[QUOTE="StarDust4Ever, post: 84875, member: 3033"] Good idea, however, some gamers might get burned out buying too similar Pinball tables, especially those sequels that have the same layout. For example, Pinbot and Jackbot have identical layouts, as do High Speed and Getaway. However, Bride of Pinbot is a completely different table from Pinbot, and IMO the better of the two. I understand that manufacturers occasionally recycled layouts in order to reduce cost (multiple tables use the same parts = cheaper to build/repair). I really don't believe that JackBot will add anything substantial to the Pinball Arcade. I think we desperately need either High Speed or Getaway in the collection. Which one, I have no idea. I played the NES version of High Speed, which would be a really fine pinball sim were it not for all the stupid "hazards" that were not part of the original table. For tables with the same layout, I'd go with whichever was the most successful in the arcades. For Pinball sequels with truly unique layouts, for example Pinbot / Bride of Pinbot, or Elvira / Scared Stiff, both tables should be featured in The Pinball Arcade. And IMO Farsight needs to group future table packs into themes rather than release two completely unrelated tables in the same pack and force customers to buy both. Sadly, I didn't play much pinball growing up, so I don't have any nostalgic preference for one table as opposed to another in most cases. I am just becoming a pinball addict through the virtual recreations and crave more of them. I'd also love to walk into a bar or arcade and play a real table, but sadly it doesn't seem likely.
