail out, leaving you to imagine that Sharpe put on a display worthy of a PAPA video. Far from it! By his own account he was at sea on that table. But it's also true that the plunger should be one of the most repeatable events in the game. I could actually see throwing in SOME degree of variability, because for instance, a plunger rod can spin, introducing some smidgeon of variability, and the ball rolling up the chute would never take an ideal track, but would rather wobble some like a bobsled. The first game I ever played a ton was Taxi when it was a brand new table, and it has one of the best skill shots in pinball, but no way was it as easy to hit as it is in TPA. Roger Sharpe himself has told the story in public probably fifty times, but here's one you can hear for yourself, along with a million other stories about how he got into pinball and then became the licensing king at WMS.
