[QUOTE="ATOMIC BOY, post: 62790, member: 2147"] The game play on this table feels fine to me. Can't complain about the speed or even the REALLY annoying 'random' shots straight down the center or magnetic attraction to the out lanes. That's the kind of stuff that I associate with the fury of real world pinball. The problem I do have are those ridiculous local high scores. Seriously, I really want to know where they are from. Are they from the actual table ROM? It really takes a lot of the fun of the table away for me because there is a certain sense of ownership in climbing the local high scores and getting to the top. It is also interesting that though the local high scores are apparently impossible to ever reach, the wizard goals on this table were the easiest for me to achieve than any other TPA table. I think I had them all tackled by the 3rd or 4th time I played it. That seems like some terrible inconsistency. Another personal drawback is that I obsessively refuse to buy another TPA table until I've hit the highest score on a table. It seems like a good rule of thumb to really appreciate and get to know a table a bit before greedily going after another. It seems right now, I seriously will not be buying another TPA table ever again! Cactus Canyon has taken the fun out of 'owning' a table since I am unable to connect with it on that emotional level. I'd really suggest that Farsight address the concerns on this thread, if only to explain them. If it was confirmed that we are all playing a table that was really a piece of unfinished pinball history, it would change my perspective as having it a part of my collection. [/QUOTE]
