Sure you can play video game pinball, but its not the same as playing a real machine. Pinball is very fun but it has its problems, the machines are difficult and expensive to maintain. Many people also get a bad impression of pinball because they find a machine in bad condition on location and play that, and thats what cements their opinion about it. Pinball is only truly fun when you have a machine that works 100% to play on, and to find those machines are rare these days. Its also best if you have a machine at a location that you frequently visit, if you continue to play the same game over and over, it becomes more fun and more of a challenge. Each machine takes at least a few plays to learn as well, its not really the type of thing you pop a quarter into, play a quick game and then walk away from.

I admit that I've never been a huge fan of pinball as I never have played many before but lately as I have had a greater opportunity to do so, I've gotten into it more. Each board is different (well except for cases like Shrek) and just the experience is something you don't get in a video game by controlling a real object. Geo,

I am of the feeling that the amusement operators are the worst enemy of the amusement scene at the moment - most want a way out of amusement operation (turn their sites into rental space), while the others want to keep it a secret they are making money and just want to milk it without buying new hardware. Chuck E. Cheese and Dave & Busters saw major upswing in revenue - the same is true for GameWorks and Peter Pizza - these are the guys that have to report figures, what the rest are doing is a interesting situation. I wonder if the time has come for self operation across the board, this would ensure connected machines, clean and regular operation and remove the operator from the mix?

I hope that there is a lot of gratuitous destruction to go around. I do hope that it comes to the States - if not, that would be really strange. I was disappointed by the fact that 2Spicy didn't see a general release so I hope the same thing doesn't happen this time around.

Think that after the problems with Sega R&D this will be a important game, and get US release at least - expect to see a system at Preview.

However, Sega has made some odd decisions lately - as well as the extremely late international release for Virtua Fighter 5, there was the decision not to release 2 Spicy in North America (and that one is a versus shootout game). Still, can't wait to get a go on this myself. In the past, I’d have said that the game was a dead cert for American release.

Rambo may be dumb war porn, but that's what video games are all about. It's funny how you were cautious about saying if it would come to the US - can you imagine a Rambo game being Japan-only? This year is going to be the best year for new arcade releases in a long time. Now let's see screenshots of the inevitable compound bow. Helllll yeah!
