[QUOTE="BrentMpls, post: 26457, member: 829"] Yesterday at the annual State Fair, I had the chance to play the actual Cirqus Voltaire table! They had four tables, three of which were working. The Simpsons, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cirqus Voltaire, and Creature from the Black Lagoon, which sadly was out of order (I would have loved to play that most of all!) I played Simpsons for a while - there was a annoying part of the table where if you shoot it in the garage there was a ~20 second wait for the ball to release. But enough about that! This is about Cirqus Voltaire! Some impressions: -The bumpers on the left and right just above the flippers were very interactive, much more so than the Pinball Arcade version - the slightest touch would send the ball flying off with great velocity. -The ball in the circle-cage that the pinball can bounce off of in the lower left play field seemed to be a much bigger part of the 'real' game than the pinball arcade version, it was hit much more often and cause the pinball to behave very unpredictably, where as in the pinball arcade version it doesn't seem to be hit as much, and the interaction isn't as wild as with the real table. -The lighting! Oh my gosh, the lights! They were so bright and involved. The green neon strip to the right side of the table in particular was so bright it was amazing. The pinball arcade version you barley notice that it lights up with each ball launch. I think a 'dark' room version of each table would be a fun idea, something that really brings out the neon lighting as it was a big part of the game and to be honest I didn't notice it at all until I knew to look for it now (I played some pb arcade once I got home to check it out for a fresh comparison). Here are some pictures, and a short video.
