**Scotty Canuck** · 01-09-2011, 08:13 AM

Wow, thats some good work there Cloda. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the tables, especially my favourite, Rocky & Bullwinkle

**Womble** · 01-09-2011, 10:21 PM

Which reminds me... is R&B a good table? I've been itching for a new one, and that's the only table I haven't bought yet.

I'd rate it down the bottom of the pile, along with Speed Machine.

Both machines have slingshots from hell, with the ball continually being thrown in to the outlanes. So it's a grind-fest of hitting ramps and lighting up CAKE. Tedious, and annoying.

Ugh... Just once, I'd like a table with no outlanes whatsoever. Those things are probably the most frustrating thing about pinball. If I screw up and the ball slips between the paddles, fine. But I hate hate HATE losing a ball through no fault of my own.

I know what you mean, those things are a pain... That's why you have to get good at activating the kickbacks and/or ball save constantly.

Also about R&B, definitely not my favorite or anything, but there is some fun to be had on it. Its also the highest scoring table out right now, mostly due to a ball holding glitch, but even without it, it isn't hard to score a 100 million plus... Complete the collection and pick that one up

Since the fx 2 core/marvel tables I haven't played any of the older tables except for Excalibur and Earth Defense and I don't think that I will ever again as new tables come out etc. The quality, layout and skill required on the new tables is just miles better than the original tables - no draw card for me any more. So, in my opinion R&B is not worth getting as it won't ever get loads of game time with all these other amazing tables around (and new ones hopefully sooner than later)

I think that's really just part of pinball. If it wasn't for them the game would go on forever until your eyeballs were bleeding.

That's what rocky and bullwinkle feels like to me. I prefer them a little unforgiving. That's what I love about wolverine you have to keep the ballsave and other features going in order to get a half decent score.

I used to hate the outlanes in excalibur but I don't see it as a problem since the physics upgrade.

I didn't like spiderman at first but one I'd got used to the fact that the game will go on for ages and it's more about making the biggest shots you can within the time I began liking it again.

I still love nightmare mansion and agents. Nightmare mansion is a lot more forgiving now and I can get to the wizard mode twice in a game now.

Personally the only table I don't like is R&B it just gos on forever. I'm not too keen on buccaneers either any more. Both these tables can be played for hours without losing the ball.

Speed machines is still fun but as people have pointed out the spinner shot and slingshots are a pain.

I guess it depends what you want. Personally I'd love a go on the zen pinball games as I have a PS3 with a broken blu ray but it doesn't like my monitor. It looks like tesla is based on the shadow which is a really unforgiving machine. I'd love to see how that has translated.

Wow, very nice work. Definatly intresting.

Yeah, I know. I was mostly just venting. Though I do wonder sometimes what it would be like if they set out to make the easiest pinball table ever.

Spider-Man, I warmed up to. It's the Iron Man and Wolverine tables that are my arch-enemies. I like them quite a bit, but they can be very tricky.

Sorry for the late reply mate, I think R&B is enjoyable for me more for the theme, rather than the table itself. I loved the R&B cartoons when I was a kid

Like others have said, it is easy, and it is a grind fest. You do play the R&B table differently, by always trying to get CAKE before going for points (read: ramp combos). Side note... CAKEs new album is awesome LOL
