[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 33250, member: 1046"] I enjoy playing some of those higher-quality EMs in VP8/9, but nothing about them looks drastically better than what Microsoft put out. And considering there are 5 awful recreations for every good one, the average VP tables don't consistently look as good as MPA. [url]http://www.microsoft.com/games/pinball/screenshots/hhouse_800600.jpg[/url] [url]http://assets2.ignimgs.com/1999/02/11/mspinball006-101142.jpg[/url] [url]http://static.sgcdn.net/cache/85560/image/79.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/10631-microsoft-pinball-arcade-windows-screenshot-slick-chicks.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.microsoft.com/games/pinball/screenshots/cueball_600450.jpg[/url] Of course, all of the MPA tables are prerendered, but I think they hold up just fine. Only the menu looks terrible by today's standards. I'm not knocking the hard work that VP creators have put into its finer releases. It was more of a comparison on classic EMs that are playable in a digital format and that MPA still serves as a good Gottlieb (+1 Mirco) collection. On that front, MPA is the only retail competition, but it's also 14 years old. [/QUOTE]
