I was quite impressed with this table, too. It's an amazingly faithful recreation of the original table -- the author of that one really took his time and did it right. I used to play the real thing back in an old pool hall I used to haunt. When I wasn't playing pool, I was playing Twilight Zone, or this other one whose name escapes me at the moment. (It was another pool-themed game whose main feature was a rather large white cue ball in the center of the table that you'd hit at times to score points. Mainly, I played this one 'cos the replay score was rediculously easy to beat. :-)

What I'd like to see? I think it was Superman... the last pinball table Atari developed way back, and certainly one of the largest (if not THE largest) pinball tables ever to make a dent on an arcade floor.

I'd also love to see Xenon (was that it? The sci-fi themed one in the early 80s with artwork that reminded me of H.R. Geiger -- maybe it was his art?) and one other, it may have been black knight. The main thing I remember about the table was that it was 3 levels -- an upper, a main, and a sub-level underneath the main level with two small flippers and a few targets.

Ah, those were the days...
