- This may be a dumb question, but is matching really random?
- I ask because I played Dr. Who for a couple of hours one
- night and matched four times. On the other hand, I've
- played Fish Tales much more and never matched. Maybe
- Dr. Who is more generous because (IMHO) it sucks, especially
- by comparison with Fish Tales.
- Dr. Who is a good concept
- game, but it's too repetitive -- wasting time charging
- the transmat with the long boring shot to the upper left,
- and then clanking away 15 times at the transmat when it
- raises. The targets on the transmat deaden the ball
- too much, and the far right target is in a shadow zone.
- The playfield is really a throwback to the past when
- there was usually a row of targets across the top and
- long rows down both sides. My final complaint is the
- third flipper, so I guess I can't mention the video mode...
