[QUOTE="FurVid, post: 11757, member: 19"] Bride of Pinbot has a really neat light show too, but it just doesn't come through in TPA. I think those kinds of lighting effects must be pretty difficult to simulate. For instance, in Gorgar, you can clearly see lamps behind the rubbers near the snake pit. When you hit the pit, the plastics flash, though there's no spillover of light onto the playfield and the lamps themselves stay the same brightness. If they can't turn those few lamps on for gorgar and have the playfield glow around them, then I imagine trying to do that for games that came out two decades later is pretty hopeless. So the playfield itself is too evenly illuminated and looks too bright during normal play and then too faint during the special lighting sequences. Basically, it feels like playing the game in a very brightly lit room, not the darker arcades or bars we're used to. But it gives us something to look forward too on our iPad 6 or whatever in a few years. [/QUOTE]
