- Yah, but how does it compare to the real thing? are the angles similiar?
- ball bounce similiar? to get an idea of what I'm asking, I dunno if anyone
- else got 'pinball magic' off of wuarchive, but playing that is very bizarre.

- angles near the tops of bumps, and the tilt doesn't work very well. Makes
